As best as I understand it, this gives you three options:
- If your account was active any time prior to May 15, 2011 AND you have played since that date, your account is classified as "active" for the lawsuit and you are entitled to 450SC.
- If your account was active any time between January 1 and May 14, 2011 but then you NEVER logged in after the breach, then you are entitled to a cash translation of however much StationCash you had in the now-dormant account, as long as it was least 200SC ($2). In other words, if you had 10,000SC in your account and never logged in after May 14, 2011, I believe you will get a check for $100. To get this payment, you must agree to have your account closed.
- If you were the victim of identity theft, you are entitled to be reimbursed up to $2,500.
