Sorry, not up to par on my html so you'll just have to copy/paste this link. Anyway, this is an intriguing post from one of the EverQuest forums that I think any and all MMOLRPGers can appreciate.

Hmmm....its like walking into a middle of a conversation. One guy even stops and explains some of it, but I still don't know what I'm suppose to be looking at, laughing at, checking out....or whatever.

Some references are made to pictures....I don't see any or see links.

In short, some 17 year old kid got a hold of other people's passwords, used them to get into these other people's accounts, took their items (and sold them on E-bay), and then deleted their very high level characters. The whole time he was doing this he was sending people e-mail, describing in detail exactly what he was doing and how he couldn't be stopped.

Finally, someone managed to track this kid down, found personal information (name, address, phone #) and pictures which he then proceeded to post somewhere.

In short, using "dewd" lingo (which I abhor), the 17 year old got "owned".
