Everquest’s Massive FAQ: Making Sense of It
March 14th, 2012
Omali Everquest goes free to play this Friday and in preparation Sony has released a Frequently Asked Question list that covers everything, and I do mean everything. The list is enormous, and many questions overlap one another, so I’ve decided to create a list to consolidate most of the important points. See the entire FAQ here. [...]
Everquest Online Adventures Shutting Down
February 29th, 2012
Omali Talk about disappointingly bad timing. Just as I started writing about Everquest Online Adventures, Sony has announced the impending shuttering of the title. On March 29th, Sony will be shutting down Everquest Online Adventures, Cosmic Rift, Infantry, and Star Chamber. Everquest Online Adventures launched in 2003 as a Playstation 2 exclusive. As a reward to [...]

Stream Of Thoughts: Everquest Online Adventures
February 25th, 2012
Omali I’ve never had an opportunity to play Everquest Online Adventures on the Playstation 2. Released in 2003, Everquest Online Adventures was one of the first MMOs to hit the consoles, and reportedly still has a rather healthy community to this day. For the fact that the game hasn’t been sold in brick and mortar stores [...]
Everquest Mac Accidentally Diagnosed As Dead
February 14th, 2012
Omali How much does John Smedley love you? Enough that, earlier tonight, he posted this on Twitter: Ok EQ Mac Players. You are a wonderful group of players. We will leave it running with no changes or subscription fees. Details soon. Sony announced with sorrow last month that Everquest Mac would come to an end on [...]
Sony Shuttering Everquest On Mac
January 30th, 2012
Omali Everquest on Mac is interesting, to say the least. Almost like Everquest Online Adventures, Everquest Macintosh is a rather different game than Everquest on Windows. Released in 2003, EQMac lost pace with Everquest’s development a long time ago, leaving it very far behind in terms of development. But even without the same level of support [...]
Everquest Officially Free to Play in March
January 30th, 2012
Omali Someone call my doctor, nutritionist, and accountant, and find me enough provisions to last until I die. With Sony’s multitude of announcements over free to play, the titles have been falling like dominos. Everquest 2, Planetside 2, DC Universe, Pirates of the Burning Sea, and the possibility of Vanguard at some point, the idea that [...]
Oh Joy, The Sony Hackers Are Back!
December 30th, 2011
Omali Apparently someone is nostalgic for seven months ago when Sony’s services on Playstation 3 and PC were offline for weeks on end after a hacker broke into the database and walked out with a cartload of personal data. Thankfully, in their usual fashion, the Denial of Service group Anonymous has released a video in advance, [...]

Omali On the 8th day of Christmas, my Sony gave to me: Double Station Cash. So you missed the triple Station Cash deal from the seventeenth and still want to get a good deal this month on fake money. Well you are in luck, because all day today* any purchase that you make either through Station.com [...]
