California Fire EQ Team Update
EverQuest producer Clint Worley posted on the official EQ Forums to give players an update about state of the EQ team. As SOE's main offices are located in San Diego, the wildfires burning in California are directly affecting many of their staff members.
Here is his post from the official EQ Forums:
I wanted to give all of the players an update on the current state of the EQ team.
As of right now the entire San Diego offices are closed. As you can imagine this may directly impact the response time to many of your requests. I do hope that you all understand that we are doing everything we can right now to make sure that our families are safe and many of the teams members are staying with others due to the large scale evacuations. There are people on the team that have homes in some of the worst hit areas and they have not been allowed back into their neighborhoods to check on their houses.
My internet connection has been down since the weekend and it is just now restored along with my cable TV. As you could imagine, without the internet or cable getting information is challenging to say the least. I live in a city that was evacuated and although I am at home, both of my cars is packed and parked outside ready to go at a moments notice. As it stands, all of SOE senior management is working to make sure that we don't have anyone that is homeless or without essentials.
We understand that we provide a service and it is important to us to get back to the office. Right now we are making sure that our families and friends are safe from the fires and as of right now many of the fires are not even contained.
I will keep you all updated with the developments and my prayers and wishes go out to everyone that has been touched by these fires. I wish everyone the best.
