San Diego wildfires affect EQ II customer support

To anyone living in Southern California, fire has become a season of sorts. I know when I lived there, just about every year we would be plagued with horrible raging blazes, and this year is no exception. There are several fires burning through the region at the moment, and one in particular is located in San Diego, is burning dangerously close to the Sony Online Entertainment offices in that city. For that reason, the company issued this statement regarding their customer service:

In-Game support is in limited operation due to wildfires in the San Diego area, but response time may be delayed. Account and Technical Support is unavailable. We will keep you updated with any changes in the situation and appreciate your understanding.

I can't imagine gamers playing EverQuest II will really make a fuss over having to deal with a little delay in getting through to someone. After all, it is just a game, right? And people's lives are in jeopardy here. Let's hope the fires are put out soon, for the sake of the staff, and the sake of the players of the game.
