^^^ Read what suo said. That means TB is probably safe.

jeez, they panted the idea not any of the games, so ANY game thats a mmo is now copyright infringe ment

this is just shameless.
i can't fucking believe it.
"no, it really is ours, we invented it years before we made the game."

holy bleep.............................

here's a draft from what i'm emailing them:

your company put a patent on avatars seeing and interacting with eachother in virtual space?

dude... that's just wrong.

for just a few resons.

1. second life has already outdone you.
2. if noone else can make games, all we'll have is your crappy socialising chat-with-people game that second life has already outdone.
3. you're closing down companies that would otherwise be making good games.
and 4.the world will be alittle more pissed off in general at current events.

hope to see the patent withdrawn soon

-please do not reply to this email.

very good............

sent! \o/

Neved you just made your signature seem comletely useless.

Although its a good point. They will not be making any friends by doing this.
Everything seems to be revolving around money.

yes i did didn't i?

but i also said "learn from your mistakes"
and this was a very big mistake for them >:|

yeah if they touch blizzard they will kill them, they pull in like 700mil a month on Wow and if i was doing some thing like that i would NOT let anyone take it away.....
