I'm suing NCSoft over Tabula Rasa too. I played the game and suffered all sorts of emotional trauma. I'm seeking damages in the amount of $11 million.
HAHAHA. Oh god Garriott, how I fucking hate you. Guess he finally wasted all his glory day ultima money on useless bullshit.
And lol @ them basically firing him. Gold. Did you know Garriott had an art team waste about a month of time designing and re-designing his character's IN-GAME COSTUME? I.e. the one that "General British" would wear, and no one else. Not to mention his space-capades. Oh man, what a cocksucker. And trying to take all the credit for designing UO when it was entirely Raph Koster.

Tort law largely revolves around personal injury, your ambulance chasers are tort lawyers. When you here politicians talking about tort reforms they are talking about changing the laws to deal with the sometime ridiculous award granted in tort cases like the woman who made million by spilling McDonalds coffee on herself (actually I hear that verdict got tossed on appeal).
In general, tort law implies some some kind of damage to yourself or your property. At any rate, from the description I am not sure if there is much of a torts claim here. Sounds like this case is more geared towards "property and other fraud."
At any rate, Tabula Rasa looked like it sucked, I think Garriott should stick to fantasy settings. Although, "Richard Garriott: Ace Plaintiff" might be interesting...

I thought that a tort was a cake but it turns out that's a torte. Much tastier.
Now, as for Garriott, I don't like or dislike the guy, but he's not stupid. He wouldn't be entering into this suit if he didn't think he was going to get something out of it. There was a lot of strange stuff happening in NCSoft around that time and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's got a good foundation for a case. The figure is just stupid though; they'll probably settle for a nominal sum.

@Chronic Logic:
Maybe he was running out of money, and when he decided to tap into his NCSoft stock, it turned out that since his dismissal was "voluntary" it means that his stock options expire within a time limit. Otherwise, if his dismissal had been "involuntary" he would keep that stock no matter what.
I don't like or dislike the guy. But if a company did that to me, I would be pissed.
