I know this number is not accurate but something like 90% of all cases end in a pre-trial settlement that pass the Markman hearing. ATVI is not Google, Microsoft or Apple who have ultra deep pockets. Right now Worlds would be thrilled with $300M. Once Markman is past that price gets higher. Going to court could end up costing Activision $750M-$1B. Activision won't want this to get to jury.
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. Santa EDVA visits tomorrow and I have been a good boy this year! And now today I find out the big party is going to crank up next week!! What a fun ride this is going to be!
I guess ATVI couldn't respond to 59 claims on 25 pages huh?
They better not forget to bring the checkbook!
Someone loaded up @ .495 so out with the weak hands and into the new long hands we go!
I missed those .47's anyone get some?
MM's took out someone stop loss? I just got a couple more shares great time to add.
I'm certain this is a good time to buy.
Also not enough sellers from here to .60. If you wanted to buy a large position it would take all day with the few sellers out there.
How high will she fly once EDVA shows we have a strong case and Markman looks to be in the bag? My guess is shorty after his release in 27 hours we will be in a new higher .60+ building a base for the move into the +$1 range 30 days prior to Markman.
Sit back relax and watch the show.
Proud member of the core 21!
Agreed CB's stuff shows the strong past history of Worlds. They truly had some amazing talents back in the day. No wonder the patents they hold are the backbone of the MMORPG industry! I love all forms of DD good OR bad. Right now the runway is clear and the real run is about to begin!
Oh we'll hear from them still. When the tales of doom and gloom begin you can bet your last dollar its a former long who sold and is trying to bash his way into a buy.
The next 60 days are so clear to me its almost like shooting fish in a barrel. Buy and hold you will make a fortune. Trading requires timing and luck and even the best trader will have a hard time beating the buy and hold guy in this stock.
Going through all 194 comments it seems these tech guys all agree in the end that Worlds was the 1st to patent 3D using servers. Just so happens that is the back bone of the entire MMORPG industry today!
The future looks bright my friends!
To the future WDDD millionaire core 21 congrats! Only upside from here and tons if it!
Went through this site and once you get down to the point where many begin to understand that Worlds has a strong case you start finding comments like this one:
From JD:
Everything but the 3D aspect was done in AberMUD (which used a 2D graphical interface in a dedicated client). Basic GUI-driven avatar-based multi-player interactions via specialized clients can be traced back to XTrek at least (XTank didn't use clients per-se, since the server transmitted X protocol commands to the client display), since avatars could directly interact and players could chat via a console.
In terms of 3D interactions, Second Life was hardly the first. Alpha World was earlier and even that was derived from earlier attempts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Worlds
Aha! Yes, Worlds Inc was responsible for Alpha World. That makes sense, and certainly Alpha World has a legitimate claim to being the direct ancestor of WoW, etc, and the platform that developed all of the technology used by Second Life, ad nausium. It's a push for them to claim the sole rights to MMORG Virtual Realities, though.
I Pity the fool who shorts this rocket! 32 hours till EDVA sends us to a new trading range!
A few reasons I will not sell at any price prior to Markman.
1) NCSoft provided Worlds and their legal dream team superstar Max Tribble and Susman Godfrey a road map to beat Activision. The prior art NCSoft provided along with the continued strengthening of Worlds original patents gave Susman all they needed to take down Activision. This takes Worlds from a 50:50 shot at a positive Markman and sends the odds hugely in favor of Worlds. IMO more like 90:10.
2) Understated $ amounts. IMO treble damages will be a slam dunk as Worlds has already disclosed that they approached Activision years ago about a licensing deal. So no way Activision could say they didn't know they were infringing. Activisions revenue is measured in the billions $4.8 Billion last year. If we assume half of that revenue is MMORPG revenue and half of that from their 2 largest games COD & WOW, which are the Worlds named for this suit, and assume half of this revenue is from US we get a ballpark # of $600 Million. A victory at trial should result in a royalty of 3.5%, or $21M/yr. Now treble this amount for willful infringing and you get to $63M for just last year. Over the life of the patent this amount easily surpasses $750 Million.
3) Activision will settle for all their MMORPG revenue which by many estimates is double COD & WOW. So assuming a victory at trial it's likely unless Activision settles with Worlds for all games they will be back in court with another $750 Million in damages and royalties in play.
4) Avtivision is only 1/3 of the total pool of MMORPG US revenue so it would be possible to triple the final $ amount from Activision to get us to the total amounts possible for Worlds to get.
I look forward to EDVA's analysis to compare with mine but to me the vast majority if holders in this stock do not have a clue how valuable the stock is they hold right now.
My estimates pre-Markman is $2 PPS. Post Markman $4. Post trial with Activision $6. Final price 2 years from today after a dozen MMORPG settlements $10. As you can see HUGE potential!
And we haven't even talked about the potential social site suits.
1.5 trading days till EDVA sends us into the 70's. Core 21 ready to kick some Arse!
The float is approx 10 M now the reason its not going up is there are not enough sellers to fulfill buyers needs.
Well with the last big buy its pretty obvious some big player or players have moved in. Almost wish there was a 200K sell every cent higher. My guess is this guy wants a ton by doesn't want to single handedly take us to $1 to get them. If there were enough shares to buy we could hit 60 today.
CB
I think you should write one EDVA is not going to go through SA. Lots of eyes on SA would bring some new money in.
I have been saying Vringo win lose or draw I will push money into Worlds. Obviously a win is the best scenario.
Awesome CB submit this to SA
49 hours till EDVA drops a bomb!
Any new longs want in big better hurry and get that 200K @ .54
Bounced right off previous all time high though. Every 100K seller we have now gives us the strength we need to push to $1.
Celtics, do you have an idea how small the float is getting? Gotta be less than 10M.
Hold Fast! Big buyer may not move back in until 11:30 possibly 1:30 today. Don't throw away riding into the 60's because we only trade a few hundred thousand shares the 1st 2 hours. Only good news on the horizon for as far out as you can see!
Another big player huh? Sounds like we need to rename the core 20 the core 21! Just like a Blackjack @ 21 pays 150% Worlds will pay 150% to those who simply buy and forget for the next 45 days. Easiest money you will ever make. Those with the cojones to hold through Markman will double that!
Celtics,
Glad to hear everyone in your family is safe. I said a prayer for all of Boston last night. Such senseless killing is hard to imagine why someone would want to do something like this.
The board missed you yesterday so I say we pull off a bigger rally than yesterday so you can join in the fun this time.

Huge freaking news EDVA is including $$$$$$ in his Thursday patent breakdown. I look for him to layout anywhere from $500M - $750M in damages from these 2 titles alone. Thursday afternoon will be freaking huge!
EDVA update
The bottom line Worlds went after NCSoft on their own. NCSoft threw a ton of prior art at Worlds and the cost of fighting them skyrocketed so Worlds settled for what they could.
Since that time Worlds patents have strengthened and Susman Godfrey went through all the NCSoft prior art and figured out they can beat Activision. Since they figured this out Worlds has been granted 2 additional patents.
NCSoft was the test specimen for the new attack lead by superstar Max Tribble. No doubt that Activision will pay and will pay huge $ to get out of this one.
Sit back and watch the game play out. You are holding a $5 PPS stock and don't even realize it yet.
Some idiot who could have sold his 100k at .485 pissed away a few thousand dumping it @.462.
Dumbass
New price targets today .49 tomorrow .55 Wed .60 Thursday .70 6-27 - $1!!
I gotta ask why anyone would be selling now? Seems on a mission to get to the .63+ range in a short time.
WooHoo Buoy Blunder back to send us to new highs!!!
WORL back. No sellers moving in yet. Buyers will give in and move up. This week will be huge!
James Altucher was the author I am making a comparison to what news can do to tightly wound stocks approaching a binary event once the amounts are verified to be huge. Worlds can make just as much from its patents that Vringo can make from their original search patent suit against Google. Once John Q Public figures that out no way we stay below $1.
Search for "Google's going to zero" it came out on 4-2-12 I am hoping we get an Activision is going to zero story that has the same effect on Worlds.
CB, nice to know with your research that Worlds can't be put in the "Troll" category. Worlds has been for several years and will continue to be an important company in MMORPG industry.
Consider that for the next 9 weeks Worlds is a powder keg that can and probably will blow at any time. Many new eyes on WDDD daily as rumors of Markman success and huge recoveries seep into the market. Then as all if this is coming to a head on Thursday EDVA lights a fuse stating what most of us already know that Worlds has a very good chance of getting through the Markman hearing. Then if another SA article comes out saying "Oh by the way Worlds could get $1B+ from all infringers of their patents", which again most of us already understand.
We could be over $1 before we know what hit us.
I challenge all longs to hold through the next 30 days, or until we hit $1, before considering to sell as we are in a perfect set up that only happens a few times each year in the entire market. When these times happen you have to full take advantage of them and selling early you may miss one hell of a ride.
