UPDATE: Triple Station Cash is slated to run from 12:01 AM PDT through 11:59 PM PST on November 4, 2012.
Sony Online Entertainment was planning a triple Station Cash event near the end of October, but postponed it due to hurricane Sandy. On October 30, John Smedley, president of SOE, announced:
We were going to run a surprise Triple Station Cash promotion tomorrow. Due to the horrible storm and our East Coast players being impacted ... we are going to move that promotion to this upcoming Sunday November 4th. We normally do not announce these, but under these conditions we ... decided it was the right thing to do. Smed
UPDATE: Linda "Brasse" Carlson tweeted: "RT @neodraykl: @Brasse @j_smedley What’s eligible for the triple promotion? SC cards or online purchases? [Everything except SMS!]" This means that both retail Station Cash cards and credit cards will be eligible for this promotion.
Sony Online Entertainment has announced a four-hour maintenance on Monday, October 29, beginning at 4:00 AM Pacific.

There was something different about the keynote address at SOE Live this year. It wasn’t Linda’s resplendent beard or the sense of anticipation in the audience; it was the sense that a new direction was being undertaken.
Of course there was information on the new expansions for both EverQuests, the new DLC 6 with Player Lairs for DCUO -- an interview with Jens Andersen and Larry Liberty coming this week -- the release date for PlanetSide 2 and the explanation of what has happened to EverQuest Next. There was plenty to digest, but it was the air of determination to make the year ahead for SOE something to make the industry take note that stood out that night.
As John Smedley put it, EverQuest had changed the industry 13 years ago and SOE wanted to do it again.
It was with the keynote fresh in my mind that I sat down with SOE’s president and asked him about the plan for the future.

Fancy yourself a designer? If so, SOE is opening the door for you.
We were being teased on twitter last night by John Smedley and now we know why.
It was announced just moments ago via a press release that SOE is launching their Player Studio:
"For the first time in SOE history, players will be able to build and sell their own items, truly creating a unique, customizable online marketplace within our games," said John Smedley, President, Sony Online Entertainment. "At SOE, we believe everyone is a gamer at heart, and our goal with Player Studio is to provide a platform on which our players can further explore their inner gamer while showcasing their passion for the games they love. We are looking forward to seeing our players' creativity come to life in an entirely new way."
