Mortal Online plagiarizes EVE Online's terms of service Mortal

There's always that temptation in high school and college to simply copy
someone else's work to get out of writing really boring papers. Still,
no matter how great the temptation, it's good to abstain from such
activities. While it's not only wrong, it can be extremely embarrassing
if you're found out by the teacher and penalized for plagiarism.

We guess that someone over at Mortal Online
really didn't want to work up an original terms of service (TOS) for
the game, as a few sharp-eyed players noticed that the document not only
was extremely similar to one in another MMO but failed to replace
mentions of its source game. It appears as though Mortal Online took EVE Online's
TOS and reworked it slightly -- and imperfectly -- for its own
nefarious purposes, as you can see in the graphic above. The TOS has
since been changed to eliminate the mention of EVE.

This recalls a similar misstep from last year, when Alganon was caught with its pants down after "borrowing" a press release from BioWare.
