Default Garriott sues NCSOFT

Stumbled across this today.

Richard Garriott blasts NCsoft with $24 million lawsuit - Massively

Interesting turn of events.

I remember when the open letter to the fans from Garriott came out. The general consensus around Tabula Rasa was that he sold out and was jumping from a sinking ship.

Sounds like the plot line from a crappy american drama.

"Considering NCsoft is already in a pretty nasty place with the current Worlds.com lawsuit going on, dealing with a series of layoffs and slipping profits, this new action against them by Garriott doesn't bode well. "

Anyone heard of the expression 'blood from a stone'? Good luck getting $24 Million, I would be surprised if they had that much.

Hey Piemole

PlanetTR is enjoying this news. My jaw dropped when I read the article and saw the court papers on the lawsuit. He should sue them for more but I'm I'm sure he just wants to keep it conservative. Let's see what the boat brings.

He can have my Tabula credits

What's the moral of this story? Don't leave your sheep guarded by wolves. He should have delayed his Space trip and mind the store.

Mate if someone came to me and said "hey you wanna go into space with us?" I think I would drop everything and say "yeah ok"

BTW he can have my credits too, it seems we will have quite the fortune for him in a few weeks, maybe he will leave NCSoft alone

wow... if that article is true and NCSoft did that, then they definitely should be sued, and maybe Richard will get the TR IP back along with the servers and code.

Worst case scenario, it'll still make a decent frisbee.
