Can I post about EQ II on alt.games.everquest?
If the post pertains only to EQ II, it would be better to post it on alt.games.everquest2, or on Sony’s EQ2 forums. Posts comparing EQ II to EQ Live are fair game, just like comparisons to any other MMORPG. If you do post here about EQ II, it’s considered polite to include EQ2 somewhere in the subject to make sure people know which game you’re talking about. If you don’t, you should accept your inevitable chastisement. For a while, some folks marked posts about EverQuest Live (the “original” EverQuest) with “EQ1”, but this practice dropped off once most EQ2 traffic moved elsewhere. Note: If you do put “EQ2” (or “EQ1”) in your subject, don’t immediately follow it with a colon (as in, Subject: EQ2: Newbie questions). It seems some news-reading tools (e.g., Outlook) assume anything in front of the colon must be the equivalent of “Re:” in some foreign language, so the EQ2 part might get discarded from the subject when people reply to your post. 7.
