Gold Farming -- With Heart.... ??

Donate your currency to charity!
Who would have thought you could help a charity by playing an online game?
Whether you are a hardcore player, a casual gamer, or just fed up with your online game, you can now help people in the need by donating your virtual wealth!

In partnership with Mercy Corps, IGE is now authorized to donate real money for humanitarian causes, in exchange for whatever virtual money you are willing to part with. On top of the going rate between your game currency and US dollars, IGE is donating an extra 10% to Mercy Corps.

How about playing a day for someone else?

Not that I don't thik it's a great cause and I'd even do it but I'm concerned about the legality of it. On WoW for example, if Blizzard hasn't okay'd it then it is still illegal to sell their property to IGE, right?

Um, no, not exactly, but close enough. It's a violation of your user contract, which is not exactly the same as "illegal." But, point well taken.

IGE is a POS. They are the king of CGFers. f'em.

You wanna donate? Write a check to the red cross. [img]smile.gif[/img] We donate to them and United Way every month or so (comes out of Donnas Paycheck). Every bit helps. Remember, Katrina victims are still in need.
