A gamer in the USA flew 1,500 kilometers to punish an opponent in an online game (5 photos)
20-year-old Edward Kang from New Jersey flew to Florida - and attacked a peer named Zachary Digne. A hammer was used, and the guy’s stepfather managed to stop the bloody massacre. This is the case when someone actually managed to calculate the coordinates of an enemy using IP. 
Edward Kang drove to Jacksonville, telling his mother he was going to visit an online gaming friend. The woman had no idea that her sweet son was planning a terrible massacre.

The gamer got to Florida, found his rival’s house, and broke into the apartment at about two o’clock in the morning. Before this, he bought a hammer at a hardware store, which he used to try to kill Zachary Dinh. Only the presence of the boy's stepfather in the house saved his life. 
According to investigators, the players had never seen each other before. Digne also did not provide his address. The guys knew each other only from the game ArcheAge, which takes place in a fictional world with elements of magic and the Middle Ages. It is unclear how exactly one of them annoyed the other, but Kang was detained and charged with attempted murder and armed burglary. 
Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper called the case "bizarre" during a news conference Monday. This is the first time this has happened in his practice. 
It is known that the victim of the gamer received non-life-threatening head injuries. The guy received several stitches and overall he feels fine. Perhaps this episode will make him more cautious about playing online games, and will teach his parents to close the front door at night.
