The above is a screenshot of the Mortal Online terms of service. You’ll notice that failure to abide by the rules presented in the terms of service (not pictured) will not entitle you to a refund for any fees paid for the use of the Eve Online client, servers, or website, and you will forfeit any unused game time. I sincerely hope Star Vault didn’t pay a lawyer to draft up their terms of service, because it appears to be ripped directly, with a little rearranging, of the Eve Online terms of service.
The Eve Online terms of service can be found here, and the Mortal Online PDF here. Since this has apparently been in the game since launch, does this mean anyone banned from Mortal Online for breaking the rules can fight that they were not punished properly according to the terms of service?
Star Vault has updated their terms of service to ban players from the correct game, and no doubt myself from any future press releases.

Get a xlife you fuckstick.. who cares.
Judging by massively picking up this story and several other sites, quite a few. I understand you must be butthurt over your favourite company making such obvious mistake, but it just shows how much of lazy and amateurish bums they really are.
LOL- Just another incident in a LONG list of unprofessional, shady and underhanded tactics by SV.
Also note that SV censored all posts which talked about this on their official forum.
Good job you are doing “leading” this company Henrik- If you cannot proof read a TOS, whats the code look like? I am sure its all Epic’s fault.
PRICELESS!!!!
Fail company is fail!!!
this isnt ilegal just laziness, also the tos isnt any form of abiding contract and can be changed at any time, its common practise to copy someone elses tos but it does show how lazy the developers are.
I like to do non-serious articles every now and then, and poking a little fun at Star Vault was on the menu today. I think some of the websites reporting this story are taking it a bit more seriously than I intended it to be. It is technically plagiarism, but as stated it happens all the time with TOS contracts, and it is really a non-issue.
I posted this because I thought it was worth a chuckle. The whole thing is meant to be tongue in cheek, and the unintended benefit being Star Vault corrected the error.
Looks like the poor lads tried to ninja-edit the TOS and replace EVE with Mortal. The problem is that they never changed the date on the document so it still shows July 2010. Now… I think that just MIGHT be even worse.
-This is just one example of an utterly FAILED game. Cannot believe people still support this company (the 50 who are left anyhow)
Wow. I find it very sad that someone actually reads that legal crappy stuff.
Since I play MMO’s (10 years roughly) I never had to follow legally a complaint.
They copied that TOS, big deal. Almost all those documents are the same. What guarantees you that CCG (EVE) did’t copied their TOS from another company?
Is like saying : ” Look that game company written <>, copying it after another company” Lol
You are missing the punchline dude. They didn’t even copy it right. They left EVE in as the game being described. Just read the title of the article. I think that sums it up nicely!!
grats SV, you irresponsible joke
An answer from an expert! Thanks for conitrbuting.
@Radu Ungureanu, I find it more sad thay you think that Terms of Service documents are for you to NOT read. Copying may not be a big deal but not proof reading it IS.
MO is the “red headed step child” of the MMO world.
-But damn its entertaining (the train wreck- Not the “game”)
I remember the days when Darkfall was launching, in its buggy and unplayable state and how everyone and their uncle praised and worshipped the MO devs saying they will do better and kick Aventurine’s ass.
Here we are a few years later, Darkfall devs have shown that they know how to make and run a game where as MO devs are winning the 2011 Obscurity contest.
