I would argue in court that the subscription is part of a contract and as a part of a contract the services not being rendered and never having the intent of fulfilling the contract means that it is null and as such the the money was taken fraudulently and as such service must be re-established OR money returned.|

And for a game like CoH were you can pay for your subcription a year in advance, a refund if you end up paying for longer service than you're recieving. Outside of that, you basically know from the get go, at some point, whether it be a year or many many MANY wonderful years from now, the MMO is going to shut down it's servers. |
This argument can be used with anything on any market in MMOs that are time based... ie if you have to pay for say a bank to have it for the month, the argument works. However I'm not sure about regular items that are not time based. One could argue that since one time only market items have no definite length of time associated with them...just the length of time that the service/account it active then they are under no requirements of refunding because even if the item was bought the day before it was bought with the knowledge that, like you said, one day the service will be shut down and the contract being for until the service shuts down it has honored that contract.
Personally I think a refund in the second case would be the moral thing to do but meh, I'm a nice guy, so I'd do things like that, but I don't see it as necessary... I'm also intelligent enough to know that not doing so is bad business and it is unlikely that someone will buy from you again if you don't refund, but if you do refund you can create a report of honesty and trust which means they are ore likely to do business with you in the future.
COX WILL NEVER SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!!!! DON'T JOKE ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!

Well, um, you can have exactly the same experience as before by simply not making any Khelds until you get a character to 50.|

Unless, of course, your objection is to other people having Khelds.

Or did you mean the MMO itself ragequit?
Or Maybe it was the server maintenance tech that made this his 2 weeks notice, as a rage quit?
Should have given that guy a holiday bonus last year....

Not unless they intend to "move on" to someplace other than the industry; utterly destroying your own MMO like that is not the sort of thing that makes for good advertising, or looks good on a resume. This is like a construction company blowing up the skyscraper they just built; whether it was incompetence ("so that's where the dynamite was!") or malice, it looks good nether way.

I bet those players are flinging a bunch of very loud pancakes about.
I wonder if they can sue under Japanese laws.
