Boy commits suicide after he posted on a online game fansite forum.

A boy aged 14 from Bunnik (some town in The Netherlands) comitted suicide. He left a message on a forum beforehand, in which he said his goodbyes.

Problems
The boy posted in English on the forum of a fansite of his favourite online game called RuneScape, that he had a troubled life, at school and at home, and that he had enough of life because of that. His best friend had scammed him on RuneScape, and that was what pushed him over the edge, he said.

Farewell
His school, the USG in Utrecht, has organised a meeting with teachers and students in which they said goodbye. Principal Taat found the news about his death to be unbelievable and almost impossible.

'Maarten felt alone and abondoned, thursday evening (when he comitted suicide)', the prinicpal said. 'He was scammed in a computer game and so he felt betrayed. The game itself was not entirely responsible for this. You can feel betrayed in practically every game or even when playing outside on the street. He was taken by despair and he saw no other way but to commit suicide.'

RuneScape
RuneScape can be played by hundreds (that's an understatement, but that's what the text says ) of people around the world, all at once. Decisions made by players, influence the game for other players. team work is vital in earning points, and thus to grow stronger in the game.
