NEWS - I’d like to start this news announcement with a big /SIGH. THQ*ICE announced an event in conjunction with Dragonica Online that basically bribes you to market for them.

I did the whole MMO thing or, rather, am still weaning myself off of it. Scavenging for items always becomes a huge and prominent ordeal for your typical run-of-the-mill MMORPG. I guess THQ*ICE – like many of the MMO developers out there – realized our weakness for items and set forth plans to reap the benefits of teasing us all with them.

Until January 11th, you can gain access to a web address to give out to your friends so that they can register themselves for a THQ*ICE Passport for free. In exchange, you, the advertiser hired for in-game items, can have a chance to receive three Essences of Friendship and one permanent Magic Academy Uniform Package. The prizes you win depend on how many people you have invited, and how many of them have reached a certain level in the game. Your friends who you have invited will also get prices once they hit level 8.

As a WoW player I had my days of: “Zebra mount?! LET’S GET YOU SIGNED UP, FRIEND.” Really, it’s no skin off your back – but I can’t help thinking I’ve sold my soul in exchange for a mount I never needed.
