Title: Funny email from Jagex
Post by: Josetann on May 27, 2006, 02:01:27 AM
Got this email when I got home tonight.  Pretty funny, I wonder what they plan on doing?  Maybe have their lawyers try to scare my webhost into complying?  Haha, I'm my own host!  Too bad, try again!

BTW, I made this forum private now, that's why I'm posting it here, don't let anyone else know about it.  If they do make a case out of it, I'll claim ignorance (sorry, my spam filter was set to delete spam and stupid crap).  Of course, it doesn't hurt that they don't even have a case.

Ok, here's the email:

Hello from Jagex,

I work within Community Management for the massive multiplayer online
game RuneScape (www.RuneScape.com).

I have discovered that you host a website at thetechguide.com which
undertakes or facilitates trading in Runescape items to enable cheating
at RuneScape.

Such behavior damages our game and infringes our intellectual property
andother legal rights.

Please contact me within 7 days to confirm that you will remove any
RuneScape related item or account selling posts on this website.

Otherwise I will pass the matter to our lawyers.

Terry Smith
Jagex Ltd.

Yea, they have no case at all.  Besudes that, I think they are just trying to scare you.  You should get a disclaimer or something.

and I'm guessing something like this is going to happen in RS2MM...

Technically, I'm not the owner anymore.  It's owned by a corporation now.  Basically it means, if anyone did sue the site, they'd come after the corporation, and not me.  Even more basic, it means that the corporation could possibly lose everything it owns (which, besides the site, is nothing) and I don't lose a thing.

Exactly what everyone else says a "Scare" ... Every game has cheats its not eligal. Plus whats games without cheats lol.
