No, Warhammer Online user, you weren't charged a monthly fee 16 times in a single month because your Chaos Marauder is just that baller. It's because Mythic screwed up. The good news -- inflection depending on how far the coffee shot out of your mouth upon glancing at the billing flub on your statement -- is that the developer has realized something is amiss, is getting refunds to users, and is addressing the core of the issue.
Users of all kinds are reporting zany billing via the MMO's official forums. One two-user household, for example, reportedly has been charged 27 times in a lone month. But all is ending well, hopefully. An update on the Warhammer Web site states that Mythic's has "confirmed" with their vendor that users who were charged more than once should "start seeing a reversal of charges within 24-36 hours."
The post also has some handy advice for getting those banking fees wiped, and additional steps you can take if you find yourself down 700 dollars thanks to that totally baller Chaos Marauder. Read on!
