Tankus Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 BBCOnline role-playing games are very well populated Police in Japan have arrested a Chinese student over the use of a network of software "bots" to steal items in an online role playing game (RPG). Players were attacked in the game, Lineage II, and their items were then sold for cash on auction sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
