The 10 pixel laws of computer games

RC-ST.

OG
Today is the last day of this year and it is a special day so I will write here some laws that I thought for some time.



1 If you create a character that character is your property

2 If you find, buy, receive any item or any form of valuable thing in the game those are your properties

3 Any property that you have (character, items, anything) can be sell, give for free leave for legacy to your family or destroy by you

4 Anyone who destroy, sell, any of your property in game (character,items) no matter who is (Game master, any other player) will be stopped and will be forced to give back the property

5 Anyone who do not respect this laws or try to stop these laws will be banned to play, create , transmit any game on the internet.

6 The company that created the game cannot change the laws of the game unless the players accept it (the most representative players - changes that can eliminate Twinks , for exemple)

7 The company cannot close the game if there are active players that can support the cost of the server

8 The movies created in this games(like wow movies) using characters created by players, are considered art if they find a new form of expression in this movies.

This movies will be owned by their creators(players) and they will be considered authors with full right(right to sell, exploit with no restriction from the production company(like blizzard)).

The company will still have rights for music from the game and actors voices.

9 In case this movies have a great succes and earn a lot of money the production company of the game can ask for a small percent of the income.

10 Players will be free to choose his game style (raids, wow-movie creator, twinks) and the company will help them maintain their game play . In case of accidents a game jury (elected from very good players)will debate the case and will come to a resolution that will be executed by the Game Masters (for example : if a Twink level up by accident he will be downleveled). This jury will be permanent and will watch the games so that they don't trick the laws.



If this laws will be adopted the mmorpgs will be much better.
 
This will never happen, while you are trying to protect the rights of the players...We don't own jack squat lol. Its there game, there pixels, there space.



We pay for it correct..but its more like we are renting not buying.



Rules 2 and 3 won't ever happen, theres alot of bugs and glitched items that can happen as well as over sights that weren't ment to be there.

Thus GMs have every right to take certain items away, and Devs can change and fix the problems.



Rule 6....what?? Its there game, they paid to make it, if they change it in a way that doesn't favor players they lose them..you can quit if you don't like something they do.



Rule 7.....messes with free interprise, theres many more costs than just maintaing servers, on top of this..if they choose to close the game its there choice and right.



Rules 8 and 9 are in-effect but its flip flopped, The company owns all rights in and around the game, they give their players the rights to produce movies and use there characters to a certain extent.



Rule 10. They designed the game. They will choose what style of game play you can and cannot do in a game, Twinking was never intended by Blizzard, but since a large enough base does it, they leave it alone..at least for now.
 
it will happen everything i said here, it's just a matter of time

a long time... a very long time or a short time if we are lucky

anyway, i was just trying to protect your rights as a consumer/payer but you sound like you are one of the blizzard actions holder

if you pay for something,give the name, play and rise that that is yours. Your property.

It doesn't matter what blizzard is trying to say in that EULA.

That contract can be eliminated if it is against the state law, and one of the state law is that your property is protected by law.

when we will admit that something virtual is your property, blizzard will have to quit making games or change his actions



Remember this : you pay for this, you own this. Blizzard is nothing without the players and if the palyers take action blizzard will have to listen to them.

At this moment Blizzard is a dictator, and the players are slaves.
 
I don't work for Blizzard....however I bet there employes are well paid with what they rake in lol.



You pay to have "Access" AKA "Rent" Blizzards space..which happens to be in the form of a character that you design from the ground up, but its still theres..They have every right to do with it as they please, the rules are set in-stone before the game ever launched what can and cannot transpire.



The Internet is relativly new. There are multiable laws trying to figure out just exactlly how to protect copyrights, while keeping "Public Domain"'s safe.



The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is the current act being enforced.

Virtual property has been long debated as to what is and isnt protected, In this case Blizzard owns all rights to World of Warcraft, any thing produced, disturbted, or created, in and around this work of intellectual property. (Game) (MMO)



Like I said..we ~PAY~ to ~USE~ this product not own any part of it, the only way you would own a part of this is if you were a share holder of Blizzards.



Blizzard doesn't HAVE to take action if the players aren't satisfied, but most game companys will act on the behalf of the players to keep them...why? Profit, money, green bills ;).



We aren't slaves...we are in no way forced to play this game. There rules only enforce the game, not reality.

i know what you said but what you said is something blizzard told you

you don't pay to use your character, you pay to own the character, to be your property. Blizz say you pay to rent it but this is just because he doesn't want any trouble from any of us.

The fact is you pay to buy that character and this is because you can name it, transform it, level it, grow it.

if it is like you say this means that i can rent your character. I just send some money to blizz and ask them to rent me your twink with your name and everything

is that ok for you? I gues not!

So stop saying what blizz told you and start thinking for yourself!:D
 
Lol what Blizzard told me? I play the game and chat alittle bit on forums, I never read offical Blizzard CMs, GMs, or Devs.



The reason your statement is false is this, If I rent a boat, then you come by the dock 2 days later and want to rent the same boat, you cant becuase its currentlly in use.



that and its a diffrent forum of renting, we are renting the space (10 character slots) of accounts, to do with as we please as long as it abides by the terms of service.



Until you pay millions of dollars in cash to develope your own game, you won't hold any of these powers. It is what it is, they paid to make the game..its theres.
 
they didn't paied anything, that's my point!

you pay millions

you and millions of other players are actually paying billions to maintain that world

they just paied at the begining to make the trees, etc.

but now, you are the one who own the world

if no one will subscribe next month wow will no longer exist.

this tirany is exactly the same as pharaohs with slaves and comunism

i know what i am talking about because i have lived in comunism and i know how it is .

first they told you this is how it is (you rent the character)

then you just take this words and live with them

then you find some problems (like you when you accidently leveled) and try to find some help from them

they don't help you

then you ask them why they don't help you and they told you that they don't have to answer your request(because they are gods)

then you ask yourself some questions : some good question like - why can't I decide when and how to level if this is my character . Am i not free?!

i will upload something on you tube
 
Firstly it ses that your taking your view and your experience and fitting it into a non compatible situation.



When you pay for wow the only thing you "own" is the box that your game came in and its contents.



Now as for Blizz only paying at the start for the creation of wow and not paying anything now?



Who payed the development team for years while the game was int he works making no money, games like wow take a long time to make and maintain which bring me to my next point.



Blizz still have a large number of expenses to keep the game running and growing as it is, server costs, employee salarys, tech support, customer support, development teams for future content. All this costs money and continues to cost money.



Blizzard have set the terms of service and you as a paying customer agreed to those terms before playing or even creating your account with them.



You are a customer, not an owner. You continue to pay them so they keep working on the game instead of letting it die.



Servers go down once a week why? Maintenance, additions of new content, fix bugs/glitches, basically to make it a better palying invironment for you its customer. This is the service you are paying for just because they can't roll back a level doesn't mean there not going to do everything they can to help you. Sometimes your just plum outta luck.
 
when i pay for the game i pay to play the game for ever!!!

i ve been a pirate all my life and wow is the only game i have paid around100 dollars so i expect to recive everuthing

blizz don't need money to develop new content, as a twink i don t need anything new, and anything new is dumb until now

and the maintance?

lol you can make a wow server... but they don t wana let you make your own wow server? why money!
 
If you want to own your character you'll have to buy the company
 
you pay for what you get.



what you are paying for is a rent on an account. and blizzard can take it away at any time for no reason, because it's theirs.



if you don't like it, don't pay for it, it's that simple.
 
thats one of your problems right there, you were a pirate for most games, and then Blizzard comes along with hell of alot better secruity so you can't jack this game for free.



another problem is, okay you don't need new content as a twink...what about the other millions of players? quite a few of them dislike twinking and only play on their mains.



maintaing the servers requires mass amounts of money, they dont let people play private servers because the game is there property, you playing on a free version...copyright laws.



on top of that if you knew any thing...most private servers can barly hold a hundred people without lagging, blizzards servers hold thousands. several hundred thousand to be more specfic

no, not several hundred thousand. more like thousands.



are there that many character datas on the server? yes. but are they always on at the same time? no.



do you ever see that Position in Queue message? it means the server can't support any more accounts.



even if you have 10 chars on the server, you can only have one char on the server at a time.
 
way more than 100 servers in WoW



and in NO way will 10 million out of 11 million players be on at the same time.
 
Naturaltalnt said:
True, but my point is that they hold ALOT of people, more than any other game. even with the competetion Lotro, WAR, etc..Blizzards WoW still truimphs them by quite a large amount.
