So about 13,000 players in an online game killed about 1.4 million people over the space of 30 days, even if that 1.4 million was made up of the former 13,000, many times. So on average, during that month, each player killed 1000 enemies. It seems pretty staggering when you take a step back.
Just for context, around 6 million British Servicemen took part in World War II, and over the five years of the European conflict, 1939-45, 3.3 million German troops died in battle. (Source: Infoplease)
No witty quip...Real war is not something to be made light of, but I do like to think a society where Planetside can exist is probably a healthier one than one in which actual continental warfare does...
