Anyone been following this the past few days? It's interesting, apparently Allakhazam sold out to "IGE's parent company", and... well, I'll give you the links to see for yourself rather than restating it all.

Discussion about this (not 100% confirmed info):

I'm still undecided, though it's interesting to me that they confirm IGE/Ogaming bought Thottbot just as an incidental. Certainly, with the myriad of unethical practices and methods IGE has used before, I wouldn't put it past them to set up a shell company to make IGE and the gaming sites look separate.

What's most interesting to me, if its true, is the statement in Azzor that SOE was paying EQInterface 10k a month to keep them from being bought by IGE.

Big fish eats little fish....nothing suprising about this to me =/

I have always preferred Thottbot to Alla's. Then again back in EQ I always preferred EQlizer to Alla's too. Maybe its because the guy who owned Alla was a PSU fan and I am a FSU fan =)

Well Thottbot and Allakhazam are both owned by the same entity now, so... :P
