Sony files MMO patent which would offer incentives for real-world meet ups
Sony has filed a patent for a program which is a form of meet-up software which would put real-life names to MMO players and allow gamers to set up meet-and-greets with one another. Engadget dug the imformation up, and looking it over, it seems Sony would offer incentives for such fact-to-face meetings with that dwarf you, er um, converge with at Bridge Keep while everyone else is fighting mobs. Go have a look through the links.

This is for official meet ups, organized events by Sony &/or their partners, not just another thing for sexual predators to exploit.

@2, you know what a real MMO player would say:
“Better off raped up the ass in real life than raped in the game. Your real life ass will heal, but that kind of rape-age in game is permanent.”
