*** Please Lend a Helping Hand in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina ***
Hurricane Katrina has left an incredible wake of destruction across the Mid-Atlantic
States. Sony Online Entertainment would like to ask you to take a moment to make a
donation to the American Red Cross in order to help alleviate some of the suffering.
In EverQuest II we have added the /donate command--type in /donate to be taken to the
American Red Cross's Hurricane 2005 relief page. The American Red Cross will process your
donation and make sure that it is put to maximum use to help those whose lives have been
affected by the hurricane.
For our 13,000+ players in the affected areas, we will be suspending billing until such
time as they are able to play again. In addition, any items or structures in any of our
games that decay over time will be preserved until the user's next login.
Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
