Warhammer Online players might want to keep a close eye on their bank accounts. A billing error has charged some players between 12 and 22 times, leaving a few with charges of up to $330.00.
Mythic customer service representative Andy Belford has posted information on the official site regarding the glitch, saying that players should be able to get the charges reversed in 24 - 36 hours. Electronic Arts Billing Support is promising to help anyone struggling to reverse late fees.
If you've been burned by this glitch and you're looking for an alternative to credit cards, it's possible to purchase prepaid cards. While it's not as convenient, it does ensure that you won't wake up to find your account massively overdrawn.
In the meantime, it looks like EA's customer service is going to be pretty busy over the next week or so. You can find the thread discussing the billing error here.
