What is in the new EULA change?

I tried logging in after maintenance and got a notification that “the End User License Agreement has changed” blah blah blah

So I have to go to the battle net website and accept the new EULA

However this shows me the new EULA in its entirety, but it does not show me what changed from the previous EULA.

Is there any way to view the diff?

You are supposed to read it. I doubt you know what’s in the original one anyway. Start now.

I read it in its entirety.

I don’t have the old one memorized. I have some ideas about what is new/different, but my memory is not perfect.

If you find the difference please let us know. :wink:

The whole point of those User Agreements are to be long, tiresome, and jargoned so you have little interest in it, making it more difficult for memory retention.

They want you to skip it. A study recently shows that if you were to read EVERY User Agreement you’ve come across, it would take days.

You’d Need 76 Work Days to Read All Your Privacy Policies Each Year this was from 2012. I can guarantee you they have become longer and more arduous since then. They pay people good money to design them that way.

Even if they read it they are unlikely to fully understand it.

They own our souls, believe it or not.

It’s not that it’s hard to understand. It’s just written with kanguage open enough for them to make quick use of it.

I know the one who gazes, <3

Was speaking more generally about the population of the players, not specifically your self.

I bet they just wanted people to read it. Bsed on what I’m reading here, many people have never read them.

The amount of people who read any of the stuff is the same amount people on Classic.
Barely no one.

TBH, I’ve never read the whole thing, but I did read to the part where it said that Blizzard now owns your soul. Followed by, “FOR THE HORDE”

Beware the “Human Centipede” clause.

Accept [Twisted Hatred] and [Ferocitas the Dream Eater] from Talonkai Swiftroot.
Jump off building
Disconnect before hitting the ground.
Must read new EULA before logging in again.
Immediately disconnected upon login to same character.
Character can be seen ‘levitating’ off the ground (from another character in Teldrassil).
Attempt to use ‘Move Character’ feature (to Westfall)
Affected character is now moved to the gates of Stormwind.
Immediately disconnected upon login to same character.

Apparently the new EULA states that you cannot jump off buildings anymore.

Basically says you cant ask for refunds for boosts when they unleash new servers and cant sue them if you cant play your realm because its too ‘full’

How about if we each take one word and report back here?

I’ll start:

“The”

So far, so good…

I used the wayback machine to look at the old version of the EULA and run a comparison to the new version with my favorite text editor (online services can do this too). Looks like a bunch of minor legalese for the most part, however there was a substantial change to what is defined as cheating. They also removed the support email and instead replaced it with a web form URL.

Also something about trial accounts. my son had one connected to mine and when he attempts to log in now it takes him the the subscription page?
