When I was playing WoW the one thing that I was highly addicted to was mini pets. I had to have them. While I never managed to get them all I did have quite a few. Today when looking over my google reader I came across a story about Blizzard offering mini pets in game for real world cash. Now I know that some people are against micro transactions but personally I see no harm in one such as this. It’s not like buying either of the two mini pets they are offering will make or break the game. It gives no bonus other than maybe completing one of the achievements. When buying the Pandaren Monk half of those proceeds go to charity. If I was still playing WoW I would so pick one up. I mean really my Death Knight would look awesome running around with a Lil T.K.
I also don’t see any problems with this. As long as you don’t gain any advantages, this won’t hurt anyone. Actually it will only make the WoW world a little bit more lively.
Damn. I just recalled all the WoW memories I had. Must … must .. resist!

I think it’d be insane for such a successful games company to ignore how much profit they can make from micro-transactions, and I think it’ll serve them well. I’m really not Blizzard’s biggest fan, but for them I really think was a good move.
Also, added you to my blogroll.
