[quote name="Griefer Sutherland"][quote name="LINK"]Griefers are so-called because they create grief. Their antics are designed to interrupt proceedings in virtual worlds and games usually for no other reason than because they can.[/quote] Oh, that's what that is called? [quote name="LINK"]Much like email spam, these "griefspawn" attacks can chew up system resources and slowing down performance. They can sometimes even trigger network crashes. In October, griefers launched a self-replicating worm inside Second Life spawning a flood of "grey goo" that eventually caused a complete shutdown, locking out tens of thousands of members. Other documented griefing attacks involved using images of objects that are design to upset and offend, including huge swastikas and, once, a model of the World Trade Centre in flames.[/quote] Reading about Second Life is much worse than reading about WoW.[/quote]
