[MMO-Champion] Introducing the Pet Store - Overclock.net

NrGx · 2 Weeks Ago

Okay now the reason I posted this was that 50% of your purchase goes to the Make-A-Wish foundation so if you want to buy a pet, buy one before the 31st of December.

Today we’re pleased to introduce the Pet Store for World of Warcraft, a new way for players to obtain in-game pets to join them on their adventures in Azeroth. Two brand-new companions are now available for purchase exclusively at the Pet Store in the online Blizzard Store: Lil’ K.T. and the Pandaren Monk.

Make a Difference: Pandaren Monk Charity Pet
Enter the Pandaren Monk, ( http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=1100000763 ) a martial-arts expert who’s here to help celebrate the upcoming fifth anniversary of World of Warcraft. He may be cute, but he’s proof that even the softest of critters can overcome the hardest of circumstances. For every Pandaren Monk that finds its way to a player’s side between now and the end of the year (December 31, 2009 at 11:59 PDT), we’ll donate 50 percent of the $10 purchasing price to the Make-a-Wish Foundation in an effort to brew up a little hope, strength, and joy in a child’s life.

Lil’ K.T., the Littlest Lich
Lil’ K.T. is a miniature lich who bears a striking resemblance to the legendary lord of Naxxramas, Kel’Thuzad. But don’t let his diminutive stature fool you: Lil’ K.T. has a diabolical laugh and wields true power at his bony fingertips, randomly wreaking icy havoc on critters who dare to cross his path. You can now buy this new pet for $10 on the Blizzard Store. (http://us.blizzard.com/store/ )

In order to receive a purchased pet, you’ll need to merge your World of Warcraft account with a Battle.net account. For more information on Battle.net, please visit the FAQ.

At least it is going to a charity and isn't some way for Blizzard to make some extra money.

EDIT - Well they do make a little bit but still, nice to give to a charity.

Why do I have this irresistible urge to buy 'Lil K.T...

Kind of reminds me of when Richard got shrunk in "LFG"... if anyone knows what I'm talking about

Why don't they give all the money to charity? It's not like It actually
cost them to make an ingame item and It's not like they haven't made
hundreds of millions on WoW or anything.

I agree to a degree....but then I can't help but think to myself, who am I to judge. I mean it's not like I give half of my annual bonus check to charity or donate my time every weekend to a charity. When I look at it that way it makes me respect their efforts more.

The thing is half your annual bonus isn't comparable to a mesh and a texture in
a game that a artist can make in 2 hours. Plus the fact they are worth billions.
I respect that they are doing something, I just don't like how every something
HAS to contain profit. Even when It's for a good cause. Get what I mean?

Look at it this way, they didn't have to give to charity at all if they didn't want to. I swear, you try to do something nice yet someone will always find a reason to complain.

I offered an opinion. I wasn't complaining... so get off the high horse please.
