lol, But at least they are donated 50% to charity, but i mean has anyone noticed how they are coming out with more and more stuff just to get people to buy stuff that puts pixels on our screen ? lol
race transfer
faction transfer
character re-custom.
now... pet buying ;000
o i forgot name change ;0
wow starting loot look more and more like the free to play games you see out there ;(
As long as it's not something that gives beneficial bonuses in game like 20 stam or something, then I could care less what they sell. The minute they start requiring people to buy items to compete is the moment this game goes to ****.
The monk does make some funny sounds when you click on him though.
Actually I think the fact that they are donating half the sale to Make-A-Wish is great.
I think I'll be getting some Lil KT's:

Hah! That's awesome! I sent the links to my pet-collecting girlfriend with the question, "so, are you about to become $20 poorer?" The reply was a simple, unpunctuated "YES". :)
I love the idea of micro-transaction for non-competitive junk, though I haven't indulged in WoW yet. In Champions Online, I wanted a hockey mask for my second Nemesis so I sprung for the Halloween costume pack. That's the only thing I wanted from it and the only thing I used, but the fact that I could get my way without relying on luck or burning hours of grinding -- legally -- is totally appealing. More! More!
Beat me to it! :DQuote:

What i DO wonder, tho, is this is a company with 6 million subs, and they have *27* prizes for the anniversary?
C'mon.
At the very least, start throwing in-game stuff around as prizes - forget the headphones and mousepads or whatever, start giving away phoenix mounts, or a special edition chrome proto-drake, or a gold plated sircon encrusted 22 slot bag or two. They're FREE. Throw some goodies into random loot tables for the month, or add some to the boss loot tables.
They're not even giving away enough stuff to get 1 person on every server.
Heck, throw some of those nifty loot card items out there. You don't even need to design them, you just generate some codes.
Yes, I know, we all get a mini-Onyxia, which is cool, but c'mon, splurge with the prizes a little. Put an NPC in Dalaran and all of the major cities, and once a day you get to spin a wheel, or pull a slip of paper from a box or something, and give away everything from vanity pets to ore to gems, epic gems, weapons, mounts, everything.
But noooo. *27* prizes. Among 6 million. Yeah. Whoop whoop.
lol at china going offline, but i mean... how did they do that!
Sony had for purchase items for EQ and EQ2 last year at Christmas. I think it was like $10 or something for an ingame bear cub with the money going to Child's Play. We bought 2. I can always support something like that.
