For comparison, here's how she tends to look in New Exarchs these days:

Be careful putting your characters with ten years' history into the game. According to the EULA, anything you make is the property of NCsoft--so far, nobody's been sued and there's no way of knowing whether it would hold up in court, but according to the license you're ceding rights to anything you build.

Their EULA in that respect is worth less than nothing. They basically include that so that they can host the stuff without being sued, and so they can take it down without being sued.

They'd be in serious guacamole if they tried to appropriate characters which had existing prior history provable in court. And I know (having met him) that Harry Dresden hangs around on Virtue sometimes. Yes, the real Harry Dresden, as run by the real Jim Butcher.

Kinda what I suspected, thanks. Zach and I went over it a bit more last night on-game, but it did mainly sound to me like the "we can use your stuff but won't take it" boilerplate, albeit a little more open to "we can take your stuff too" interpretations.

I'm pretty sure it means 'we own the specific made in CoH version of things'. Eg, the CoH Kopikat is their property, so if the servers close and you sue to get her back, we will point and laugh at you.

So if they try anything untoward as suggested in their EULA, it's class action at minimum as an automatic response? Good to know the class action would have at least one celebrity standard-bearer.

Well, TOR would be rather protective at least, as would Warner or whoever licensed the character for the SciFi Channel series *before it was SyFy(lys) ...)
