The World of Warcraft community is in an uproar over a $90 mount. Amid this backdrop, another Blizzard initiative was somewhat overlooked.
A charity donation item has been unveiled for World of Warcraft — “The Reven Pack” is now on sale for $20. As the developers explained, 100% of the proceeds from the purchase of each pack will be donated to CureDuchenne (excluding funds related to chargebacks, refunds, and value-added taxes and other similar taxes paid).
The store description notes that “The Reven Pack” was inspired by the story of a player with a severe condition:
“[the pack is] inspired by the story featured in the documentary ‘The Remarkable Life of Ibelin’. The film tells the story of Mats Steen (Ibelin) — a Norwegian WoW player who suffered from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. All* proceeds from the sales of ‘The Reven Pack’ will go to the non-profit organization CureDuchenne, a global leader in research, patient care, and improving and extending the lives of individuals with this progressive muscle-wasting disease.”
“Reven” means “the fox” in Norwegian
