SOE Presented the results from their in-game Star Wars Galaxies event to Habitat for Humanity at a cocktail reception. Details:
During a cocktail reception yesterday opening the Austin Game Developers
Conference, Sony Online Entertainment's (SOE) Austin studio presented the
local Habitat for Humanity (HfH)with a $10,000 donation to their efforts
to end poverty housing in the area. The funds were raised as part of an
in-game event for the company's Star Wars Galaxies® Massively Multiplayer
Online (MMO) video game, where players were allowed to demolish abandoned
or unoccupied player-created houses and buildings. SOE Austin also
generated an in-game event where fighters from the evil Galactic Empire
swooped down from the stars and bombed the buildings.
