Following losing UDRP, firm pays NameMedia $34,910 for TribalWars.com

Following losing UDRP, firm pays NameMedia $34,910 for TribalWars.com

I bet legal fees were included in this sales price.

TribalWarsThe top sale on this stretch’s Afternic domain sales note is TribalWars.com at $34,910, and it’s an interesting one.

The buyer, Innogames, has an MMORPG called TribalWars. In 2011 Innogames filed a UDRP against NameMedia (technically against BuyDomains) for the domain.

It lost.

Now, two years later, Innogames has finally realized that if it wants a good domain is simply needs to pay for it.

Innogames has gone from filing a complaint against NameMedia to being a client.

TribalWars.com isn’t the only domain it has purchased from NameMedia. Last month it bought BattleCommander.com for $2,731. Perhaps it is learning to buy the .com domain ahead of launching a web site.

I wonder how much NameMedia would have demanded for BattleCommander.com had Innogames first tried to steal it with a UDRP?
