BBC NEWS | Technology | Gamers rally for Katrina support
Penny sent me this link; Quite wierd. While I quite agree with people (in this case Everquest 2 subscribers) wanting to donate to the Red Cross account, I still find it a little wierd that they’re being encouraged to do so without leaving the game.
Furthermore, in a truly magnanimous act, Sony is not going to bill people resident in the affected area until they log in again.
Wierd.

Vest addicts didn’t leave their homes during the flooding.
They just started up the Genny, kept the broadband connection going, put on a Mask & Snorkel & carried on playing.
And as for donations- what they getting people to contribute plat and then someone on eBay is converting the plat to dollars?!
