Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)

The lines between real-world relationships and virtual-world relationships grow ever more blurred, as a jilted lover kills her online husband.

The sinister scene went down in Maple Story, of all places, and involves a Japanese couple who, in all likelihood, have never met outside of the online game. The woman logged in one day to find that her Maple husband had ended their Maple marriage… so, knowing his account details, she logged in as his avatar and killed it. When the victim realized what had happened, he went to the police, who locked her up “on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data.” If convicted, she could go to prison for five years or a $5,000 fine. Police say that there was no real-world plot, merely the Maple Story murder (or, suicide, technically).

How do you even kill yourself in Maple Story?
