Comment I'm not returning to SOE (Score 1) 66

If chat logs were handed over to someone who is not SOE, then this transaction is a huge breach of privacy. Phone numbers, addresses, userids and passwords, admisison of illegal acts (smoking pot, drinking underage, sex underage, etc) all of these things are surely in the chat logs. I cancelled my EQ2 subscription about 3 weeks ago because of my own financial concerns. (The economy bites, if you hadn't noticed.) I told my guild about it and that I intended to return once it looks like I had some stability in my economic situation (no rent increases, no layoffs at work, etc). This announcement, though... it guarantees that I won't be returning to EQ2. I think I'm ready to swear off SOE offerings altogether. Is it time that we went back to pc gaming without network ties? That's what I've been doing with my playtime since cancelling my online subscription. I've rediscovered some old favorites. Maybe a smart game studio will see this change as a developing trend to take advantage of. I'm ready for more (good) pc games. When's the last time that you saw a dungeon delver where you got to fully customize your entire party for its adventure? The last I can remember is Wizardry 8 which released back in 2001. I guess it's time to pull it off my dusty shelf and install it for more fun game time without exposing my personal habits so somebody else can profit from selling my information.
