Soviet Russia - Clan Gamers Kill you for Real
2008-01-17 9:05 AM PST
An apparent clan rivalry in Lineage II sparked a street fight which left a Russian man dead.
Russia Today reports that “Albert,” 33, was beaten to death in the city of Ufa. From the story:
It all started when two clans - the Coo-clocks, made up of mostly students, and the so-called Platanium with more experienced gamers of over thirty - started fighting to wipe out each other on screen…
Albert used to spend hours in font of his computer. On the web he had his own clan and a dozen of warriors. Just days before the New Year in a virtual battle his clan killed a member of the hostile Coo-clocks.
Days later the enemies agreed to meet literally face to face in the real world.
Although the choppy translation doesn’t mention which game Albert and the Coo-clocks played, a screenshot from Lineage II accompanies the article, so we’re assuming a connection. Albert’s grieving sister told Russia Today:
I think [the rival clan] have confused the game and reality. And after we buried him on December 31, they continued to threaten us.
