This is certainly no defense of Feba, but you guys keep telling him to prove that Allakhazam and IGE are owned by the same parent company. Alla himself said that Allakhazam was bought out by a parent comapny that owned a bunch of other companies *including* IGE. Feba has nothing to prove here.

Actually, yes he does. He keeps insisting that this site will now promote RMT simply because its owned by a parent company that also owns an RMT company.

He still has yet to explain how other companies can make business moves and stick to their original morales, yet this one can't.

I know. Feba is saying Mystery Company = IGE, which hasn't been proven. I want to believe if, but I want to keep some itty bitty faith in Allakhaza's judgement, for now.

This is a sad day indeed. Premium membership was a future goal of mine and my wife, but was is now the operative word. Alla how could you. I know you think your helping but look around. Everyone<well mostly everyone> is deadset against this. Why continue? Isn't the happiness of your users more important. I mean like others have said your site was the #1 site for info because we came here to give it out the minute it was found. You don't need more cash to make something you already had. Your soul belongs to the people who promote and fund RMT. That includes MPK's on legit NM hunters, that includes people being banned because Rmters call Gms on the rival hunters. You now belong to cheaters. I have used this site for a long time. No fancy title or countless posts but i still have found any and all info from here. I guess that i will have to find a new site. Good luck on this merger and hopefully your get what you want. /sigh

I still do not understand why everyone is flying off the deep end about this. You guys are leaving, swearing up and down that the site is going to become one big IGE advertisement, without even knowing for sure that that's the case. Why not wait a while, give it time, find out where the site is going and what changes are going to be made, and THEN decide whether or not to leave? You're taking the 1/5th of the story you know and running with it, making drastic decisions based on scraps of information. The logical thing to do would be to wait and see for yourself. But I guess logic is dead around here.

I too remember Allakhazam's post that they would not be a part of ANYTHING IGE. After reading some lengthy posts, namely http://wow.azzor.com/445/truth_about_IGE.php, it seems they finally were able to offer him his price. Everyone has a price, I had hoped Allakhazam's to be too high to be reached, alas I seem to have been mistaken.

I used Allakhazam's free services before I went premium for a long time. I will be doing so again, as I will not support any company that has ties to IGE/Yantis.

Hopefully Allakhazam will rethink his choice to merge based on his subscribers feedback. I will be waiting for such a response.

Lets clarify something else, my red car doesnt own my blue car, but if i get drunk and run over pedestrians in my red car, the owner of my blue car ran over the very same pedestrians too.

and FYI Phillip Morris doesnt run "truth" ads because they want to. It's government ordered. There's no reason to support Alla anymore. There's no information on this site that isn't also available elsewhere on the internet without supporting the desruction of games.

I don't get why some people here are still blindly denying the IGE connection. Alla himself said it on the first page of this thread:



The company that owns the other sites Alla mentioned: Ogaming and Thottbot, is RPG Holdings, owned and founded by Brock Pierce, who also owns and founded IGE. His company, RPG Holdings, is a holdings company (obviously), which is to say their business is to claim ownership over other companies. An umbrella, if you will. So IGE, Allakhazam, Thottbot, OGaming, MySupersales, and other companies acquired by RPG Holdings are all going to be under the same corporate umbrella, all owned by Brock Pierce of IGE. It's no secret that RPG Holdings is the company at the root of this acquisition. There is only one company that owns IGE, OGaming and Thottbot. It now owns Allakhazam. 2 + 2 = 4.

My first reaction was to turn off my auto renew and not return. Upon reading many many posts, both by Allakhazam and by many others in the community, I advocate a wait and see approach. I am not so blind as to think that many products I buy are not in some way related to things I do not approve of. I am sad that Allakhazam may now be one of those things but such is the way of things.

In my years of lurking on the EQ boards, I have been pleasantly surprised by the things availible here and by Allakhazam himself. Truly I believe that in this case, he is seeing the world through rose colored glasses. But sometimes thigs DO work out for the best. I am willing to take Alla's word for it until I see a good reason not to. I have not seen that reason as yet nor am I likely to on these boards.

There's plenty of proof out there, if you want to go look. Go look up Yantis, IGE, RPG Holdings, Brock Peirce.

that lame argument again.



And you act like none of your friends have ver bought gil

I say good for you Alla, I met you at EQ fanfaire years ago and we were drinking at the party that casters realm guy had and had a hell of a time.

I will be more than happy to renew my sub to this fine site, you and Illia really raised the bar of these type of sites, and worked your asses off to make this happen and were able to find some good, dedicated people to work with you to pull this all together for the last few years.

What matters to me is this fine site (which has slowed to the pace of a snail on salt) will get faster, better and intergrate with my other favorite site (thottbot)

Good luck to you alla I wish you continuing success could not have happened to a nicer guy (besides me of course LOL) ..

I have always felt the majority of your posting community has sucked, and I dont post here just for that reason neither does I would say 90 percent of the rest of your members.. Let the little dweebs beat their chest and cancel their accounts hopefully it will raise the bar of the quality of posts around here and get rid of the shark like attacks of this community over any issue they can find.. A reasonable discussion is above the majority and I find them and most people that I have talked to find their venomous attacks far more offensive than anyone selling gold as they are being jerks without even getting paid for it.
