We Are Humbled Beyond Measure

picture-1$5000 by January 5th? /pfft You people sure showed her! To everybody who’s donated, your WoW-karma just shot through the roof. Your drops shall be Epic and plentiful.

To those who haven’t, now’s a great time to push that number more towards the $10,000 mark, and have a chance to have your WoW paid for, for as long as you play.

/sniff

Y’all make us all verklempt with your kindness and generosity.

    Nice, BRK. My donation will happen on the first.

    $10,000? Hey, plenty of time to hit that, and more.

  2. Lei on December 28th, 2008 2:23 pm

    Nice!
    I think $10,000 is reachable, too.

    They’re apparently now randomly giving away 2 lifetime (!!!!!!!!!) passes to WoW to a randomly chosen person who has donated over $25. Full story on wowinsider (www.wow.com).

  4. Different Spencer on December 28th, 2008 2:31 pm

    I misread. 3 one year timecards, one lifetime card.

    /fixed.

  5. BLDCROW on December 28th, 2008 4:24 pm

    The rate theyre going, they could hit 20,000+ easy. It’s already at 9000 something and going….Spread the love guys.

  6. Jageria on December 28th, 2008 5:17 pm

    I think my donation pushed it over the $10k mark!

  7. Zandilar on December 28th, 2008 6:25 pm

    The thing that bothers me about the whole thing is that Blizzard doesn’t seem to be involved directly at all.

  8. Rotseh on December 28th, 2008 8:19 pm

    Verklempt? LOL

  9. Lee on December 28th, 2008 8:46 pm

    Hey guys, i linked this to facebook around 4:30eastern time today. I am really hoping that’ll push things over. I already saw one friend put it into newsfeed!

  12. Stang on December 29th, 2008 2:19 am

  13. Dread on December 29th, 2008 2:39 am

  15. Fahr & Bacon on December 29th, 2008 9:51 am

    Nice! Over $14K now. A great cause BRK, and I would SO love to get one of those 3 (so far) lifetime of WoW cards to boot. :-)

    Darwin weeps.

  17. falcon on December 29th, 2008 10:21 am

  18. Drayna on December 29th, 2008 10:30 am

    14,780!!!

    GO GO $15,000!!!

  19. Barkle on December 29th, 2008 10:41 am

    @Zandilar

    I would be surprised if Blizzard did give her the game cards free/cheap. I would be surprised if Blizzard had not donated something to the cause.

    However, this isn’t Blizzards cause. It is Katherine Allen’s. Katherine is raising money, not Blizzard. Blizzard shouldn’t be involved, it would defeat the purpose.

    @The Elitist Jerk

    Darwin Weeps?

    Unless I totally don’t get your sarcasm….. I will apologize. However, I think you intend to reference the most famous “Survival of the fittest”?

    So, you really are a SOB. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest any hair on your body that you have.

  21. zwingli on December 29th, 2008 1:07 pm

    Sweet. It has reached over $16k.

    Z

  22. Lei on December 29th, 2008 2:25 pm

    Over $16,500 now..
    I think this well deserves a shout out on the next podcast if you havn’t recorded it yet Sir BRK!

  23. Berg on December 29th, 2008 7:08 pm

    Hmmm. So gamers are out of touch socially and only care about the game they play! Looks like another urban myth has been proven wrong. ;-)

  24. Alphakhan on December 29th, 2008 9:29 pm

    $18,000…

    Never mind 10,000, go for 50k!

  25. Dar on December 29th, 2008 11:22 pm

  26. Dar on December 29th, 2008 11:24 pm

    Wonderful Even..love when IE will not let you Edit

  27. Stang on December 30th, 2008 12:20 am

    Well, gg guys, as of this writing we’re approaching twenty thousand dollars. That is wicked awesome, to put it mildly.

    And BRK… Whatever you’re doing today better be in tomorrow’s writings. I feel left out of the loop -.-

  28. Stang on December 30th, 2008 2:57 am

    Scratch that: We has twenty-k dollars. That’s four times the original amount. That’s HUGE! Fantastically HUGE! Well done guys. For the cure!

  29. Zwingli on December 30th, 2008 9:10 am

    Well, we are sitting right over $21K so far. That is so cool!

    Now, I’m either stupid, or I’m getting old and missing stuff. How do we leave a comment on that page after we donate? I can’t find a comment button anywhere.

    /facepalm

    Zwingli

  30. kunukia on December 30th, 2008 9:42 am

    Woohoo, over $21,000!

    Gogo team!

  31. Zahngril on December 30th, 2008 11:39 am

    @ Zwingli

    There is a button/check box at the bottom of the donation page that opens a message box where you can leave comments.

  32. Fahr & Bacon on December 30th, 2008 12:27 pm

    Over $22,00 and we haven’t even hit the new year. This is just absolutely fantastic. For all of you that have donated:

    /target
    /salute

    For those who wish they had the money, I encourage you to donate just a little anyway, there is still an intrinsic reward in giving just a little when that’s all you can give.

    Thanks BRK for bringing this to our attention.

  33. Zwingli on December 30th, 2008 2:42 pm

    @ Zahngril

    Thanks ever so much!

    Oh well, it seems I missed my chance. I donated, and didn’t check the box to leave the message/comment. Good luck for those smart enough to figure that part out. :)

  34. BLDCROW on December 31st, 2008 3:05 am
