 The MMORPG database network of Allakhazam was purchased by the company behind IGE to very mixed reactions. The company behind IGE has purchased
Allakhazam, a popular database features many mmo's such as World of
Warcraft and Everquest 2. IGE is mostly known for gold selling, and
well, I can't say that the acquisition of
Allakhazam was taken very well.
Allakhazam is pleased to announce
that we have added several new sites to our network and have joined
them together to form the Zam.com Network which is now instantly the
leading content destination for all MMO gamers.
The new
Zam.com Network will consist of newly expanded and improved versions
of Allakhazam.com and Thottbot.com. In addition, the assets and
content of OGaming.com (and the interface sites) and L2Orphus.com
will be integrated into the existing Allakhazam network. This will
add multiple new games to our site, more than double our personnel
and give us the flexibility to add more features, better service and
expanded coverage.
In the coming months, we will be upgrading
our server infrastructure, expanding our news and editorial coverage,
adding sites for more games, and designing even better database
services. We are committed to making this the premier destination for
the entire MMORPG community. from

There are numerous responses to the
business deal, most of which are rather inflammatory:
So Allakhazam finally sold out? Not
surprising, hard to resist when a multi-million dollar corporation
throws hundreds of thousands of dollars at you. I'm sure you will be
well taken care of Allakhazam, while earning a hefty paycheck every
month.
I am sorry to hear that
Allah. I have been premium for years not because I needed the extra
goodies, but because I wanted to do my tiny bit to help you keep this
site going. But I have a hatred of gold sellers and division or no
division, you still have to pay homage to the head honchos.
Good
luck with this, and I hope it allows you to turn this site into the
premier MMORPG site that you dreamed it to be. I fear that you sold
out to the devil to do it though.
Among many other heated responses.
It's interesting to see how big of a divide there is between mmorpg
players on this particular issue, and how quick the insults fly when
something doesn't go to the exact way of thinking on that.
