I heard someone's relative died because Mythic billed out all their bank deposits and the electricity bill wasn't able to autopay, and that someone in the house used a breathing apparatus and they died because it lost power.
I was lucky I had a one month re-occurring subscription. I was only billed 21x $14.95, or whatever it was. EA Mythic responded quickly, but I still pulled all of my billing info from their site and canceled. Albeit that info is probably sitting on the servers of the company that handles the transactions. Fun game, and I love the PvP model, but I love my money more.
I must say.... Why so many people are so dumb? Everyone with bank account should have secure limits(day limit/week limit). For example: day limit for internet payments is 100 bucks. Day limit for whidraw from ATM is 1000 bucks. Is that hard?
And the next day EA sued everyone who had been overbilled because they were causing bad reputation for the company...seriously, it wouldn't suprise me at all.
I hope they get the shit sued out of them and I haven't even been effected by this.
I knew Warhammer was a terrible game, but damn... I feel sorry for the people who couldn't pay their bills this month because their accounts got overdrawn.
Haha Creet, Man i told you to get the prepaid cards like me! Man i dont even trust my wife with my credit card...Seriously though. That crap sucks man ya really need to get it sorted out pronto. And also get a lawyer Get tripple what they "Mistakeingly" Took and then by Mythic and get me and the rest of the guild free game time lol
I read this on some forum, pretty sad actually, Mythic or whoever runs this game just killed themselves. Seriously, if any of you guys get any trouble getting your money back id suggest getting an attorney because they live for this kind of stuff and will crucify them.
Ive never played this mmo but reading their forums on hacked accounts and billing errors makes me happy I never joined up. Seriously, I will never complain about WoW customer service ever again.
well i can say EA warhammer online just shot it self in the foot, not only a mass amount of people will stop playing the game but anyone with a right mind that get a wiff of this will not take the risk of putting there CCards on these accounts. I just hope that the person with the little girls BDay get his money back to have his childs B.Day party.
The -$888,888 isn't a fee; it's just what Bank of America uses to keep the account open while they investigate fraud, but ensure that no other charges will go through. They don't do it every time there's a fraudulent charge, but they did it to my accounts when someone printed up some forged checks with my account info. The bank rep clearly explained to me that it was just a flag, and I didn't *really* owe -$888,888.
@dahankitty Yeah I know when I called last night the claims department was closed. The reps I spoke with said it must be a fee error and they will fix it.
As for the Mythic charges it looks like that the bug was that your last payment was sent back in with the same authorization numbers and hit the bank accounts. Now I call it equal failure on the banks and Mythic. Sure Mythic screwed up by having the bug, but the Bank's fraud protection should have caught this.
ouch dude, but do you think that the "warhammer" corp calls this an "error", if you think so then you deserve this if you think it's a scam then OK sure sorry to hear it, but if you think it's a really quick cheap way for the bank's and "warhammer" to make money congratulations very sorry to hear that, better get yourself and the other "scammed" players really "Good/Badass" lawyers and get your money back pronto before it "disappears" into foreign investment/savings accounts
I am so sorry that this hit you so hard, I really hope this can all get sorted out quickly. And in all seriousness, I think it's time you started looking for a lawyer and start a lawsuit against Mythic.
Had the same problem, just not that drastic. I had eighteen charges on my account, plus overdraft fees I was only down $400. Thankfully my fcu doesn't use these crazy equations for figuring out reoccurring overdraft fees and I got off with just under $100 in that.
I was on the outs with the game and this was well more than enough to push me out the door for Mythic.

What is Mythic's stance on this? Are they going to pay the overdraft fees? I hope this runs them into the ground.
