Paid $100,000 for EQ.com — EverQuest site

Ever since Afternic posted a sale of $100,000 for the domain EQ.com, I’ve been curious regarding who ponied up that cash for the domain. The answer is in your browser: EQ.com forwards to IGE.com, a firm that facilitates buying and selling of virtual goods from massively multiplayer online game (MMOGs or MMPORGs). EQ stands for EverQuest, one of the most popular MMOGs of all time.

The previous owner was Laserlight Publishing, which marketed a book called The EQ Factor. EQ stood for Entrepreneurial Quotient.
