Please bring back Child's Play items

    Hi guys,

    For a few years, SOE helped out Child's Play (which donates toys and games to sick children in hospitals) by introducing SC items that gave some proceeds to the charity. I myself was a sick child who had many hospital stays, and I can tell you that distractions are essential to help you cope. When you're getting poked and prodded and dealing with scary what-if situations, a new stuffed animal (or copy of Call of Duty, I don't judge!) takes your mind off your troubles for a bit. If you're a gamer who's dealing with medical issues right now, you know that distracting yourself with games helps you get through.

    I know you haven't done this event in a few years, but I think it's time to bring it back. We did wonderful things with Extra Life, and now I'm humbly requesting we end the year with another good deed. :)

    Anything that can make a sick child smile is a good thing!

    +1 to this.

    So many different ways this game could involve charity more.

    Why not do a Player Studio themed submission, with all proceeds going to charity? I'm pretty sure a lot of the people making PS items would contribute willingly.

    Oh, YES! There are so many talented designers making stuff for SoE I bet one could even make an animated dancing teddy bear or something.

    I know it's a bit late to ask for a brand-new item to be made for Child's Play, but I was thinking maybe they could take one of the already-slated SC items for this year's Frostfell and do a recolor / add the logo?

    Create a super cool mercenary. Toss it on SC for a limited time and donate the funds (if not all at least some) to the chairty?

    Everybody is happy ! :p

    Not fast enough, can you have one designed for next year?

    A few years ago I walked into a humane society that was in a donated area due to a fire and loss off many animals. They were still operating in donated space and doing everything they could for any animal they could help. I walked out with some pocket pets....who got a HUGE cage once I got them home.

    It isn't only the humans who need help. Just give where you can and what you can. And never feel guilty. Even a /hug can be a gift.

    We can't make animations. Though thanks for the compliment to the PS Artists. It would have to depend on what was needed.

    Yes - and that's a shame... because after seeing the SOE-designed animated cloaks - and then seeing (and I think buying one of) the incredibly awesome Player Studio cloaks - I'd probably go broke if PS could do animated cloaks. Even though you only really need ONE cloak per character... or two... :D
