I am just trying to shed some light on this. Perhaps this has happened to someone else? I have 2 Ultima Online accounts: 12.99 x 2 per month. And I just checked my online statement and it shows that they just took out $122 + charged me for my two accounts. It's too late to call them today and my bank is also closed.

Anyway just curious if anyone else has had simular dealings with them? First thing I thought was maybe my account(s) was hacked, but there's no way to charge my account by just doing that. Not sure how $12.99 x 2 came out to $122.. In any case I am extremly pissed. Perhaps it was a mistake.. But this is just crazy. I put a hold on my card to no more charges can go through just in case.

I'm going to scoot this over to On-Topic. Maybe you'll get more bites over there.

I think they just bought you, and all intellectual property rights to you, lock, stock and barrel.

Oh, wait, sorry, that'd be Microsoft.

Never mind. ;)

Maybe they're forcing everyone to pre-pay for 6-12 months now instead of allowing you to make monthly payments? Would have been nice if they'd informed you in advance, though.

Of course they informed you!
in very fine print
