Magelo subscription is ~$12/year (for a "certified" profile, manually updated is free I think) and allows up to 3 accounts iirc (is subject to downtime following patches.) Rankings via EQRankings. Alla's ~$30.00 / year and (as far as I can tell) offers all the stuff EQPlayers does plus You can "search for upgrades" once you have your chars data imported. You also get easier access to a very large database of quests which EQPlayers does not provide. (hehe added bonus - 10% off at EBGames and a subscription to Computer Gaming World.) Both of the above don't have the "first hand" data that SOE has, so some of the info may not be accurate. Personal opinion - I give Magelo / Alla's money they deliver a product. When bugs are found they fix problems as soon as they can. I give SOE money and they deliver the product. From previous history (EQ/EQ2/SWG) - When bugs are found they will fix the problem as soon as they can provided it doesn't interefere with the release of the next expansion and you are VERY vocal about it. So, imho, EQPlayers isn't worth the price. I also wouldn't be surprised if it went the way of EQIM.

My main is a 70 cleric who regularly raids Anguish-level targets, so I decided to look for upgrades which I had heard come from DemiPlane of Blood in DoD expansion. The plate armor upgrade for clerics is called "* of the Fallen Saint", so I checked both databases for this on 15 February. AK showed five pieces, with stats / drop source / discussion thread. EQP showed two pieces, with stats but no source or discussion. As of this post (28 February), EQP still shows only three pieces still and does not have the Cuirass -- although the NUMBER ONE ranked warrior in all of Everquest according to the EQP leaderboards is WEARING the Cuirass in his profile. It is obvious that EQP needs serious work before it will be worth using for anything more than comparing your gear to that worn by other players who choose to update their profiles. Paying for the EQP service at this time is a complete waste of your money.
