#2“I - or Rumor, then - acted a little on impulse; jumped out of the bushes and snatched the hat off Ibelin. Stay silent for a moment, we looked at each other. Then I ran away with his hat, without thought for where I ran, says Lisette and smiles.”
You can’t do that in the game.

Too bad that's all you were able to take away. I lived a similar childhood with parents who to this day don't understand how much my online friends meant to me. This article really spoke to me.

It's possible that this was done entirely through chat. Ie/ Rumor types " Snatches Hat " in chat. As long as both players agree that what's typed in chat is what happened, it doesn't matter if the game actually has an animation to support it.

I used to MUD back in the day and there were role players who were very much into the character, and if you typed "snatches hat", it doesn't matter if the game didn't have support for it, that's what happened.
Given that this wasn't rare, it seems likely that that's what happened.

#8I was a bit apprehensive about posting a google translated article, as some parts may be slightly off, so it's great to see some people enjoyed it despite that.
It's originally written by Norway's national broadcasting (NRK), and since the art/pictures don't seem to be included in the translated version, here's the original link for anyone who wants to check it out: https://www.nrk.no/dokumentar/xl/forst-da-mats-var-dod_-fors...
It has a few images of Mats, a few of his guildmates and a few drawings which really help bring the story to life.

Yup. WoW has special servers marked for roleplaying (as opposed to the more achievement-oriented "normal" servers), and it sounds like they were playing on one of those.

#10That was a great read, very hard to read because I could imagine where it was going. Makes me feel like I have a knot in my throat. :(
There's a netflix show called Dad of Light:

Based on a true story, it's worth watching.
