Mythic's billing system has gone rogue AI. (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?t=16818)
Current and former subscribers to their games are being billed massive amounts seemingly at random, and the problem is still ongoing as Mythic refuses to shut down their billing servers until the problem is resolved.
Some reports have indicated sudden charges of $1500 or more.
If you have ever subscribed to the following games:
- Warhammer Online
- Dark Age of Camelot
- Ultima Online
Please keep a close eye on your accounts at the bare minimum, and make sure that your credit card information is no longer logged with Mythic's account system if you can.
This outright theft is still ongoing, and apparently the only way to be safe from it is if the card they have on file for you no longer works.
Hard to miss the fallout from this over the internets. Many people are, quite rightly, very fucking pissed off. What a huge balls up of a ballsup!
I wonders what GW think.
