Due to the Station Exchange, I am leaving EverQuest, for good. I can not suppot a company that cares so little for the people who pay their paychecks. Even though the Station Exchange may never come to EQ1, the damage is done. I can no longer trust SOE's morals. Any company that would violate their own EULA does not deserve my time nor money.
EverQuest has been a part of my life for over 5 years. Even though I had to leave shortly after Luclin came out because my computer would not support the new graphics, and did not get to come back until recently, I have kept an eye on the message boards. I have watched with interest as the game grew, and waited eagerly until I could afford a computer that would run EQ.
EverQuest was, in my opinion, the best thing that ever happened to video games. It had every element that describes a good game. Excelent game play, involved story line, constant challenge, etc. It is a shame that SOE has discarded its morals in favor of the eaiser, more profitable route.
I hope the Exchange does not ruin the game for the rest of you, though I can not see any good coming from it. To me, it represents a huge break in the trust I have for SOE. Not to mention the huge impact it will have on the in-game economy. I wish you all the best of luck.
Peace,
Mr. Tie Dye
