A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the 230,000 players of online game Lineage who have had their identities stolen.

The stolen IDs were used to open new accounts in Lineage which were used by gold farmers to generate in-world cash they sold for physical money.

The lawsuit seeks damages for each victim, though few people have so far signed up to support the legal action.
