If you had an SOE account prior to May 2011, you are eligible for part of the settlement reached due to the Sony data breach back in 2011. Details here

The Court decided that the Settlement Class includes anyone residing in the United States (including its territories) who had a PSN account or sub-account, a Qriocity account, or an SOE account at any time before May 15, 2011.

Sony Online Entertainment (SOE)

Inactive (no sign-ins from May 15, 2011 through June 13, 2014)
· Payment equal to paid virtual currency in your account wallet (if eligible balance is $2 or more) or
· Resume use of your account and choose the active SOE accountholder benefit
When you submit a claim, your wallet will be: 1) checked for the minimum paid balance for eligibility and 2) if approved, your balance extinguished and account closed.

Active
· $4.50 deposit of “Station Cash” (450 Station Cash units) usable for all SOE digital products and services for which Station Cash may be used
· Deposit amounts will be reduced proportionally if valid claims exceed $4 million.

Eligible participants may file a claim online using the link at the bottom of this page.

Wow, what am I going to do with all of four-and-half-bucks... in STATION CASH, yet!

That's per player too... so if you box multiple accounts, you're out-of-luck, you get just the $4.50SC too---even if the breach could have jeopardized several of your valued accounts! Smiley: mad

Meanwhile the lawyers get TWO AND A HALF MILLION REAL DOLLARS!
Any lawyers play EQ and read these forums? If so... please defend this settlement... please... I dare ya! Smiley: lol

Haha! Didn't even notice that. Well, I'm sure you can all be sufficiently motivated to get your four-fiddy in Station Cash to figure it out.

I don't have any real opinions on how "good" the settlement is for the lawyers or anyone else. I just figured enough people here had accounts pre-dating May 2011 that they'd at least want the opportunity to get their bit if they wanted it.

Oh I agree. I have some friends who thought it was a spam email and deleted it. That's how unbelievable the Sony email sounded.

Of course, spammers would have said something like:

CLICK HERE NOW AND ENTER YOUR STATION ACCOUNT USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND CLAIM YOUR MILLION BILLION DOLLARS IN STATION CASH!

Sad thing is some people woulda done it...

The email I got said something about a couple of free games and the big $4.50.

I wasn't sure if it was legit or not I haven't done anything with it yet.

The free games are if you were part of the Playstation Network at the time.

Playstation Network = Free games
Sony Online Entertainment = Station Cash
Qriocity = Who knows? What the heck is a Qriocity?
