By reading this statement you agree to give Michael Burge $20, and submit to all further terms. Refusing to pay will result in a fine of $500 and penalty of purjury. Michael Burge is further immune to any lawsuits or complaints, and writing any opinions he may disagree with gives him the right to your family's property. "Family" in this context is defined by blood to be anyone up to and including a distance of 5 from you in a family genealogical tree.
See how I can write whatever I like and it's not enforceable? You want me to click-wrap this into an interstitial advertisement sold on some popular website, and record IP addresses of anyone who clicks "OK"? How far do you think that would go, even though people were explicitly agreeing to this?
Im actually in law school in sweden and all i can say it that if anyone would try any lawsuits against S2 you would be ending up crying.
he already edited, and i bet somewhere in that tos there is line saying something about service might be unavailable for xxx hours every day/week/month/year and that totally scraps all downtimes all together
well it would be silly if its not there, not that i ever read tos, i just know most online game companies have that
just in case server goes down, they can always point fingers to that line, that you agreed that game might be unavailable at some points for periods of time
i know there is that line in wow tos
Don't they technically sell us the ACCOUNT we are using to play the game? Not the actual game? I'm unsure if that would make a difference but I still don't see how S2 can be made accountable when it's a one-time payment of 30 dollars (sometimes less) and the downtimes are due to attacks(DDoS)/accidents(database corruption) and they are working to fix it... If we paid a subscription fee and they didn't compensate... Sure... But we don't :/
EDIT: @Chicano Plethora of downtimes? All I can recall are the DDoS downtime, with the game being available at least half the time while that was taking place (a bit spotty but it showed S2 was working hard on it) and the current one. I've been around since closed mid-late closed beta, though admittedly I sometimes go weeks without playing HoN so I could have missed something.

1. Create an awesome game like HoN
2. Sell accounts for 30$
3. Write in the ToS the followings, besides other crap: "This account will be terminated in 1 year. Warning ! This account is not forever, you can use it for a limited time only, that is 1 year."
4. Sell a lot of accounts.
5. Close all the accounts a year later.
6. Make a lot of money, don't get sued, close the company, start a new one.
7. Go back to 1.
Now seriously S2, when are you going to fix this ? I payed for this account to do something with it -> TO PLAY !!!
Stop crying about 30$ u spent 2 years ago... Go work
