Real World Hero

Real World Hero has kicked off... now I really didn't know what this was until I took a closer look at their website: http://realworldhero.com/

For those of you who don't know, it's a website where gamers band together to raise money for various causes:

Child's Play is for donations of books, games & cash for sick children in the US.

Donate Games is committed to easing the pain of those who suffer orphan diseases such as Chordoma, Progera & Rett Syndrome through the donation & resale of used games as well as cash donations.

Operation Gratitude takes donations to send care packages to the U.S. Military.

Heifer International works to end the cycle of chronic world hunger, poverty & protect the earth.

My finances were better this year so I was able to donate but when I went to the site I was dismayed to see that last year Liberty Server did not have a single donation. Now there may of been players on Liberty that donated but listed another server but I was embarrassed to be a Liberty player.

So come on Liberty, spread the word - pass it around Sisterhood, LB & other various channels & forums while we may not be able to surpass Virtue Server (though it would be awesome if we did) let's at least get up there in the ranks! Even $5 would help out!

>.> My youngest brother is a gamer (though not of CoX) I'm gonna nag him too! Single man, E-7 in the Army, he's got some money

My reply to this is primarily for a "bump". I know Liberty has many players with tremendous hearts, but sadly, sometimes the wallet size doesn't match.

Myself, I've just never heard of these charities and already have budgeted funds for other charitable causes.

Still, because I think this is a grand cause, I'll take a look, maybe I can save a few bucks somewhere.

I placed a link on my facebook page,I hope that helps a bit more.

Thanks for helping, we've gotten a few donations from Liberty this year, which is better than last year (none - and that's against me too).

Hello Liberty!

Melanie, I can add that there was at least one donor that declared Liberty as their home server for the Real World Hero charity drive last year. We had at least one donation come in from every server, including the EU servers. Not everyone leaves their server info in the comments after donating, so the donation chart on the website will miss those donors, too.

I'm definitely glad to see you talking it up this year! We're excited to be at it again and have put together some new things to draw attention across the servers. We'll be announcing contests and events that everyone can participate on the Real World Hero thread in the Player Events section of the board (here) and on the Real World Hero website, too.

We're grateful to everyone that can help spread the word of the charity drive across the servers and across the internet. This is as valuable and important as donating cash.

Best regards,
@Mr. Wentworth

I was a little confused as to where to leave the comment, I thought initially in the paypal comment field but there was none, it wasn't until afterwards I saw the option to leave a comment with my info so it was a little confusing.

I'm glad somebody donated ^_^

Sadly I missed the kick off event was working the 2nd job. Hopefully I can attend upcoming events.

I'm glad you figured it out, Melanie. In fact, we're giving out Real World Hero gold titles in game again this year to players that have made donations. We've scheduled visits to each server every week from now until Christmas and Liberty is scheduled for today and every Tuesday from 5:30-6:00pm PST (8:30-9:00pm EST).

If you can be in game during that time, we'll have Ocho (Mod08) there to help award titles. I've updated the Real World Hero thread with all of the details. Just send me a tell (@Mr. Wentworth) to find me.

Hope we can connect in-game at some point. I'd love to get a gold title for you and any other Liberty donors.

Ah missed this Tuesday guess I'll have to wait for next Tuesday. Dragged my dad & my neighbors to the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition pre-build pep rally. They're going to be doing a build near us next week.

That sounds like a fun evening! Mrs. Wentworth suggests making a Real World Hero shirt and standing in front of the cameras. lol I recommend protecting your parking spaces.

We'll get you that title next week for sure!

I just donated my part to the Heifer International. I know what it's like to be in poverty!

*** I forgot to add my character name, but it's the same as my global!

Thanks to Ocho (and Mr Wentworth who snagged me) for the nice title. I'd completely forgotten about it.

Help make someone's holiday better, Liberty.

Glad I could contribute something to a definitely worthy cause.
