Buy a WoW Mini-pet to Help Japan's Earthquake Recovery
Better ripe than never: Sidesplitter players who want an adorable spoil flying eagle-horse-reindeer-thing as a familiar can help Japanese relief efforts at the same time.
Though the global May get turned its attention to other things these days, the nation of Japanese Islands is still rebuilding after the ruinous earthquake and tsunami that hit last Marchland. Gamers and developers similar have banded put together to help financially, and WoW maker Snowstorm is finally throwing its hat into the ring to do the same with a special in-game pet.
The little Cenarion Hatchling pet is a miniature reading of the hippogryphs (hippogriffs? Clap, I hate that word) already in the mettlesome as flying mounts and monsters. It's cute as the proverbial dickens, and leave tent flap around rear your role wherever he or she goes.
The Hatchling will flow players $10, and once purchased will give the slim pet to all characters – past, present and future – on a World of Warcraft account. 100% of the sales will be donated to Red Cross substitute efforts in Japan. Considering that WoW players previously raised $1.1 million along sales of the Pandaren Monk in-bet on pet – of which only $5 went to charity per sales agreement – one and only can only assume that this bequeath result in a lot of money where it's requisite.
I love this new pet, and information technology's for a great movement, if a little bit slow happening the uptake – let it never personify said that Blizzard was quick to act, after all. My only (small-scale) disappointment is that I'd have loved something more Japanese-themed, like the hats Valve added to TF2. Perchance a favored tanuki or cardinal-tailed fox?
OH, I know – Blizzard should have called Studio Ghibli and gotten permission to create an in-game pet modeled after Totoro. I would bear bought, equivalent, ten of those.
