More than a few people are angry about SOE's decision to introduce RMT into EverQuest and EverQuest II. So how do you stop the protests and complaints? You create specific RMT items where the proceeds go directly to charity:
"SOE and our players have been staunch supporters of this charity since 2003, and with the integration of Station Cash into our online games, teaming up with Child's Play for this online campaign was an easy decision," says John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment, in his company's press release."
"SOE will be contributing to their efforts by offering the Child's Play Guktan Shield Ornamentation in EverQuest® and Child's Play Bouncing Baby Bear Cub in EverQuest® II for sale, with proceeds benefitting the charity. SOE will donate $10 to the Child's Play charity for each Station Cash purchase of these items made between January 20 and February 20, 2009."
Who can argue against RMT for charity! And once you buy a cute bouncing bear to support an excellent charity it makes that next non-charity RMT purchase that much easier and guilt free. Bait & Hook.
Who (besides Colbert) could resist such a cute cuddly digital RMT bear for only $10:
