Some MMOs have crazy cancellation fees. One example of a MMO with an absurd cancellation fee is Final Fantasy XI. This fee is so outrageous, that the Illinois court system is stepping in!
HB4178 was proposed by Alderman Frank Edwards, who spent a frustrating few hours trying to cancel his son’s FFXI account, he phoned Rep. Raymond Poe to discuss the matter.
The bill forces any Internet gaming service provider(MMO providers) to have a secure method which the consumer may use to cancel the service, which method shall not require the consumer to make a telephone call or send U.S. Postal Service mail to effectuate the cancellation. Also, the Internet gaming service provider must have instructions that the consumer may follow to cancel the service at the Internet gaming service provider’s web site. If the internet gaming service provider does not follow the law, then it’s considered an unlawful business practice.
In lay man’s terms; the MMO provider must have a cancel subscription link on their website. Also, they must provide detailed instructions on how to cancel the subscription.There’s no word yet if this law will travel to other states.
