Blizzard Makes WoW Wish Virtual Reality

This is the best thing I have read in weeks! A child with a with a wish, and what a wish it was! I am proud to call WoW my favorite game!

When the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, an organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening cases, came calling two weeks ago, Chatterton knew exactly what he wanted.

"I wished for a trip to Blizzard because I'd like to see if they could make a character and do some things for us."

Chatterton didn't think his wish would come true. He's starting treatment today. And, at most, he thought it could just be a video conference call. But when he found out Blizzard was nearby, and willing, Chatterton became the envy of the 8.5 million World of Warcraft players worldwide. He not only got the chance to tour the company, but to create something new for the game.

How nice is that - I'm very impressed.

I hope everything goes well for the kid - sounds like he's got some great memories to keep him sustained between seeing his dad and playing the game!

That is just great that Blizzard would do that for the poor kid. I hope that his dream came true, and I will be looking for his items in game!
