SOE suspends 700 Everquest players

everquest

After a stern warning to unscrupulous Everquest players last week, Sony Online Entertainment made good on its threats. Seven hundred accounts were suspended today as Sony’s wrath rang out through Norrath.

“Remember that these suspensions are merely the first wave, and further action is on the horizon. We will not rest, but will instead continue to gather data and take action as necessary on behalf of the entire player base. Don’t cheat – it’s not worth it,” said Everquest community manager Piestro.
