This is fun... someone is putting together a class-action lawsuit vs. SE for deceitful practices with billing for FFXI... I didn't know there was a penalty for late payments, or interest if you don't pay on time... is this true?
The very least, their practice for charging for a full calendar month even if you only reactivate for a few days is incredibly shady.
Still... this is a class-action lawsuit, so that means everyone is involved no matter what. If anything comes out of this, you'd have to opt-out to not be included. Also, includes all subscribers since 2005, so... even banned players are entitled to join in xD The courtwork paperwork is asking for a jury trial, so it should be at the very least, entertaining.
So... let's see... asking SE to cough over $5M... which is about 1 month worth of subscriptions. Assume a settlement for half that, lawyers take half, so... maybe $10 per customer... I wonder if SE could use this as an excuse to kill off FFXI... as in, if you take the settlement (which you do by default since it's a class-action), they automatically cancel your account?
