In June earlier this year, we heard that lead plaintiff, Esther Leong of San Francisco has launched allegations of questional fee charges of Final Fantasy XI, she has now amended the lawsuit to include her own deleted character as damages suffered due to reactivion fees, this will sit alongside previous allegations that Square Enix have failed to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner by charging hidden fees, claiming that "additional online fees" is too vague and that players would not know that their character would be deleted after 90 days without payment in which reactivation fees plus an additional $12.95 would have to be paid for each unpaid month. Since the original charges in June 2009, around 100,000 people have also claimed to have suffered damages because of hidden charges and that the lawsuit states they want Square Enix to pay $5 million between them.

I presume so though if she's added that into the lawsuit as well, though I don't agree having to pay $12.95 for each missed payment if you're not playing the game during that period of time anyway >_>
