I bet legal fees were included in this sales price.
The top sale on this week’s Afternic domain sales report 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 customer.
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 before 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?
I’m more interested in knowing how much NameMedia would have charged for TribalWars.com had Innogames NOT tried to steal it with a UDRP?

Good to see this karma.
This generic domain should have never been involved in a UDRP.

I agree with Ms domainer.
Justice comes in many forms.
Afaik the price was above 1.3 million USD before the UDRP has been started.
Later the announced price dropped to 380k and now to 34k.
@ Insider1,
Uh, yeah, right.
