Anything in game you DO NOT own them. You agreed to this once you accepted the EULA. So, you are just...wrong.


yes but they still require to give u a 30days notice period of a removal of item/items if money has been paid for them if the player has breached the eula and tos then they can be removed without notice but if a player hasent broken them then they cannot just simply remove it the day they announce a change in the eula they must give players time to remove there items from such sites or refund it back to the players account rember they are not just punishing the guys who did breach the eula they are punishing alot of eve players who had nothing to do with the rmt how is that a fair and legal punishment plenty of court cases where devolpers have done this and lost in court of law


Yeah, no. But hey, if you think you have a case, hire a lawyer and take them to court. Don't just whine about it - if you truly think your legal rights have been violated, then take action.

We'll wait.

have you actually read the game EULA in full?
i usually dont bother but with a game like eve its definitely a good idea.
essentially it says they can take the leg you were standing on
and beat you about the head with it , pretty much at their discretion.

how you might ask? because we all agreed to it and by virtue of being here you have too.

Yes and no. ;) As long as some verbalizations are against applicable law, you can ignore them (which is NOT the case to be honest).

But as you said. He didn't pay for his items or isk. He paid money for his subscription only.

(shame to agree with a goon. ;) )

Except none of it was yours, try reading the EULA; especially the bit where CCP says that they own all of the things that are ingame, including your character and any items associated with it.

Quote:

If you had the isk on deposit at IWI it was associated with and in the possession of IWI, not you. It is quite common in the real world for the assets in the possession of a "criminal" organisation to be confiscated by the "authorities" without notice or recourse.

You're welcome to consult a solicitor and try to take CCP to court over it; I'm sure your local magistrate will have a good giggle at your expense.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Is there any official word on how this is going to effect fan sites that run contests and giveaways? I was trying to get some clarification from CCP in the ticket system however I keep getting a copy-paste response to read the dev blog. Helpful ...

So, thought to ask here.

I apologize if this has been asked but will this apply to ISK sports betting? It's not a game of chance. In fact, ISK gambling on sports has made me better at fantasy sports because there's value associated with my bets, and I tend to care more about it.

What gambling I could have done with real money has been moved to New Eden where I'm more betting my pride and half an hour of ratting.

If this constitutes transferring ISK or assets to a third party for games of chance, then me becoming a bookie for NFL and MLB games is also a violation of the EULA?

I like the way you phrased that! Big smile

And of course you're correct - they will treat it as a game of chance because it is a game of chance. (Unless you have some way of fixing the results.)

Obviously only CCP can answer officially but I can't see them having a problem with giveaways and the like. CCP will be unlikely to give a direct response to it because saying "giveaways are OK" would get people running gambling sites as "giveaways" but in essence if you aren't turning it into gambling it wouldn't break the spirit of the rule. If however everyone had to pay in to be part of the giveway, that would become an issue.

It is really though, which is why in the real world it also gets regulated. From the perspective of a gambler it is somewhat down to chance. Just because it's not solely down to chance and doesn't make it fine to do.

If it is a random giveaway I don't see the problem. So long you don't have any sort of rake, fee, tickets, etc. that entail people giving you ISK, then it should be fine because it is not a game of chance since there is no wager.

As for betting ISK on sporrting events, yes, it is still gambling/game of chance. While the probabilities are subjective they are still valid probabilities and so forth. It is no different than horse racing, dog racing and the like.

Well, you do know about the wedding ceremony for Canada's Royal Family right....butterscotch pudding, pulling off the brides arm, the groom sticking the arm up his....anyhow, Ralph is quite right. Reading the entire EULA and ToS is not a bad idea.

For example, these fun filled parts,

Quote:
B. Rights to Certain Content

You have no interest in the value of your time spent playing the Game, for example, by the building up of the experience level of your character and the items your character accumulates during your time playing the Game. Your Account, and all attributes of your Account, including all corporations, actions, groups, titles and characters, and all objects, currency and items acquired, developed or delivered by or to characters as a result of play through your Accounts, are the sole and exclusive property of CCP, including any and all copyrights and intellectual property rights in or to any and all of the same, all of which are hereby expressly reserved.

[snip]

C. User Content

The System may allow you to communicate information, such as by posting messages in chat rooms, on bulletin boards and other user-to-user areas (collectively, "User Content").

User Content that you cause to be communicated to the System may not (i) violate any statute, rule, regulation or law; (ii) infringe or violate the intellectual property, proprietary, privacy or publicity rights of any third party; (iii) be defamatory, indecent, obscene, child pornographic or harmful to minors; or (iv) contain any viruses, Trojan horses, disabling code, worms, time bombs, "clear GIFs," cancelbots or other computer programming or routines that are intended to, or which in fact, damage, detrimentally interfere with, monitor, intercept or expropriate any data, information, packets or personal information.

CCP may take any action it deems appropriate regarding any User Content, if CCP believes, in its sole discretion, that such User Content violates the EULA or may expose CCP, its licensors and/or its suppliers to liability, damage CCP's relationship with any of its suppliers, licensors, ISPs or other users of EVE, harm anyone or harm CCP's reputation or goodwill.
--emphasis added


Basically, what this says is that you don't own your Stuff™ in game. Which most of us knew. The last paragraph really means CCP did not have to update their EULA to do this if they really did feel that gambling sites violated this section. In fact, CCP could have just issued permabans to everyone running a gambling site and they'd be well within their rights as laid out by the EULA that we all have agreed too. If anything, CCPs current approach is less extreme.

I swear to god its like they're fumbling around looking for better ways to lower the player base.
