    That's true. I know this because I'm an Everquest developer (or "Everquester," as I like to be called) and it is clearly spelled out in our employment agreement.

    However, when I usually get the call to implement some "extra content" for such a player, I usually conjure up some level-150 Warjords. That will teach the players to leave the box I've built for them.

    Sincerely,
    Seth Finklestein
    Everquester Level 54

    "We were surprised to peek inside SOE's customer service department, only to find a hoarde of wraiths feeding on human flesh and screaming to shut the door..."

    Seriously, their customer support sucks. At least it did a little bit ago, and ... well I'm still bitter.
