So uhhh, how screwed is Mythic? Also if you snoop around to the Warhammer board its even more terrible. There are stories of families running out of food for their kids (30 X (14.99 + overdrafts)) Easily over $1,000

Banks will usually refund any overdraft charges if it's not the fault of the account holder. The problem with that, though, is it's red-tape, customer service hell getting them to finally do so...Because you have to get Mystic to admit fault and then wait for their financial dept. to follow up on it.

 

I feel really bad for those who play their account balances close to the chest. I know I've floated a check or two in the past while waiting for my paycheck to clear--it's just stuff you do to get along. I hope people get refunded and get some sort of compensation.

 

For me? I'd personally never play that game again. Sure it's a tiny bug that might never happen again, but I wouldn't want to take the chance.

Whats worse is Mythic knows about it but the charges keep happening, this also includes PREVIOUSLY CANCELED ACCOUNTS. My friend is now -$675 and some cents waiting the 1 to 2 days for his bank to sort this out.

Assuming he used a credit card and not his debit card, he could look into filing a chargeback. Unfortunately, that'd take a bit of time too.

Debt card, they fixed it for him, but a lot of the kids he played with will have to wait over the weekend

Yeah Mythic is [bleep]ed.

That's why you always get rid of the Credit Card information after you leave a game.

If Mythic survive this, I'll be impressed.

tsk, that's a shame. Warhammer online looked pretty good. I'll miss Mythic.

 

Sucks for the customers, too. gotta feel bad for them for all that financial crap in times like these...

Holy [cabbage] D: that's scary stuff. They're going to lose a lot of players over this, I'm sure

It wasn't.

The worst part is that this is the same EA pay system that glitched last year, making it possible for people to digitally download a specific combination of three games absolutely free (all they had to do was create an account)

But yeah, final nail in mythic's coffin

This. Good luck to them surviving after this hit. :shock:

Woah, that is insane! This one picture and is this one showing the charges is just crazy. I'm glad that there are people there who are telling them to do the paperwork that is necessary. I can't believe a company would let such a thing happen to be honest.

 

I find it very scary that they are charging accounts that are suppose to be banned/closed. What the hell?

 

This is why I am a fan of using a prepaid credit card for games that require monthly memberships. If you have money to play the game, then play. But if you don't, just wait or something.

 

Since this is a RuneScape forum afterall; imagine if this happen to Jagex Ltd.?

Whats Mythic? The creators of the game I'm assuming? And how much is a monthly fee to begin with?
