Ah, but there is the beauty.

A ToS stating they are not obligated to provide a decent Service Level Agreement is quite simply a paper veil, one that MIGHT hold up in a legal situation, but probably won't if one is able to hire competent legal aid. And even if it does manage to scrape through such an event, it still doesn't change the fact that any company not capable of paying off a BBB-esque ratings firm will be rated an F if it is brought to their attention. Pretty sure they WERE rated very low for a long time, at that.
The moment any free to play game implements a cash shop of any sort, THEY lose all rights to have such wording in their ToS; even if it is there, it doesn't matter, a ToS cannot override federal law, just as a lone person cannot decide it is OK to snipe people off the streets from his roof simply because he signed an agreement to himself saying it was OK. Technically, their CASH SHOP servers are the only ones that require all of these formalities, but they were obviously harmed as well, it's right there in the thread title. So if they wanted to be losers they could just put all of those backups on their Cash Shop servers and the character backup databases (which are very likely hosted offsite), and be able to skate by any legal trouble, though it would still make them horrible people for not doing the same with the normal servers. But then, horrible people skate by in court all the time.

Yes, and I'm trying to state here that I find the fact that they are even allowed to get away with this crap is abysmal.
