The game has a fair trading system implemented so players cannot be scammed to trade away their items without receiving compensation. Although if someone had another's account information they could simply log in, drop the items on the ground, and with their character pick them up. As I had in the past anyone can make an account under an alias, leaving the owner of the account unknown, traceable only by their IP address. The courts would have a difficult time trying to find someone to persecute if they have no known thief. Until MMO's use real currency and a strict set of rules it would be next to impossible to govern the VR games. Creating laws against certain acts would diminish the population of gamers, because there are some that enjoy playing the antagonist, such as a barbarian, theft, or bandit. For those who choose to play this way, even though they may be an upstanding citizen in society, they would still be prosecuted if they broke the "law". The reason MMO's and other games are so popular are because you get to be someone you're not and build a life. Trying to bring the law into the virtual reality is
