Several of the top HC ladder chars on USEast have mysteriously died today, some even when their players were not even logged in. I personally witnessed two of them first have their names go lower case on the ladder and then go dark. Only 3 of the top 10 remain alive, from what the people in the hardcore channel tell me, 4 of those with lower case names, including the top 2 characters, were all mysteriously killed off tonight.
And just now, as I am composing this message, another character has died, although the name did not go lower case. Several people in the channel have been keeping up a /where lookout for the top players (in order to try to catch whoever), and the player whose character just died was never logged in.
That makes 5 of the top 10 killed off tonight under mysterious circumstances.
