You know, PGI:
Thank you for allowing me to feel like a hero, too by going with this. And doing a little bit that mattered, rather than just playing a game.
It was an honour and a pleasure to participate.

Once I said I gonna buy two of them... I would have if I could...

But there is one thing that makes me sad:
More than one million registred members and only 10K "Sarah" mechs!
C'mon guys we can do better that that!

Finally thanks PGI for setting up this!
I loved the idea from the very first moment and it is great we, as a online community, will probably never forget about little Sarah.

It was an easy choice Gath.


To paraphrase Firefly,

When a man has an opportunity like this, you might say he has a choice. I don't believe he does.

There was an opportunity to do something good and I am touched, that so many joined. I am happy, to be one of you. News from all over the world are talking about Sarah and the MWO-Community.
Thanks to the Devs and the Mechwarriors ;)

Lets just say nothing happens without my mom knowing it. Believe me, I tried that when getting my elite founders package.

Hell, I'm having trouble trying to get the Overlord Phoenix pack despite me wanting to help fund the game in some way.

Try telling her what it is really for (the donation) and that the game related stuff is just something they threw in. Shouldn't hurt to try and she may get a better appreciation for the community you are chosing to interact with online :D

I'm very proud to have helped the cause. I would have gladly paid 3x the price for Sarah's Jenner and never missed the $. There are some things just too important to worry about $ over.

I will be able to make at least a few drops on the 23rd, and I will only run my Sarah Jenner that day.

Although I'm not sure how well I'll be able to see the screen that day.

God's blessings to you all, especially Sarah's family.

I'd love to know what percentage of the population donated.

When you see charities asking for money and they say every little bit helps, we know it does. If everyone in the world donates as little as $5 to a charity, that is a HUGE amount of money going to research. I usually donate to Leukemia and Riley Children's Hospital and did buy Sarah's mech.

I was happy to help and still am amazed at how many of us purchased/donated. In all the time that I have been a PC gamer, I don't think I've ever seen anything like this occur. I do try to donate to various charities as I am able and I would love to be able to do philanthropic work full time. There is a certain amount of satisfaction knowing that I've helped to make a difference.

I am proud and pleased to be apart of this community.

GET EM' GOOD!
:P

It's great to see an effort like this. It shows that should the need arise, the community would pitch in to help. The same goes for my home state that went through hurricane Sandy. My house may have been lucky to make it through the storm. However, when everyone got together to help out with the destruction that occurred on the jersey shore(with some houses exploding due to the gas not being shut off) it is just another amazing feat to see that deep down we all care.


Now that was my caring moment of the day. Time to go back to blowing up mechs.

By the way guys, dont all focus on sarah, yes its terrible, but I gave money to save the living, because in the end, thats what matter.

As Garth said, I hope this 100k do the trick... and even if it dont it certainly helped the research go foward.

It made the decision even easier after seeing how solid the mech was right out of the box!
