Or what if the game servers go down and all data is lost. Or what if you get accused of breaking the TOS of the game and your account is terminated.

If any of the things above happen you would lose all of your hard work and time your spend building up your character and in game virtual items and money. Plus if you happen to spend real world money on anything that to would be lost. The way most TOS agreements are worded the gamers really have no legal recourse if any of the above does in fact happen.

I think if a company came along and offered a players account incurance policy it might really catch on.
