Unique MMO Calendar Supports Children's Research Hospital

Buy this MMO calendar and you'll be helping sick kids.In one of the more unique game-related charity events we've seen, gamers can purchase a 2007 calendar for $14.95. All proceeds go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN.
St. Jude's is described as "the world’s premier center for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases."
The calendar, published by MMO Portal, features original artwork from current and upcoming MMO's. Even more impressive, each game's page is signed by members of its respective development team. Games featured in the MMO Calendar include:
- Dark Age of Camelot
- Dungeons & Dragons Online
- Eve Online
- EverQuest II
- Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising
- Lord of the Rings Online
- Star Wars Galaxies
- The Chronicles of SpellBorn
- Ultima Online
- Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
- Warhammer Online
- World of Warcraft
GP: This is going to look great on my office wall, right next to the framed portrait of my WoW avatar, GamePolitix...

Valdearg: Lmao. I was just permabanned from the hannity forums for asking about her article. It was politely worded, and I made sure to imply that I was conservative. Seems to me like Hannity is in full damage control, at the moment.

Valdearg: CONSERVATIVE blogger Debbie Schlussel out's Sean Hannity's Freedom Concerts as a SCAM! As little as 4% and 7% of the money collected in some years actually went to the benefits of the charity. A MUCH larger percentage was spent on luxuries for Hannity.

Flamespeak: I never understood why someone should work hard to get a lot of money, just to be punished with more taxes for doing so.

Austin_Lewis: Of course, that ignores the fact that for the next 4 years, the people will be taxed without 'benefit' from the bill.

Austin_Lewis: If we go by the CBO's past estimation failures, they're about 300% short on the actual cost.

Valdearg: What I said was while I may have implied long term accuraccy, and that might have been incorrect, my greater point that the CBO report calculated reduced deficits, expanded coverage, and lower costs is still 100% accurate. :D

JDKJ: If you'd said "I was incorrect" 10 shouts ago, I'd have quit twisting your arm to get you see the obvious 10 shouts ago.

Valdearg: Yes, my implication that the long term estimates were facts was incorrect, but the short term calculations are absolutely facts, and even the long term estimates are still useful in attempting to determine exactly what will happen with the bill.

Comments
I'm Elathiel from MMO Portal.
First off, as I said in my email, thank you so much for the kind words and plug on your site GP!
I thought I'd answer the concern about City of Heroes/Villains not being in the calendar. Simply put, NCsoft said no. We invited City and Guild Wars, but David Swafford only offered, "Looks like we have to pass this time. Thanks though.", as a reply to my emails.
I'd guess they'll be much more receptive next year though, after this finishes going off quite nicely.
We'll also be doing things much earlier next year, with them going on sale by November 1st. Things were a tad rushed this year unfortunately after it taking months longer to gain St. Jude's nod than I thought it would.
I weep for CoH, even though I don't play anymore.
Best of luck on the MMO calendears- I know I'll buy one!
maybe because COH suxs?
I don't see a NC soft game up their anyway.
