You people are totally confused. I played Everquest for 3.5 years and I had to pay extra for every single expansion. Everquest has had at least 13 expansions and none of them were free content. Secondly Everquest doesn't have anywhere near 1000 zones. It's more like 200 zones if that many. Also I doubt Everquest has anywhere near 500,000 subscribers. At its peak Everquest had around 800,000 subscribers and that number began dropping in 2004 when they released the GoD expansion and then it plummeted further when WoW came out. In 2005 they had to get rid of half their servers because they had lost so many subscribers. Did you people actually play Everquest or are you just making stuff up?
It wasn't some OS vendors. 1024 = 1K, when referring to memory, has been used for at least 30 years. When I bought my first Apple II in 1978 it had 64KB of memory. I knew that it really had 65,536 bytes not 64,000. When computers came with 1MB of memory everyone knew that it really meant 1,048,576 bytes not 1,000,000. The confusion began when some marketing scumbag figured out he could scam people into thinking that hard drives had more storage than they really had. Now because of it we have to deal with nonsense terms like Gibibytes. I'm happy that Seagate got sued and lost and now has to pay millions of dollars. They deserve it.
