Agreed.
They've gone too far this time.
I sent a email complaining to
bmcquaid@... (Brad),
jbutler@...
(Jeff Butler) and
jsmedley@... (john smedley). I suggest that anyone
who feels strongly that this will compromise EverQuest send these three a
courteous email regarding the matter.
Don't flame, be polite and be concise. Hopefully we can get them to see
reason. I personally will not be playing again until/unless that part of
the eula is removed.
It's been wonderful.... farewell my friends...
