Recently being away from EQ, i returned to find out EQplayers.com was a new SOE service...hmmm...never looked at it until today. WTF was my first thought, anyone can type in a char's name, and find out EXACTLY what each and every char has in their BANK inv...! That pissed me off to no end, (SOE will get a lengthy email about this from me), anyhow --- i, like everyone else, pay SOE a hefty fee monthly, throughout the year to play this online game, so why should they NOW post my char info, gear to anyone they see fit? THAT is like everything else in this society that has gone corrupt; social security #'s, phone #'s, email, account info(monthly bills), personal info,.....the list goes on!
Ask yourself this: how many times have YOU (points at you!), had to fix a problem with informational leaks in ur personal life, (as mentioned above)??? Why not just give SOE the right to hand out your Station Name and Password, so people can "freely" browse your character, in depth, why not,huh? they're practically doing that now! I play EQ to do what i want, when i want, how i want --- it's my money every month, and it's my account to play how i see fit. I'm not too sociable in-game like most, ppl **** me off in PoK, i have a shortened temper, who doesn't have issues? My point [b]IS: SOE should make persona; char info, a registar to know policy ONLY!!![/b]
If i wanted my char info to be publicized, i would authorize it, which to this point I HAVE NOT, nor will i, willingly. Am i being an ***, or does anyone else feel like your just gradually becoming a nameless person in exsistence, that will undoubtedly become an Informational Tech stat on the internet, with no identity, w/ except of looking yourself up occasionally, to contemplate what you used to be?If i wanted my char info to be publicized, i would authorize it, which to this point I HAVE NOT, nor will i, willingly.

I will be spamming SOE / EQ with a similar email to have my char info REMOVED form EQplayers...until i feel I'M rdy to release it ( by registaring my char's)...please feel free to do the same, if your frame of mind, is the same as mine...!?
>>> Is there nothing that one can still hold sacred, anymore --- DAMN! <<<
If there IS anyone else out there that agrees with me on this topic, please post a reply, +pos / or -neg....i don't care really, i just wanna let ppl know about this, if they didn't already...
**note** i know -- everyone has their own opinion, but i will stand by this one, no matter what!
