Mythic Billing Explodes: Some Players Charged $500!

Computers are great, and are becoming more integrated into our lives with every passing day. Nowadays you can use a cell phone to do more than just talk to your friend in Thailand with your unlimited long distance and roaming plan. Now a phone can be used to play video games, update your Facebook pages, check your Pizza Hut order, send a picture, record a movie, and even cash a check! Luckily for us, the brilliant minds who invented computers did so in a way that computers act fairly bluntly, subtlety not being one of their strong traits. Don’t believe me? Just look at the Terminator movies and tell me they would be mistakable for human beings!

So when the Mythic database attempts to fund its upcoming attempt to take over the world and enslave humanity, it could have chosen a much less obvious route than charging members of Warhammer Online and Dark Age of Camelot (but not Asheron’s Call apparently. That’s cold.) up to five hundred dollars in monthly-fee increments.

Mythic is in the process of reimbursing players for the erroneous charges, and no doubt melting the server database in molten steel. You can read the full Herald announcement here, which includes contact details if the charges do not stop, or your bank does not reimburse any overdraft fees.

More on Judgement Day as it appears.
