Made this post as a way to first say, of a few leveling records that were shattered, by my Monk.
The first, was getting 60-70 in Outland, before even my Druid. And the most impressive is 70-80. My Monk only took two DAYS to do it.
If that’s not impressive enough, she was 77 when she left Borean Tundra for Grizzly Hills. I can only guess this was due to the 10% XP increase of the Guild, and the Wintergrasp 5% XP buff. Also had that 50% increase after doing Monk Training. So, that’s like 65% faster XP.
Now doing Cata quests, it seems to be back to normal. That is if you call almost completing Vash’jir at Level 84, normal.

So anyway, the reason I made this post. Surely everyone’s heard of the devastating, outreaching affects of Superstorm Sandy. Well, Blizzard is working with the Red Cross, to help the survivors of Sandy. The catch is, you gotta buy a pet on the Blizzard Store for $10. But 100% of that $10 will go to the Red Cross, instead of to Blizzard.
The pet is a flaming kitten. Some people want to do preorders, JUST to get that kitten because it’s “so adorable”.
Some, think it’s a promotional gimmick of Blizzard to make it like they actually care.
Some are seeing of ones that are buying the pet just to donate, is a shame, due the fact that they can’t donate normally to the Red Cross.
And some see that Blizzard’s wasting their time, because FEMA and other agencies will take care of the survivors, by providing them food, clothes, and all other basic survival essentials.
Blizzard’s stance of this, which I agree with; “if this gets lots of people to donate to a good cause, it’s worth it”. Blizzard can be retarded when it comes to their rules of WoW, but they aren’t outside of it. This is a noble cause, and I will support it.
Just to put this on the table, I’ve donated $10 via texting to the Red Cross when it first came up. Do I want this pet? Not really. But I will get it to support the Red Cross, once again. Though I’m sure I’ll be looked down with disdain over getting this thing, even though I’ll tell them I donated way before this thing came out (as in they won’t believe me, or just trolling).
Also, I have seven cats in my house IRL. So, yeah. I don’t see this flaming kitten being “cute”, when I got enough cute there.
If it was a flaming Murloc, however… then I’d grab it! Because baby Murlocs are adorable. 🙂
