In 2007, two boys attempted to rob another boy of his valuable RuneScape items. The two boys had grown extremely jealous of his RuneScape wealth and wanted it for themselves. Today we discuss what happened to everyone involved in this story, and how RuneScape changed Dutch law forever.

Yeah, I just commented this above in the same vein Why does this all center around defining theft? It doesn't matter; if you forget RuneScape entirely, this was still a brutal assault. I'd still think that would be several months in juvi for kids or a felony count of 1-5yrs for an adult. The theft just makes it worse, that's not even the main crime. Community service??? I'm not saying try them as adults but come on, no time served is insane for an adult or child

While I'm not sure how dutch law works, I know that In the us there is a difference between federal and civil cases and how they are tried.

The assault was pretty open and shut. Let's not imply that they cared more about the theft than the assault because we're trying to be clever on the internet.

@superleipoman 11 ай бұрын

To clarify: the undecided part of the legal analysis was the theft. That these boys were in a lot of trouble for assaulting someone was clear. The issue is whether or not it was assault to further another crime, namely theft, which leads to an increased penalty as it is what is called a qualified crime. Much like rape has qualifications: rape without violence, with violence, or involving murder. The worse the qualification gets the higher the maximum penalty under the law. When people study high court cases or learn about them, they should realise that the High Courts will only consider the part of the case that is relevant to the appeal. No one was ever for a second under the illussion that assault isn't a serious crime.

Not teaching your child to own up and grow from mistakes is absolutely bad parenting.

Thank you! I wondered the same thing. I can't confirm if its true, but I came across a comment that explained why while I was researching: "“Because the charge was theft accompanied by assault and threats. If you can't prove the theft you can't prove the charge, since plain assault or plain threatening weren't charged separately. Meaning no conviction. You can't (easily) change a charge during the trial. Also, the original charge would have netted a higher punishment.”"

We had kids threatening each other for rs stuff back in 2005 at my school. But the worst thing that happened to me was when I went to my friends house to help me with dragon slayer. He had played the game much longer than I had at that point and I wasn’t too good at English, so he helped me with the quest. He told me to bring my best gear and as the fight with Elvarg started he just closed the browser. He didn’t even steal my stuff, he just wanted me to lose it. I lost a rune legs, adamant plate, rune full helm, which isn’t much, but imagine that back in those days, how much time I spent, what little information and especially what little information I was able to actually take part of.

I'm hearing... assault, attempted murder, assault with the intent to murder, premeditated assault with the intent to commit murder and identity theft. (1. Discussed 'taking' the 'items' in question, and following through with it. 2. Kicking the boy, punching him. 3. Pulling the chair he was using to play on his password locked account out from under him and using his private account, linked with his private EMail, which most likely had his private information on it (Ie. Passwords, recovery information, payment information, address, shipping information etc.) without his written, and or verbal consent. Its the slammer for the kids, and a thorough investigation into the parent's conduct which led to this point, with potential CPS involvement.

How the hell do they act like nothing happened when he was beat and threatened to be killed for items? In the states that would be pretty serious, at least I think.

I mean, you now look there is a digital item worth a value now in Bitcoin, so the courts were definitely on to something

@JoshDoubleU 11 ай бұрын

'nobody has ever been prosicuted for theft of a digital item before' like they didnt force him into a house, beat him up and threaten him with a knife? i think thats what the court was more interested in.

Ah the wrench vulnerability. You keep your digital assets secure as possible until someone keeps hitting you with a wrench

The real question is, who’s funding these appeals?? To take a case to a Supreme Court takes a lot of time, money, and effort. Why is it being appealed to the highest court over 160 hours of community service?

Imagine being concerned by the theft charge, when they kidnapped and assaulted the kid.

Community service for assault and theft? That’s messed up.

@ColonelloRS 11 ай бұрын

In most other countries they probably would’ve gotten much bigger sentences. The Netherlands is notorious for light punishment.

160 hours, he could have a thieving cape in the game with that amount of time 😆

Child abduction, threats with a deadly weapon, physical assault, nbd… take my osrs bank call the lawyer

@GoldenBeans 5 ай бұрын

isnt the more concerning thing the fact these 2 boys physicaly harmed the kid, ignoring the theft aspect assualting someone regardless of age is still a serious crime

@andrejtoplak4646 11 ай бұрын

The thing i dont understand is why is theft the focus of the trial over beating him and threathening him with a knife??

@muskoxthe 6 ай бұрын

Im surprised that the kidnapping and assault was not argued as they are 100% much more serious crimes. However, i assume they couldnt prove either of those things happened outside of the original statement.
