Case Update: Worlds.com Reopened???

In an interesting turn of events, on July 22, 2010, Worlds.com requested that the court reopen its case against NCSoft. The dismissal of the case on April 23, 2010, was conditional on settlement, and the court explicitly stated:

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed with prejudice; provided,
however, that if any party hereto shall certify to this Court, with a proof of service of a copy on opposing counsel, within 90 days from the date hereof, that the agreed consideration for the settlement has not been delivered over, this Order shall stand vacated, and the action shall be restored to the calendar to be set for trial.

So it appears that Worlds.com, at least, believes that the settlement conditions haven't been satisfied. Still waiting to get a copy of Worlds.com's request to reopen the case, and will update accordingly.
