Xinhua Online reports on the second lawsuit brought against Bejing Arctic Ice Technology Company by a disgruntled gamer who claims he lost 5,000-yuan worth of virtual weapons and equipment. Li Xuguang complained in his petition that his virtual property in the popular online computer game Qiannian, or Millennium, was looted by a hacker and then locked up by the server.
Readers will recall the same company (though a different game) was the losing defendant in the real world's first judgment finding an actionable interest in virtual assets.
