LMFAO most likely its a bunch of ppl angry about ffxiv coming out and losing all the time and money spent here, so they sue for bs reasons to get money and then play ffxiv. and hot coffee is so 2004.
Few things, again from a person with a long history of MMO development and CS policies:
1) Yes, it's true that the Terms of Service agreement specified no prorated reimbursed for the month in which you get banned, and yes you do agree to that. Yes, this is legal, as long as they don't continue to charge you for the months after your ban. 2) This doesn't make it binding. Contracts are not absolute, and if you have a good enough lawyer, you can argue that the contract itself is illegally worded, meaning your implicit agreement meant nothing. Terms of Service agreements have been challenged and overturned in court before, although very rarely, and not on this point. 3) This lawsuit is nothing new, and actually quite yawn-inducing. Banned players have tried this exact lawsuit, nearly verbatim, in early MUDs, in Ultima Online, Everquest, Asheron's Call, Everquest II, Anarchy Online, World of Warcraft... etc. Every single time, it's been thrown out of court without a hearing. No federal or state judge has ever bought the notion that these were innocent victims of predatory contracts.

I kind of can. lmao it would be horrible!! xD Well, just wait til NQ Scorpion Harnesses are like 17 million gil again lol Thunderz said: Why sue for 5mil? just ask for your money back I mean....do you deserve 5mil? I hate civil suits people can go ???? themselves with their greed LOL... it's not about rewarding the plaintiff. It's about punishing the defendant so they don't continue doing the same thing to others. They won't even take you seriously unless you really scare them. This isn't about greed. You don't know what it cost this person. Imagine if they billed her credit card unexpectedly and didn't pay the minimum amount. This can cause HUGE long term consequences. |
