Development Team Takes on the Ice Bucket Challenge

The last week or two, the hottest trend is also the coldest. The now ubiquitous "Ice Bucket Challenge" is sweeping the Internet, and this Wednesday, the development team for Conquer Online joined in the "fun."

The Ice Bucket Challenge began as a method of raising money for Lou Gehrig's Disease by giving people the option either to donate money to the cause, or to allow someone to film them having a bucket of ice water dumped over their heads. The challenge has raised an unprecedented amount of money, as well as raising awareness of the disease. It's also resulted in amusing videos and photos of people enduring shockingly cold dousings.

Here's the Conquer Online peeps taking one for the team:

Along with performing this frigid feat, Conquer Online made a donation to the ALS Association and has challenged teams from Perfect World, Rune Scape and Maple Story to step up.
