This is just ridiculous, how could they claim such a wide patent?

If this lawsuit makes it and Worlds wins, no real MMO will be safe, Warhammer, FFXI, World of Warcraft, Everquest, etc..

Heck, by that patent, even Gaiaonline is in trouble.

That is total crap.
You can't patent something like that. Everyone uses it, and always has used it.
This is almost as high as Nintendo being sued for it's controllers on the s*** meter.

This is ridiculous. This applies to pretty much every MMO game in existance. You can't just patent an entire genre, can you?
