It's a bit stunning when issues about a certain MMORPG spills over to real life - and with rather unsavory consequences. Never does anyone any good, it it just creates a lot of drama for all the people involved. Such is the case, unfortunately, with the recent arrest of Tamara Broome, 31, World of Warcraft player and alleged kidnapper of her 17-year-old boyfriend.
Details are a bit scant at the moment, but what we know is this: Tamara was contacted by her boyfriend's parents with the simple request that they sort it all out. This meeting required a bit of air travel, as Tamara lived in Australia at the time.
On her way to her partner's home, however, she was met by three detectives and was arrested on the spot. Smells like a setup, doesn't it?
Having shared a deep and trusting relationship with her barely-legal boyfriend for more than a year now - at least, in the online realm of World of Warcraft - Tamara clearly didn't think before she leapt, the player now facing potential jail time of more than two years if found guilty as charged.
Tamara's flatmate, who wished to remain anonymous, maintained that it wasn't in Tamara's intentions to kidnap the boy at all, saying that it was him who wanted to fly over to Australia to be with Tamara in the first place. She also added that the boy's parents might have hacked into their son's account to find out about the details of their relationship.
