Server blades..not just for recycling anymore!

So I was bopping around the web earlier today, and decided to visit a website dedicated to one of the games I enjoy playing over the net'. While there they had a story posted about some server blades being auctioned off to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and thought you would all like to see what a Server blade from the biggest game on the internet looks like. The game in question has over 10 million subscribers, down from 12 mil this past winter..but still the leading game in the industry. No other game comes close to that many subscribers..nothing.

So yea..anyhow they auctioned these off and made $333,000 dollars for St. Jude. All proceeds went to the hospital of course.

So now that I got my inner nerd out of the way...here's the pic




If you'd like to learn more on the auction and such you can find the blurb here Blizzard raises over $330,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital



Thanks for letting me share my inner nerd, back your scrapping now!

Sirscrapalot - We all have a little nerd in us, whether gaming, coin/stamp collecting, etc.

LOL Miked. Yea I don't hide it to well. I'm at the stage where I'm rather proud of it. :P An I can't believe you just called me a geek... lol.

An DM yes sir, it was the individual realms/servers. Had I the funds I'da done the same, a very worthy cause in my opinion. Glad to see a game company give back to the community.

Though I do wonder what a server from Blizzard would weigh and look like. I just might have to root around to see if I can't find out.

sirscrapalot - Has a inner nerd and is proud of it.

heh. Who knew I had two WoW players on this forum! huzzah.


Sirscrapalot - Alleria/Garona.

To true. Just amazes me all the odd places I find fellow players. :P


Sirscrapalot - wishing all a profitable day, and off to spend time with visiting family at the beach.

LOL...I remember when Evercrack (not herd that one in a while) came out. Never played it, as I wasn't into the big MMOs of that era. I was still establishing my inner nerd on such games as Gemstone 3 (now 4). Far as wow and kids..I got lucky my current server is rather chill and laid back not many trolls/kids acting up, which always makes me happy.

It's a nice way to relax, I could find worse ways to spend the 15 bucks a month. Heh.

Someday someone will ask if any other gamers on here, and Mech will pop a link up, and we'll all have our inner nerds exposed! :P

Sirscrapalot - Still things Mech88 uses magic to pull up links.
