Sqee, I think you are confusing Moorgard and Blackguard. Moorgard worked for the fansite Mobhunter before coming to SoE. This is my all time favorite Moorgard quote:

Until then, we make a plea to Verant: keep your customers informed. Even though only 80 players were directly affected by the change to Kael, when you cripple one of the top guilds in the game, you cripple the dreams of tens of thousands of players across all servers who look to these guilds to give them hope for the future of EverQuest.

Hope like that is priceless to a company, and is irreplaceable once lost.

Amusingly enough...tamat.

I don't believe eq2 warcry HAD a site manager between tamat and ken.

Does this mean OGaming and Allakhazam are similar to what I heard about Thottbot, in that the lookup information is actually used to know what areas players are focused on and therefore to send plat pharmers to those areas?

Isn't Thottbot also owned by the same people who own IGE?

So is eq2 warcry a Zam (or IGE related) company also? I can't see Tamat handling that site for a different owner, that would be a conflict of interest, especially since all work was done on Ogaming and little if any was done on EQ2 warcry.
