I was going to write a little bit more than this but I had forgotten that King is actually working (for pay) for Vanguard and that may cause issues for him.
I do want to make one comment though re: the manner in which O'gaming is being portrayed.
O'gaming may have additional options available for paying customers (I honestly don't know) and I know they do accept advertisements, but everyone I know who plays EQ2 has used and continues to use O'gaming's quest, item and bestiary resources and NO ONE I know pays for them. That sure strikes me as the same type of open access mentality of EQ2interface.com.
From everything I have seen, O'gaming is not Allakhazams and I, personally, have no problems with them taking some ad dollars to support their site, this site and any other sites in an effort to continue to provide the community with free resources like the O'Gaming database and EQ2interface.com.
I resent the assertion that O'gaming is a greedy evil megacorporation. If they start trying to charge for access to their databases or to the interfaces then I will have a problem with them but because they use ad dollars to pay for their costs and maybe even some sort of sallary..? Com'mon...
