Hopefully you’re already aware of this, but if not I wanted to remind you: The Big Bear Butt Blogger is running a holiday raffle benefiting Child’s Play, the gamer-driven charity.
Child’s Play is a really cool thing in and of itself, and this raffle is a great way to reward people for who donate. Basically all you do is donate to Child’s Play either via PayPal or Amazon, then e-mail BBB a copy of your donation receipt. And voila! He enters you into the raffle. Raffle prizes include a 2009 Petopia calendar, a WoW TCG loot card, T-shirts, and the absolute coolest prize ever — a WoW class icon quilt. Yes, a quilt. With the class icon of your class of choice. Is that not cool?
This is one of those things I really should have posted about before now, but … it’s been a busy month. :> Anyway, BBB has extended the raffle until Monday morning, so if you haven’t donated to Child’s Play yet, do it now! And if you have already, make sure to send him your receipt so he can enter you in the raffle!
omg first comment!!!! my first comment eva!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations! Now go donate. :>
Ooo, that sounds fun! I may have to do that. I want that quilt. X3
Also, this has nothing to do with anything, but I thought I might tell you anyway: I noticed you have “Bloodshot”, a level 54 untameable gray wolf, listed as being in Blade’s Edge Mountains. He’s actually in Western Plaguelands. ^.^
Also briefly hijacking the thread…
While running Utgarde Keep earlier, I noticed that the Savage Worgs(lv70) in the instance are tamable according to Beast Lore. Since they occur in both brown and gray during the instance, I’m going to assume they’re a colorchanger, but I don’t know for sure yet. If no one beats me to the punch, I’ll try to get a group in the next day or two and grab one to find out.
BW is still on the GC and {GC} keeps saying that its fixed. Wow I really wish Blizzard employees actually played the game they are supposed to be programing. I still have yet to find one that plays a hunter as a main. And by play I mean take part in aspects of the game, not have a character pre lvled to 80 then play with it for 20 minutes at a time and then say nothings wrong with it. Blizzard seriously needs to attend the needs of its gamers. I have already canceled my account, because of this and other bigger issues, i.e. shadow-meld becoming a vanish/feign death racial, AV having lvl 60-80 in the same battleground, and many other things that have wreaked this game class/race wise. Its just not fun anymore if you don’t even have the chance to accomplish a task. Games after all are supposed to be fun.
Sorry for taking up this form but blizzard banned me and two other players from the form recently because we kept bringing up serious flaws in the game. It is really disgraceful what they did. We were just trying to improve the game to the way its supposed to be, not make radical new ideas and whine until they implemented them. It really is ridiculous that it has come to this. We were completely civil with the GM’s and used no profanity or trolling. And they banned us anyways.
Again sorry for taking up this form. Plz check MMO-Champion Blue Tracker while they still have them up with the GM comments. Some will make you laugh.
I rarely do this,and I could get banned here,but…eh,here goes.
@Anonymous-
This is the wrong site to post QQ posts.This is a pet-lover’s site,through and through…no QQ’ing about anything other than pets,that is..lol.
I believe your talking about Arena and such,and frankly,I don’t play those aspects of WoW…I’m happy running around Azeroth and such sticking my nose in places I really shouldn’t…Zul’Durak at 71?……but fun!
On topic,I found this amusing..
“We were just trying to improve the game to the way its supposed to be”
I believe you meant to say..
“We were just trying to improve the game to the way I and my friends think it’s supposed to be”
It amazes me how many people think their ideas are SOOO much better than the actual people who make them.pffft!
In closing,thank you for your post,now go away.

*Laughs and pets Kitairra* No worries, my friend, if we got banned for blasting people, I’d have been gone long ago. And in all due honesty, you are right. This is not the place, nor even the post for such things. If you want, head over to the forums, but that sort of side-tracking isn’t appreciated here.
Er, I’ll pass on the blasting for a first comment. *Grins* Good job! As Mania said, go donate! Allaya!
uuh sounds cool ^^ :>
@Anonymous
Just because you prefaced your post with one single comment that pertains to hunters (Bestial Wrath being on the global cooldown) does not mean the entirety of it has any place on Mania’s blog. What do you honestly expect her to do? Get you unbanned? Take up your banner of whinging? Quit going to the Blizzard forums in protest?
“We were just trying to improve the game to the way its supposed to be…” Please note: your opinion != fact. Just because you think the game sucks now, and it would be vastly improved if whatever changes you’re after were implemented, does not mean everyone agrees with you.
Blizz rarely bans anyone from their forums without good reason. Somehow I think you’re not telling the whole story here.
…Sorry about that, Mania. *cleans up after self*
@Anonymous, I am not going to add my two cents, for others who speak better than I have already done so. It’s a game accordingly to Blizzard’s standards, not yours or mine. Learn to play in their world. :)
@blake curry, yup, like Mania said – go donate for the children and not for the raffle (though that raffle is über cool).
Most of the time no one worries about the “OMG, I’m first”, and nor uses it – but lately it is getting rather used a lot.
Hi Palla! Don’t want to be outdone by the “Allaya” (what is it?), so here is mine “Excelsior!” :Þ
Anonymous I compleetly agree with you. Sorry you got banned, blizzard is very trigger happy as of lately. LOL I loved your post on MMOchamp before it got removed too. Those blizzard employees are a strange bunch.
/wag finger in dissaproval at other posters
Cant you see Anonymous is just like the rest of us, trying to make the best of this game.
The rolling tally on banned posters on forms is 672 and counting. I’m not saying that they were all justifly banned, but yea blizzard has silenced alot o players that bring up sore issues for them.
LOL just read another one of his posts apparently Mania banned him from this blog site too. Mania must be a blizzard employee.
“so I log on this morning and find that I cant view of Manias blogs anymore, instead I’m and redirected to [http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ManiasArcania/~3/470644864/]
a never ending loading browser. Shame on you Mania you are as bad as the BlizThugs”
I guess blizz’s reach is far and wide. Be Careful what you type you will get banned from life. *sigh*
Sounds like a browser cache issue, or possibly a problem with Feedburner/his RSS feed reader. At any rate, it wasn’t anything I did. I would suggest accessing the blog directly for the moment.
Regardless, this really isn’t a good thread for discussing those issues. But I do encourage you wander over to our forums.
After you donate, of course.
*Grins* All of you. Allaya. Sorry, grew up in the mountains of NC, soooo some of my wordage is a bit different. *waves at Sig*
Has anyone noticed that rhinos have no swim animation… I felt this was a little cheap, lol.
rhinos can swim? dont they just stay to the shallows irl. just keep out of the water or im calling peta or w/e the wow version of it is called
@Zveda-
My rhino Thunper can’t swim at all!…She lags along the shoreline,then magically
appears by my side when I hit the shore..lol! Very un-rhino like,if you ask me..lol!
@deluga-
No,Anonymous is not like the rest of us,otherwise he would have known that this is
not the site for him to post NON-pet related posts.Whether you agree with him or not is beside the point..this is a pet-related blog,NOT for Arena QQ’ers.Save that stuff for the Oboards.
Kitairra
Yeah! I won second place on BBBs raffle – I never win anything lol. Aside from a figureprint. Anyway, I picked the calendar, naturally. But, I plan to buy a couple as gifts too – so it’s good all around =D
Mania – thank you for posting the info about the donations and raffle – I didn’t even know about the charity.
Just caught that I misspelled Deruga’s name..my apologies.My comments still stand,however…lol!
Kitairra
Congrats, Ursinus! I’m glad I was able to help spread the word about Child’s Play and BBB’s raffle. :>
