BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA, Blizzard just delivered a new TOU for battle.net with pretty good jokes. First is that we will have advertising announcements from Microsoft inside game, and they will collect our IPs to check who was present at the time. But the best one is the "force majeure", where they say they aren't responsible for "acts of God" and "shortage of labor and materials". Acts of God might be attested by eye witnesses that watched Moses in site.

You do realize that this is for Battle.net, and not the Warcraft services. It likely will not affect the gameplay of World of Warcraft.

Of course... because WoW is totally dissociated from B.Net. Specially with Real ID in the corner. Yeah... you're totally right...
Edit: just to clarify... If you don't remember months ago, WoW accounts were merged with Battle.net, and the PTR is testing a chat feature that will work cross-realm and even cross-games that, surprise, is perfect for Massive announcements, reaching people in Diablo 3, Starcraft 2 and WoW at the same time. So, yes, clear as day it affects WoW too.
And advertising is the least problem. By this TOU the inability to log in can be placed in the "acts of God" blame, and you "agree" it's not Blizzard's fault. As the lack of labor and materials to ensure b.net is working, and functional to allow log in and chat inside D3, SC2 and WoW.

You do realise that "Acts of God" is a legal term, yes?
Nevermind my previous post then!

"In the law of contracts, an act of God may be interpreted as an implied defense under the rule of impossibility, e.g., the promise is discharged because of unforeseen, naturally occurring events that were unavoidable and which would result in insurmountable delay, expense or other material breach."
Basically, when it hits the fan, Blizzard will deny any responsibility. New and original.

LOL, nope.I didn't knew that natural disasters were described as "acts of God" in legal terms. That is so freaking funny. By the way, we laughed a lot around here with this.
Speaking of the law, what about the shortage of labor and materials? That's isn't too loosely described in the TOU?
