Mythic Sued Over Blocking Auctions of Game Tokens
Lukenary writes: "Mythic Entertainment, creator of the excellent MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot, is being sued by BlackSnow Interactive, owner and maintainer of CamelotExchange - an online auction site for the exchange of in-game items, money, and characters/accounts. This could be a landmark case: if you spend (typically) weeks of playing time to garner 1,000 gold in-game, do you have the right to auction off that gold for real money? Mythic has not yet had an official response to the suit, but you can read BSI's press release at the CamelotExchange site above. Personally, I find it interesting that BSI is going after DAoC, calling Mythic a "software giant," while ignoring the more established compettion in EverQuest producer Sony, Asheron's Call producer Microsoft, and Ultima Online producer Electronic Arts. Mythic's only product at this time is Dark Age of Camelot, which was released last October."
Wow. #props to all dead homiez
I'm auctioning off all my karma points on ebay!
Think as AC, I'm down to -1000 or somewhere around
there. Bid for all my points! You could have absolutely
no karma like me!
Your Mama has to have a credit card.
I read your rant, and it seems that you were just unfamiliar with string comparison syntax in java. (Replies in your blog show you how to do it.)
Being unfamiliar with a language is hardly a reason to deem it "sucky."
python -c "x='python -c %sx=%s; print x%%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))%s'; print x%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))"
Why do you feel you have the inherent human right/absolute overriding medical need to use and copy Office all over the place, despite what you may have agreed to?
Yeah, the MS EULA blows ass, but there are other office suites out there that you can use without those obnoxious restrictions.
Please, may I stick my cock up your ass while you shit diarrhea?

Suck on my big, flappy MAN BOOBS.
Thank you.
it is because the moderators are on CRACK! you should have posted your second comment as AC, you will get modded down for being offtopic.
I spent my karma on crack for moderators. Now I can only post AC... Please help.
Children are given far too much freedom in this country. A child wonders onto the interstate and ends up smeared down the road for a halfmile by your car? Its your fault. A child walks into your yard, picks up a rock and bashes himself in the head until he dies? Your fault. You have to remember, every citizen in the U.S. is supposed to be a parent. They're supposed to raise everyone elses' kids. Maybe they don't have to abide by the TOS, but I'd tell them that either they can not play if they're under 18, or that if they choose to play they have to follow the TOS. If courts have a problem with it, screw them. It was the kids choice to play the game, despite what the TOS said. The kid should be held fully responsible. Another thing is that say someone gets their lv60 deleted for cheating/selling it/whatever, they should NOT be allowed any legal recourse other than to start all over again. I know it will probably lead to Mythic being sued into bankruptcy when BIGDICK13M loses his level 60 character that he spent 12 hours a day for 6 months to make.
Job? I don't have time to get a job! Who will sit around and bitch about being broke and unemployed then?
What about this pencil?
