Please Lend a Helping Hand in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina

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. 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.

For our 13,000+ players in the affected areas, we will be suspending billing until such time as they are able to play again. In addition, any items or structures in any of our games that decay over time will be preserved until the user's next login.

Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.

The SOE Family

Wow - thats pretty darn nice of them

Since when are Louisiana and Mississippi "Mid Atlantic States"?  I thought Mid-Atlantic was PA/NJ/MD etc.

I did, too.  Now I'm confused.  I'm in NJ, so where am I?

I googled and El Gallo is right.  I'm in a Mid-Atlantic shitter.

I have been wondering what region Texas is considered. We're not quite "South", and we're not really "Southwest".  South Central?

Is "Hick Country" a valid designation?

Texas is huge.  I would say that part of it is South West and Part of it is South East.  There ya go.  Happy now?

I would consider El Paso to be a South West shitter.

I would consider El Paso to be a South West shitter drain.

South Central is most technically and geographically accurate.

Culturally it's all over the map -- connected to Mexico, the Southwest, the Great Plains, the Deep South, the Gulf Coast.

After having lived here 20 years, I think Texans like to think of themselves as Texans first and foremost, and see Texas as its own region rather than part of any larger region.

This probably isn't the first time I've posted this, but..
