Chinese Student arrested in Japan for playing MMORPG

Wang Yue Si, 23 years old, left China for Japan 2 years ago. Last April, he started to resell gold and magical items from MMORPG games on e-Bay and related auction websites. Becoming a professional farmer, he started to send money to his bank accounts in China. These transactions were noticed by the Japanese authorities and he got arrested, his student visa not allowing him to conduct commercial activities in Japan. The police evaluates his total revenue to 1 million €!

1 million € in 6 months!!! Can you imagine this?

    […] I hope they will fix it ASAP or it will probably cause a major economic crisis in China. Just imagine all the Gold Farmers that are unable to connect to overseas World of Warcraft servers in Asia!!! […]
