Online Game Sparks Real World Street Brawl. One Dead.

You'd think these guys would have something better to do than kill each other over a video game. Perhaps they could spend more time not having sex with girls.

An in-game dispute between a pair of MMO guilds spilled over into the streets of the Russian city of Ufa recently, leaving one man dead and another in police custody, according to a report by RussiaToday.

Police reports indicate that two Russian guilds (the Platanium and the Coo-clocks) had recently been embroiled in conflict resulting from the (virtual) death of one of the members of the latter guild at the hands of a Platanium member. With the conflict ever-escalating in-game, it was decided that the two groups would settle their differences in the only rational manner: with a violent brawl in the local streets.Link
