    Love the response from GM Voodoo. After running it through my GM-speak decoder ring, it says:

    "Well, I don't want to touch this with a 20ft pole, so I'll conveniently 'lose' your petition, then mention it to a senior GM who will take this everloving sweet time to take a look at it, and will then move it to the back of the queue again 'by accident', so maybe perhaps in 2012 you'll get a response from the internal affairs division"

    I'm so glad I quit playing EVE.

    to repliers: it wasnt one of kugutsumen's accounts that got banned, it was dread operative who got gagged by 2 GMs simultaneously and temp banned at the same time and kugutsumen found his post about it.

    Dear International Commision,

    I was banned for a week from my favourite interweb spaceships game. Please sue CCP.

    Thanks,

    To someone in Iceland authorities.

    I subscribed a game from one a company based in Iceland and agreed to a therm of contract.
    Recently the game was found to be rigged and bugged and the named company refuses to either fix the problem or refund the paying costumers.
    This is a international company with several costumers on a international level.

    Yet they have repeatedly not responded to any of my/whatever contacts and even prevented me from accessing their servers, which i pay to have access.

    I would like to press charges on the company X for not fulfilling their contract and would like to have my $$$ back.

    Yours truly,

    Your mama.


    This is an example, you are a PAYING costumer, you agree to a contract which has to be fulfilled by BOTH parts.

    Censorship and this kind of behavior belong to the WWII era, were fascist pricks used to rule before they got kicked.

    There are laws, and everyone is obliged to abide by them.
    You bastard!!!:argh:

    That would work in the USA. Unfortunately Iceland is part of Europe.

    However In Europe another trick may work: If you can prove that CCP encourages people to commit crimes/eCrimes (read: all that metagaming shit) they can been seen as very evil people who base their living on making people's life miserable through illegal means and then you maybe could have a case against CCP. Thanks to bureacracy it would take longer than rolling BoB's self-licking tongues though.

    Prove how?

    And no that other shit wouldn't work in the US either. Read the EULA.

    The only recourse people have in all of this is quit or whine.

    Actually it would work both in US and Europe, i dunno how the organization is called in the US, but in Europe there is a Science and Tech European comitee that can take legal action, along with EU court against these cases.

    In most a quick visit to forums and experience of game in the first person would be enough, adding the contract breaking from CCP and their control methods to at least fine them in hundreds of Euros and in some extend to condemn them to give people's money back, the one's that require it.

    I dunno how its called in the US but it can work the same way as the law is much more flexible, you can allegate that it is unfair to be playing against game devs, as there is no mention to that in the contract and most actions taken against players were in the company best interests not the costumer base.

    Its a matter of reading the law and putting it against what you see happening here.


    The thing is, if enough people complain, both sides of the atlantic authorities will act.
    You bastard!!!:argh:

    Sorry I should have given more creedence to your obvious display of superior in depth knowledge on European Trade Law. Obviously the parallels must be there. Perhaps you could elucidate on the particulars of the case if that doesn't cause any ethical or professional breaches? More importantly, did you win that one such case?

    I just helped the investigation phase, and it was about a series of shops that sold computers but didn't deliver the original cdrom's with it.
    Strangely the owners of the shops felt that they were right, as they just sold hardware and not software, blablabla.

    They got convicted, had to refund everyone that complained for the sum of the softwares in fault and fines for more that half a million euros.

    And this was just in one country, CCP is a company with much more exposure and they are breaking their contract, their EULA does not overcome international law.

    So care to explain why CCP can't get convicted by no one?And make it a credible explanation please.

    I'm pretty sure regulatory authorities/lawyers/people like that have better things to do than appease some 1337 d00dz from EVE who have been h4x3d by CCP.

    That's how they would see it, anyway. So I suggest we start putting away the torches, tar, and feathers, and shotguns, and think of a better way around this kugutsumen censorship.

    The way I see it, the whole T20 thing is water under the bridge at this point. CCP has successfully stonewalled the issue imho.

    I agree, the issue was handled horrribly by CCP, but it's over and done with. I think the best course of action at this point is for the rapetrain to continue pummeling BoD into a pile of interstellar shit.

    As it currently stands, player's rights are still in middleage because every mmo company polices itself (and you know what such things leads to) and you can't really take any legal action against them. If players could take legal actions the service would have been much better, but right now the companies can get away with virtually anything.

    Actually, at best, it is more like a "nonconsensual touching" train now. Soon it will be the "Peeping Tom" train followed by the "pre-puberty" train only to finally become a "trainwreck".

    Here's a better idea: If you don't like the game, cancel your accounts.

    The game isn't "rigged" (seriously, 10 crappy BPOs won't win 0.0), you just suck at playing it (and I'm not in the BoB/MC coalition so don't bring that into it).

    Edit: Also, check that "contract" (i.e. the EULA) and see what CCP actually has to provide for your money.

    Seriously, you should leave your local personal sex crimes off this board and go back to mis-calling the BoD vs. the Universe war. You were better (marginally) at making up Molle's propaganda.

    Warning: crappy analogy coming up.

    I can either slash you in half, head to toe, in one big hit, or keep sticking pins in your body during a year or more.

    The end result is still the same.

    Actually I remember a convo with someone who stated that CCP was sued 225 + times in its second year alone.

    Whether anything ever came of those suit's I dont know as its Sterile Conjecture anyway.

    Anyone know how that other space based MMPORG is going? Infinity Rising or something? I saw it mentioned before on this board but I cant find it. Would be interested in getting into the beta of that as Eve really does suck donkey balls these days.

    Then why the hell do you continue to bitch about a game you have nothing to do with?

    Infinity isn't in "beta" yet. It's still under development, but seeing as how it's an indy game, there's the occasional tech release so you can see the goodies.

    http://www.fl-tw.com/Infinity/ (seems to be down at the moment)

    It seems to be pretty nice, good ships, nice handling (it is twitch-based), they will have planetary landing, and all sorts of stuff. Expected release date is "when it's done", but they seem to be making oodles of progress.

    One of the games I'm keeping my eye on to replace EVE with.

    Actually a Virtual case against a game company like CCP was won and damages were awarded to the player in Japan, The first case of it's kind too.

    You do realise that that makes absolutely 0 difference unless you are bringing the claim in Japan right?

    Actually it is sure to set a Precendent for all future (any country) court case's to refer to, If they really use the Rule of LAW principles (Not a puppet or kangaroo court).

    Just my Opinion.

    I think the devil would be in the details in that case, as I don't know what they were taken to court for, or how the law stands in Japan. the Law in the land of Ice might be diffrant. I think all we can say for sure, that it is early days for such processes as real law vrs virtual content.
