So when can we expect your next butthurt threadnaught?

Or did you actually tell the truth last time, and finally quit the game forever?

Yeah I quit. Unsubbed all accounts. Won't be resubbing unless CCP scrapes the crap out of its themeparked sandbox.

I really loved the part in your mmo.com forum post where Malcanis came and called you out for lying through your teeth. That made my day.

Awesome.

- continues crying that he can't destroy infrastructure without fighting the owners ("but i want to! therefore i'm entitled to" )

- complains eve is "themeparked"

In before ISD.

There are a few routes people can to sue a games company.

I could likely sue CCP for breach of contract, and have been looking into it n regards to recovering money I paid them in return for services they promised and did not provide.

The general idea is that every transaction is a contract. If you pay some money to somebody for something you have created a contract, the terms of contract if not specified will be what a reasonable person expects to be promised in exchange for their valuable contribution, this is so even if no specific contract is in existence - refer to Donaghue v Stevenson 1932 regarding the snail in the bottle of gingerbeer.

When a specific contract exists that contract spells out the requirements of what is promised and while a company can try to indemnify itself with clauses those clauses often have no effect on the contract if they fall outside what can be reasonably be expected to be provided.

A company can say "you agree to indemnify XXX Pty Ltd for any damages caused even if those damages are a result of negligence of XXX Pty Ltd" however that clause is in most places invalidated by statute and case law. Its only put into the contract to dissuade people from taking action or to cover XXX Pty Ltd in the limited circumstances where the clause is valid in limited areas.

Regarding Virtual Property Law, there have been some judgements made which have found virtual property to not be the sole property of the company which 'owns' them.

The main thing that stops people from suing I think is more related to the value of the property vs the cost of persuing legal action against the companies in question.

In CCP's case, I think the big issue is going to be that certain entities in game now hold vast amounts of virtual property, some properly in the area of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars given the conversion rate of isk to plex. In light of that it may become worthwhile and cost effective for someone to eventually sue CCP for damages in respect of losses.

Oh god... What the hell is IZ flooding the forums with his tears about this time >.>

Never mind I found it :D



So much fail in this post... What the hell are you talking about? You weren't banned, You choose not to use the service anymore... Please explain to me on what leg you have to stand on here. I would love to hear this.

Don't give up your day job, internet lawyering is not your thing.

You not understanding basic legal principles doesn't make me wrong. Everyone should have this basic understanding of contracts. Doesn't require being a lawyer.

Oh hello,

I thought you were gone forever.

Hopefully one will man up and take care of the trash... unlikely though

Wow, so IZ unsubbed. Big whoop. Doesn't mean she isn't still playing. Just means she canceled her subscription. You can still pay and play with PLEX. Until I see a screen shot showing that she biomassed, it means nothing.

To keep Eve-Online from being branded a "Bad sort of game because of harassment." I propose that the following takes place.....

Yes, alt spamming is reportable.

We know the real reason you allow scamming is because it costs you too much to police it. It might save you some money but it makes also makes your game look like ****. Would you really say scamming people is a feature in EVE?

Why don't you have "the scammer" listed on your profession chart, since its supposed to be part of the game, right? The only skill you need is margin trading.

Such a joke.

Scamming is part of the game because this game punishes the stupid when they do stupid things. But in-game scamming is not the topic and it is not real life harrassment.
