Blizzard and Make-A-Wish give sick child ultimate WoW experience
This may cause some serious tear dripping and this is why I really like Blizzard …
Ezra Chatterton is a 10-year-old child who suffers from a brain tumor. The diagnosis is not too good. But despite the fact that he is facing a lot of treatment, Ezra’s wished for only one thing, to be allowed to play World of Warcraft.
So … Blizzard Entertainment teamed up with the Make-A-Wish foundation to give Ezra the greatest World of Warcraft experience imaginable.
Ezra had told Make-A-Wish that he wanted to visit Blizzard to see if they would make a character for him. Blizzard obliged, and not only did Ezra create his character (Ahab Wheatroof, pictured), they recorded his voice for the character and also let him add his dog Kyle to the game, in addition to creating a very unique (and very powerful) flaming crossbow for his now maxed-out character.
All in all, Ezra spent seven hours with the Blizzard staff as was reportedly very thrilled and thoughts of his future and what he wants to do when he recovers.
Thank you Blizzard for granting for this boy his biggest wish.

This is a beautiful story.
Shame on Jack Thompson for thinking game developers are evil.
This is just another story that shows that game developers have hearts.
