As someone who works in a law-firm. Any lawsuit about a person voluntarily sitting in front of their computer for a reward in a video game would be thrown out faster than your garbage on garbage day.
The fact you even responded to my sarcastic reply about this stupidity makes me really scared about the people that play this game.

If I were the plaintiff (I'm an estate planning/probate administration/medicaid planning sort of attorney, and it's been a long time since law school, so sue me (lol) if my idea is horrible), I'd try to push the analogy between a landowner owing some duties to invitees and licensees and the players' status on the virtual landscape of p99.
I guess it probably wouldn't get anywhere in most/all jurisdictions though because even if the players are invitees, the dangers of staying up for ridiculous amounts of time at a manastone camp are obvious.
Then again, more retarded legal theories have come out on top now and then over the years.
