I do not really consent to article 6 tbh. I can get it to patch without accepting if I want (which I have not done). Basically, everything I have posted on your forums I have posted elsewhere on the Internet first and I claimed ownership via the first posting i.e. what I post here is but a copy.

So, how does article 6 work now? I am just interested to know as a point of interest and hypothetical, when said material is originally posted elsewhere first.

Best you contact support@mwomercs.com about this.

The same advice goes to everyone else who has questions about the EULA.

I think its so you can't claim that a suggestion you made to them is your IP and sue them for using it without paying you.

Also so they could potentially quote the positive feedback without getting any additional release from the writer.

But in reality, it won't actually effect anyone, as they can't actually own ideas, just an idea in a given context. EG: BT is a sci-fi world with giant pilotable robots in a dystopian future; Hawken is a is a sci-fi world with giant pilotable robots in a dystopian future - but they're different enough that there isn't considered copyright infringement. I'm also reasonably certain that it wouldn't even stop you from, if you got into game development, using elements you suggested in making your own game.
