Teen Threatens Warcraft game mods with online suicide!

Posted by Impulse On January - 10 - 2009

If you wanted Nexon Game cards or a game you would ask your parents right? Not this Ohio teen he called Warcraft game moderators and threatened them he would commit suicide if he didn’t get what he asked for. A 17-year-old resident of Fair-field Township in Ohio,Will be going to juvenile court this week with inducing panic. (a misdemeanor) after he told a Blizzard Rep that World of Warcraft was the only thing left in his life and that he was suicidal. The smart-rep dialed 911 and the teen got a pair of new Metal Handcuffs and his first ride in a police cruiser. the teen said to police “I was just trying to get what I wanted in-game.” This kind of event has happened before but,with a sad ending. In 2001 A Wisconsin man shot himself after his mother told him he was highly addicted to the popular game Everquest.

    I won’t definitely resort to this even though it’s the last option a I have. It’s just a game. Spare your life my friend.

    Jeez… People need to realize that computer games are nothing but time-burners, no matter how good the storyline or gaming experience is. There just isn’t a substitute for a real life. So go get one. XP
