I feel bad for these people and sorta to mythic because of what happen.

Friend got his with this. 13 times yesterday and again today. Apparently this has happened before with Mythic.

[Rysa]

Wow....

I'm glad I don't play WAR or DAoC. I feel bad for the people that ended up overdrawn and tried to buy groceries/gas before they knew about it.

C'mon now, if they're playing WAR or DAoC at this point, they don't need gas or groceries, all they have to do is walk upstairs and get food from their mom's fridge.

a few of the better responses from one of the threads

I'm a working class guy, with a family and I was going to go grocery shopping today only to find I have a 2 dollar balance because of them. They have literally taken food out of my family's mouth.

I can't believe this isn't fixed - I just got charged 11 more times and now I'm over drafted. I'm still at work and am almost on Empty gas wise. I don't know how I'll be paying to get home at this point in time.

@ canceled accounts getting charged.

[Korietsu]

Someone needs to start a lawsuit over this shit.

You could still have been affected too

I checked and I haven't been affected by it.

I'm waiting for the major gaming outlets to catch wind of this. I want this shit-storm to fully take off and engulf and consume everything.

You don't hear about shit like this everyday. Lets not sweep it under the rug all nice and convenient-like.

[Syntex]

Well shit.

This is almost like someone is going to prison for this.

I am never buying another mythic game as long as I live now.

hahahahaha

Working at a financial institution makes this even funnier. I wish I could see the teller's face when that guy comes in and says "Hey can you reverse this 1.7 million OD fee"

Just so you guys know the -8888888 isn't actually an overdraft.

It's a code BoA puts on the account when it's on lockdown. Basically so tellers/personal bankers know they can't touch it and that the person needs to talk to a manager or someone higher up.


[edit] and thanks for the thread, friend told me about it yesterday, but I forgot to check my accounts. Luckily I wasn't hit.

Absolutely hilarious, on the Square-Enix side of things. We all know they double charge on purpose. Try to get the charge removed and you'll be on hold for 24 hours, try to chargeback and you'll enjoy a sweet LM-17.

[Eanae]

SE LM-17's even approved charge backs. But I think this still takes the cake. Simply amazing lol.

[Gwynplaine]

This is highly unlikely to ever happen, but makes me feel glad I use giftcards for online gaming.

[Kerberoz]

Use credit, not debit, and you'll be fine for these things.

[Draylo]

That LM-17 can be reversed though.
