Two things. One, that's a lot of money, and two, what do they mean by charity? Is the money actually going to a SG/MY charity?

...
$6950?
Is that the starting price or the final price (if it's a final price it wouldn't really be an auction, would it?)
Btw do you mean $5300 for the bow?

No, $530 for the bow.

And yes, it's an auction.

And yes, it's for charity, supposedly.

Show your support to MDAS (Muscular Dystrophy Association of Singapore) and The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund when you bid for 5 highly sought-after in-game items. 100% of the auction proceeds will go to the charity.

That's really a lot of money. At least they are donating the cash to charity.

Btw, SGD 19 230 = USD 13 250

Does anyone have the price of what they ended up being last time? The Ele wand 7 is almost certainly going to be in the 10s of thousands xD

I would put my dex gear on for that sleve (after I made it 90atk)

Not surprised the SIN item went for the most once again

That's sad, lol.

Who the hell would really buy those equips for thousands of dollars?

What did they say about WoW? A cheap way to guarantee your sons virginity?

I rather like MapleSEA because of this. In the past, there were Cash Shop items where the profits would be given to the same organisation. It would be nice to see Nexon America do something similar.

We both know thats not gonna happen kev

I should sell all my items for charity... The "HeroTex gotta pay his bills" foundation

Ya that should work

If they were REALLY into charity, they put up 100nx items in the cs that you can buy and dont get anything for, and 100% of the revenue is going to a specific organisation... And each month the total revenue is put up the website...

This way of charity does not really have anything to do with "giving money to poor people", it's all about zOMFGbbQdaddyBUYmeTHATitemSOthatIcanPWN0RZmyFRI3NDZ -.-

You obviously lack quite a lot of brain functions, bro. It is stated to which organization this money goes to and with 100nx items the player won't gain anything from the organization would NEVER make even close to as much money as they make of this auction alone.

Screw you antikel, you beat me to posting this >_> Kidding. Nice work there.

On to the article in today's papers:

MORE than 250,000 gaming enthusiasts thronged one of the biggest gaming and electronics fairs, Licence2Play, which was held over three days from last Friday.
After several days of gaming and cyberwellness talks, fans of the popular role-playing game MapleStory got to attend the official launch of its second episode yesterday at the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre. They also picked up goodies such as in-game vouchers which they can use to buy decorative items in the game.

Student Patricia Eng, 16, had been trying to download the latest edition of MapleStory since last Wednesday, but managed to get it done only last Friday due to the huge number of people logging on.

At the fair, she bought two limited edition prepaid cards, which translate to virtual cash in the game. 'I'm very excited about Episode 2. It's now easier for me to kill monsters and complete quests.'

A MapleStory charity auction, where gamers placed bids to win five in-game weapons, also raised $18,230 for charity.

The money raised will be split equally between The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund and the Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore).

A director of a construction company, who wanted to be known only as Mr Yeo, 39, placed the highest bid of $6,950 to win a Dragon Purple Sleeve, a MapleStory in-game weapon, for his 13-year-old son. 'Any parent would do the same for their son as long as it's within their ability,' he said.

The first Licence2Play was organised by Sphere Exhibits, the lifestyle events arm of Singapore Press Holdings. Asiasoft GameFest 09 organised the MapleStory Episode 2 launch, auction and various other game tournaments.

Sphere Exhibits executive director Chua Wee Phong said the event gave parents a chance to gain an insight into their children's interests. 'Parents see that gaming is actually not as bad as they perceive it to be if it is done right. It is a very different world today and we must have outlets for these kids to have fun.'

Mr Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry Of Community Development, Youth and Sports, who opened the fair, urged parents to ensure their children are aware of responsible gaming. 'I think it's more important to teach children what are the things they should or should not see. But you also want to leave the choice to them.'

SGD$19k is around USD$13k, in case anyone is wondering.

*Sadistically hopes the boy whose father bought the Sleve for 7k for him blows it up*

You obviously lack quite a lot of brain functions, bro. It is stated to which organization this money goes to and with 100nx items the player won't gain anything from the organization would NEVER make even close to as much money as they make of this auction alone.

Whoa, why the insult? Can't reason with someone without using primitive language? Anyway....

If 100.000 players would buy a 100nx item per month (and I'm not even talking about some players buying 10x or 25x the 100nx item per month, that would gain them $10.000,- per month, each month... and that's a lot more then this single auction... Also it would save the world from richie daddy kidz who don't give a shiet about charity, and are only interested fot the zOMGwtpBBQ item stats... all I'm saying that this stuff has nothing to do with real charity, but it's more about pure greed with a nice cover-up story around it...

so much money for those weapons. i am sad cuz i am a poor 3rd world country person and i didnt get any money.
