Interesting read on slashdot.net regarding SOE in light of the Play Station Network breach. This potentially impacts almost all players on P99 as most would have had an account on the SOE systems in order to play Everquest on the live servers. It could involve anything from personal information to credit card data. Please feel free to wildly speculate..

"Sony Online Entertainment's various services seem to be down and a message on the official site does not give much information on the particulars.

This is the first we have heard that Sony's MMORPG arm had some sort of security breach. This could be part of Sony's plans to beef up security for the PlayStation Network, but this message seems to indicate that something more serious going on."
