World of Warcraft Lawsuit Moving Forward

The class-action lawsuit against IGE is moving ahead, slowly but surely. That lawsuit, filed on behalf of all World of Warcraft players, alleges that IGE (by gold farming, spamming, etc.) has prevented players from receiving the full benefits they are entitled to as third-party beneficiaries of Blizzard's Terms of USE and End User License Agreement.

On January 3, 2008, IGE filed an answer, denying all of the allegations in the plaintiffs' complaint. As well, on January 22, 2008, the plaintiffs issued discovery requests to IGE, seeking attachments to a purchase agreement through which many of IGE's assets were sold to Jonathan Yantis.

IGE has 30 days to respond to the request.
