I'll go ahead and field this, as I'm the main culprit here ;)

Basically, when I was brought on board to the Alla team, I was told to post anything pertinent to the MMOG community here. If you notice, the non-EQ news that you see is categorized under "General".

Yes, this is an Everquest site, but this is also a gaming site. We give all news available about the Everquest game and community that we can find, and also give information about the newer games comming out, as to give people a variety of things to choose from in their gaming experience.

In all honesty, the Everquest world has settled down quite a bit since launch, and the biggest news has been well covered and documented by the team. Legacy of Ykeshka is not going unnoticed by the community here at Allakhazam's :)

I understand your point of view, so please try to understand ours. A bigger reason we post other news on this site is that it is much easier for people to come to a single site and read news about all that interests them in one shot. People who play EQ(feel free to insert DAoC, AO) are generally interested in the MMOG's and thus will read about them anyways on other sites. We try and bring together the MASSIVE amount of information on other sites and give them sort of a "starting block" to jump to places of interest.

If a person knows they can come to Allakhazam's and read about all they like, then I would think that would have them comming back the next day to get the scoop on what's happening in the MMOG world.

You notice you do not see news about DAoC, or AO, as they have their own sites to have the news about them exclusively posted. There is simply not enough manpower or time to have sites for every single MMOG comming out, so we post the news that is pertinent to any who are interested as we come accross it.

If you're interested in why sites would 'call their site EQ and post something other than EQ' we're not the only one out there. I'm not going to go into a debate on "they do it too, so that makes it right," but I just want to make it known that we're not the only site that follows this practice.

Anyhow, I hope I answered your questions and regret that you had to post under Anonymous and thus I can't apologize to you personally. It does sadden me to lose any readers, and I hope that my explanation will keep you around for a bit longer :)
