A Chinese man has been stabbed to death in a row over a sword in online game Legends of Mir 3, say reports.

Shanghai gamer Qiu Chengwei killed player Zhu Caoyuan when he discovered he had sold a "dragon sabre" he had been loaned, said the china Daily.

Mr Chengwei only got the powerful virtual weapon shortly before it was sold for 7,200 yuan (£460).

Before the attack Mr Chengwei told police about the theft who said the weapon was not real property..................

This is in contrast to places like South Korea which has a section of its police force that investigates in-game crime.

The Village: 1

"HAh." Said the old man as he walked down the bichon highstreet clutching his bottle of whisky and talknig to what seemed like her daughter. Who you could tell didnt really want to be with him at this moment.
"Dad... why don't you just not say anything... Your causing us alot of unwanted attention." She said rather angrilyas she was pretty much now draging him up the high street
"Remember why we are here?" She spoke looking around franticly for someone but not finding them.
"I know i know!" Spat the old man.
"its just bichon used to be .... such a pleasent place... Now a town full of great greif and Scum..." He sneered
"You shouldnt have drank... now if ive told you a billion time before... its that you Shouldn't drink while travelling! Remember that three day treck through Phantom forrest?...You must have fell out over four or five times... It was a disaster... if you want them to take is seriously my father... Its best you come to these things sober in the future!"

they continued to walk and before they knew it they were at the edge of bichon palace
"AH" Said the young girl
"We have arrived"
And so they walked into the great oak doors and into the grand hall of the legendry Bichon Pallace The floor was decorated in a luxuourius blood red carpet. The Walls littered with great paintings and tapastrys the room was empty except for a pair of guards standing at the foot of the grand stair case
"State your purpose!" Said the two guards in a unison order.
"We....A...RE the... Dellleeeegation......" The Old man tried to speak but it was too late he fainted.
"Oh dear god no not again... Whats the point in bringing him for Oma's sake if hes gonna...... grrr!"
One guard rushed to help while the other stood shaking his head But the young girl had to think fast.
"Ill go in with out him.... Theres no time to waste!"
the guards looked shocked
"Whater we do with him then?" Said the guard who was still in a deep laugh.
"Just erm leave him hear for the moment i shouldn't be that long. She began to walk towards the the throne room
"And btw i am the delegation from Arkvia... I believe i am expected."

She entered the throne room.. great room more grander than the hall Filled with marble gold and littered with more pictures. There was a great red carpet that lead towards a throne were the Emperor was sitting in deep thought. The emperor was a cloaked man at all times he hid his face under a dark mask... He wasn't a compasionate man at all But he ruled with an iron fist. She aproached the Emperor and in a weak and nervous voice she spoke.
"My lord i come from The village of Arkvia..."
" Fool!" The emperor interrupted
"First you must bow" He said in a comical tone
the royal subjects around him went into a deep and evil laugh as she wasted no time in bowing
"My lord my apologies...."
"Do continue" Said the Emperor interupting her again.
"My lord i am Counciller Jade from the village Arkvia... I have come in need of assitence... As you may know my village is right on the edge of Numa territorry The nearest Mir village to us is 40 miles down illuison path.
The numas know this... And so they have been taking advantage of us.. Burning our house's adn stealing our crops we need your help!"
the emperor tapped his fingers for a few seconds
"Why dont you leave then? As you may know my armys are stretched there is no way i can help you."
"My lord.... we are doomed then?"
The emperoor laughed carelesly
"I f you say so!" The emperor said as she stormed out of the castle

As Jade walked to find her father she had no idea what she should do know.
was she to return helpless? Or would she just simply not return, But then a thought surged in her brain
We will have to find sumone else to help us.

I beleive someones already been sued over a video game article... I thought I read something about it in Everquest.
