Didn't someone kill themself over EverQuest a while ago?

And if I could sell something in Ultima for 875 dollars I would be all over it!

ITS CRACK I TELL YA...............................MUST HAVE UO MUST AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Just kidding. People will take anything seriously especially if they are more likely to have an addiction. Sports/TV/Games all have the likely hood of leading people down a dark path.

I sold my Castle on OSI almost 3 years ago for 2000 bucks USD.
Sold it on Ebay, and sold all my accounts and stuff. All in all I cleared 5 grand.

It paid for a new Super Charger for my car
