A lawsuit has been filed against Blizzard Entertainment by the parents of a young man who died while allegedly reenacting a scene from World of Warcraft (WoW). The case has sparked a debate about the influence of video games on behavior, with some participants questioning the validity of the lawsuit and suggesting that the responsibility lies with the parents for not supervising their child properly. There is skepticism about the idea that video games, particularly WoW, have caused multiple deaths, with some arguing that the number of fatalities is minimal compared to the player base. The discussion also touches on the absurdity of the situation, likening it to historical instances where media, such as comic books, were blamed for youth behavior. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of humor, disbelief, and criticism regarding the connection between gaming and real-life actions.

There's this shaman quest where you have to jump off a high rock (not a building though) in the thousand needles. And if you do it correctly, you are teleported back to the quest giver during your descent. First time I tried it, I fell for a long long time and then I lost all my hp. Boy was that graveyard far!
