If you thought you could hide online, think again. Alfred "Rastlynn" Hightower just found out that when you're playing World of Warcraft, you can't hide from the law.

Hightower was wanted in Howard County, Indiana for two charges of dealing a controlled substance and for dealing marijuana, but had fled the country to Canada. Howard County sheriffs had enlisted the help of the U.S. Marshals to track down the suspect, and were working with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to extradite him. However, they had to locate him first.

As we mentioned earlier, the new PvP system (or at least a large part of it) for Age of Conan is currently on the Testlive server, and undergoing rigorous testing. We're particularly impressed by tester Ydiss, who has gone out of his way to provide feedback based on actual play experience rather than speculation and hyperbole. Through testing, some interesting features of the system have come to light, which shatter previous player assumptions and weren't spelled out in the notes.

Many players had assumed killing an Innocent of your own level would result in Murder Points, but it doesn't. The research actually shows that you can gank players of up to two levels below you (and any amount of levels above you) without any penalty other than being temporarily flagged as Criminal. This removes a huge anticipated bar to free PvP.

Being a Criminal gives you a funky crossed-swords icon above your head (see image) and being a Murderer gives you a skull.
