I'm really hoping here that Blizzard/Activision, SOE, EA and some of the other big MMO companies ride in with their lawyers and back NCSoft now before it's too late, as mentioned above, if this case goes through due to NCSoft being "weak" at the moment, it could have far more expensive and negative ramifications for all other MMO developers in the future.

The kind of knock-on effect this would have on independant or small developers could stop development of smaller more innovative games altogether, and encourage only the creation of games that are a "sure thing"

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if any game that goes into development has to hand over handfulls of cash to worlds.com before they even get started, that has to have some kind of effect...
