Authorities say an online gaming dispute made its way to the real world when a New Jersey man flew to Florida to attack another player with a hammer. Court records show that 20-year-old Edward Kang is charged with attempted second-degree murder and armed burglary with a mask. The Nassau County Sheriff's Office says Kang and the victim, another young man around the same age as Kang, had never met in real life, but they both played ArcheAge, a medieval fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Deputies say Kang attacked the victim early Sunday morning at his Fernandina Beach home. The victim and his stepfather were able to restrain Kang until police arrived.
