    Default NCsoft sued by 64-year-old woman over $28,000 sword

    What would you do if you tried to enchant a rare in-game item worth $28,000 and it broke? One 64-year-old Lineage player sued NCsoft earlier this year. After unsuccessfully petitioning to have her rare Jin Myung Hwang's Conduct Sword restored by claiming her failed enchantment attempt (which destroys the item in Lineage) was accidental, the South Korean player sued NCsoft. The extremely rare sword could sell for $28,000.

    Unfortunately, the plaintiff's game log showed that she bought special items to improve her odds at enchanting and she continued to enchant other items even after the destruction of the rare sword. The court's ruling was not in the player's favor, noting that even if it was a mistake, NCsoft was not required to restore the item.

    actually, i tend to think people are crazy to pay for anything in an mmo (even subs). everything in it is ephemeral.

    What...

    So you're saying back in early times of RO, god forbid a thanatos card dropped. I could sue Gravity for me enchanting and breaking my blade[4] that just happened to have the thanatos card on it.

    I do want the article and if this was true.

    Lol... well, can't say I'm surprised that the court didn't decide in the players favor.

    That feel when she clicked the enchant button and it broke.

    I remember when I broke some +9 stuff in RO. I can't even imagine feels that gives you broken item worth $28,000.

    YOU'VE COME TO TAKE CONTROL
