Worlds.com To Extend Virtual World Lawsuit To Second Life, WoW

Posted by Soulskill on from the one-percent-inspiration-ninety-nine-percent-litgation dept.

FiveRings writes "BusinessInsider has a story about Worlds.com, a company that inherited the patent on virtual worlds from the Starlight Starbright Foundation and is taking it to court against NCSoft over the company's various MMOs. If successful, he will press on and sue the makers of Second Life and World of Warcraft as well. The article notes that the NCSoft case is being held in east Texas, which has been a favorable venue for patent trolls in the past."

    Mutilate is still the best dagger spec (IMO). After levelling to 50 as subtlety I can't imagine going back to being so horribly combo-point poor.

    That said I'm a prot warr by nature, just levelling a rogue because my warrior (who was rolled just after the first expansion purely to be a PvP character) got so thorougly screwed by Blizz that I need a new PvP character. :/
