Cenarion Hatchling Raises More Than $1.9 Million for Japan Earthquake Relief
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of World of Warcraft players around the world who purchased the Cenarion Hatchling pet, we’ve raised a total of more than $1.9 million USD to support the ongoing earthquake and tsunami relief efforts in Japan. In May, we announced that for every Cenarion Hatchling purchased by July 31, 2011, 100% of the $10 USD adoption fee would be going to assist victims of this disaster -- and the community responded by opening up their hearts and wallets wide. Thanks again for your support and for helping to make an impact on the lives of those affected by these events.

Like, buy a pet or mount, and receive 15 days gametime or 10,000 gold.

I wouldn't normally have bought a pet, but since the proceeds were going to the relief effort, I jumped at the chance to help. Yeah, I could have donated via established charities, such as Red Cross, but this was a way to say, "Yes, I helped."

Oh wait, they don't have that beak anymore. WTH, Blizz? Give us the old beak back. The new one doesn't look appropriate, it looks retarded.

Once again, from someone who lost a child to cancer in the past year, raising money and helping those who need it is not a beauty contest.
Who in the world are you to think raising money for anyone is something to be impressed or bragged about. It is about helping people and showing the charitable illiterate "here is a proven way to help someone in need".
Sorry, but I still see this horrible attitude when I try to help others who are fighting to save their child's life but make the most of the life they have left. I have NEVER seen it come from anyone who actually helps others. Just those who stand on the sideline 'judging' everyone else.

Kind of wished I'd donate, though, but oh well.

I wanted to help the people in Japan, but I wasn't sure how. This gave me an easy (and fun) method to do that.
