Was Allakahzam invited to the summit?Follow

I came here looking for Allakhazam's report on the summit, and don't see one. Was Allakhazam invited to the summit? If not, I'm very disappointed at Sony.

You mean the Summit which has been one of the bigger pieces of Everquest news over the last few weeks and has write ups on nearly every class board? That Summit?

That is disappointing that Sony didn't invite Allakhazam to the summit. This is perhaps the most visited of any Everquest related website, other than perhaps the official everquest website.

Other than the creation guides that are on casterrealms,I think that site isn't even in the same league as Alla's. That site has fallen into the cycle of never update anything.

try reading the creation guide for beastlords ir still says that they get there pets by summoning them

Yeah, and Woody from gucomics. I mean, the comics are cool and all but come on...

Another annoying thing is they invited some of the high posters from stratics and casters realm too.

They really like to pretend this site doesn't exist, don't they?

I consider this to be the website Verant/SOE should have provided for us, but didn't.

Sorry to hear for a fact that Allakahzam was not invited. Being that Allakahzam is a major website for fans of EQ, I can't help but feel the reason for the snub is a personal one. The Sony team must hold some sort of conflict with the owner to do this, and wished to impose its own disdainful rejection on Alla.

And yes, Alla's strong opposition to sales of characters and items for rl money comes to mind. Given how Sony is now trying to gain fees from such sales. Of course, there may be other reasons that are unknown to the public, but nevertheless, this happened for a reason.

If Sony feels this is the right thing to do--to snub a major website over something personal at the expense of communicating with the fans who support Allakahzam, then I don't think the summit is really true to its purported spirit of communicating with the EQ player community.

Rather, I now feel the summit is tainted, and more likely a public relationship stunt to cajole many class sites and uber guilds into being Sony spokespeople. Sigh.

Truthfully, I think they just forgot. We get along fine with Sony. They have just never quite figured out how to peg us, as we are not really a news site. I have a feeling they just didn't think of us when they were making up a list of news sites.

If not Alla, they should have invited Calimyr and Tehom.

Missed an opportunity there, they did.

Bah Samira, you wouldn't be there for nothing yourself.

not cool.

I really do hope it was an oversight. If there is one website well suited to representing a wide range of players it's Alla's. We will see if this really was the case next time they hold one of these "regularly occuring summits". In any case shame on you SOE.
