From a news story I wrote today at The Escapist:
A bit of online, in-game sex has resulted in the rapid unemployment of one Funcom employee.
An unnamed Game Master for Funcom’s Age of Conan has been caught by an in-game passerby having internet nookie with another player.
After player who claimed to be a real-life female summoned a male Game Master, they traveled to a remote location in the world and began to describe innuendo-laden sexual acts. The resulting banter may be the most scandalous game-related sex act since San Andreas’s “Hot Coffee.”
…
Candy: You’re just as kinky as me
Candy: Infact you’re so kinky, you just cybered with a dude
Candy shouts: THIS IS SPARTA
|GM|: then when you are really hot and needing more I can reposition and slide my wet tongue up your face and do small circles again around your belly button and then let my tongue trail down your chin.
|GM|: oh that would really be not good lol
Candy: Love you =]
Candy: By the way, I’ve been fapping to this the whole time.
|GM|: lol why did you want this then lol you gay?
|GM|: are you serious?
Candy: Serious about what?
|GM|: um what’s fapping (not up to par on the ling) lol
Candy: I was joking about the fapping, but I am indeed a dude.
|GM|: lol ok.
|GM|: Glad I put my clothes back on lol
Candy: Yeah probably a good idea. I have aids.

This is both a terrible loss and startlingly humourous. But really? Fired for cybering? Serious stuff.
What’s weird is that I never thought about doing this in WoW. A lot of my problems would’ve been solved with GMs if I just would’ve played some horizontal lacrosse.
I can understand why they fired the person. The reputation burn that will result from that employee is unnacceptable for the company.
Though I’m sure plenty of people will get the idea and imitate the act. Watch out while in cyberspace for a little while, things may be kinky.
Hey! I read this article when I got linked to it from LUE earlier today. Man, I never thought to look at the author.
Major lulz, though. That barbarian was a total playa.
Best. Thing. E v E r.
