TOKYO – A 43-year-old player in a virtual game world became so angryabout her sudden divorce from her online husband that she logged onwith his password and killed his digital persona, police said Thursday.
Thewoman, who has been jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing acomputer and manipulating electronic data, used his ID and password tolog onto the popular interactive game "Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murderin May, a police official in the northern city of Sapporo said. Hespoke on condition of anonymity because of department policy.
"Iwas suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me soangry," the official quoted her as telling investigators and admittingthe allegations.
The woman, a piano teacher, had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.
She has not yet been formally charged. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison or a fine up to $5,000.
Playersin "Maple Story" create and manipulate digital images called "avatars"that represent themselves, while engaging in relationships, socialactivities and fighting monsters and other obstacles.
In virtual worlds,players often abandon their inhibitions, engaging in activity onlinethat they would never do in the real world. For instance, sex withstrangers is a common activity.
Thewoman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office workerwhen their characters were happily married to kill the character. Theman complained to police when he discovered that his online avatar wasdead.
The woman was arrested Wednesday and taken 620 miles from her home in southern Miyazaki to be detained in Sapporo, where the man lives, the official said.
The police official said he did not know if she was married in the real world.
Badonline behavior is usually handled within the rules set up by onlineworlds, which can ban miscreants or take away their virtual possessions.
In recent years, virtual lives have had consequences in the real world.
Whenbad deeds lead to criminal charges, prosecutors have found a real-worldactivity to cite — as in this case, in which the woman was charged withinappropriate computer access.
In August, a woman was charged in Delaware with plotting the real-life abduction of a boyfriend she met through the virtual reality Web site "Second Life."
InTokyo, a 16-year-old boy was charged with stealing the ID and passwordfrom a fellow player of an online game in order to swindle virtualcurrency worth $360,000.
Virtual games are popular in Japan,and "Second Life" has drawn a fair number of Japanese participants.They rank third by nationality among users, after Americans andBrazilians.
