right basic intention, completely wrong area to focus it in. I think we can go for centuries without ANOTHER anime polluting the screens, but we won't go more than a week if that reactor blows.

It's great that they want to help, but I can't help to think that they're only doing this to profit themselves somehow....

Is there any cashshop in Global Agenda?

They might want more people to come play it so they can milk 'em later through cashshop or expansions which cost some money.

But whatever, I'm probably overthinking it.

Great job on assisting Red Cross!

i really wish more companies would do things such at this, besides the free pr it really puts the entire company in another light,  imagine blizz or bioware doing that for just 24 hours..or even EA or sony, but the last 2 is wishfull thinking..oh forgot bioware is ea now..im getting off topic, nice move, thumbs up!!

No, no cash shop. Only future expansions will cost money. Theres a monthly payment to get double exp and double money earning. But that's it.

Now that is good marketing, good for all.

It's times like these when I wish there was a luxury shop or something, seeing as how I've bought the game already. Then again, I could always just donate directly to Japan's relief effort.

Or you could give the game to a friend.

Buying me a copy would be donating. Really tho, I'd like one and it'd be for a good cause heh.

Yeah, do that. It'll make a country and +1 happy. It's actually amazing how GA has no monthly fee and no cash shop at all and still decides to redirect 50% of its revenue for a weekend. This game should get more purchases than WoW for what it's doing and how it completely goes against any corporate suit (money, money, money) thinking.

And regarding the reactor, uhhh, and here was I thinking we were kind of busy enough already with global warming.

I am not even a huge fan of the game, I did enjoy the trial somewhat, but hell I may buy it just for this cause. Not bad for $10 and a good cause. Been trying to get one of my friends into MMO's, this seems like a good one to start with, might buy him a copy too. Nice job Hi-Rez :)

+1 for HiRez.  one of my favorite developers.

It all sounds good but pretty much amounts to f**k all money if they sell 5 copies over the weekend..  I suspect everyone that wanted to try the game, already has...

They are jumping on the marketing bandwagon.  If they wanted to properly donate to a worthy cause, they would just donate an amount and keep quiet about it.  I'm not going to buy their game just because they are donating.  I'll not buy the game at all and donate direct (as I already have).

Oh and P.S. I hate Sushi lol
