Hurricane Katrina has left an incredible wake of destruction across the Mid-Atlantic States. Sony Online Entertainment would like to ask you to take a moment to make a donation to the American Red Cross in order to help alleviate some of the suffering.<

In EverQuest II we have added the /donate command, type in /donate to be taken to the American Red Cross’s Hurricane 2005 relief page. For those members of SOE Communities in other games, you can contribute using this link, American Red Cross. The American Red Cross will process your donation and make sure that it is put to maximum use to help those whose lives have been affected by the hurricane.<

I just don't understand the /donate command. You read about it before logging in but you can't just go to the redcross's website yourself you have to log into eq2 and type /donate? Thats the most fucking retarded shit ever. <i></i>

Honestly, you could say the same about the /pizza command. But at least they're doing something. If they get a few people with that, then thats that much more money for the Red Cross. <i></i>

Sure it seems silly, but I don't see any reason to fault a company for making it a bit easier to donate. Who cares, really?<

They also have a link for you click that takes you directly to the website before you log into the game at the patch screen. The /donate is for the ones that find out about it in game through chat, or people too lazy to go to the website themselves. <i></i>
