'World of Warcraft' Players Raise $2.3M for Sandy Relief

World of Warcraft players have raised more than $2.3 million for Hurricane Sandy victims, after embarking on a real-life quest to help with relief efforts last month.

Blizzard, the company behind WoW, announced that the funds will go toward supporting the American Red Cross' Sandy relief initiative.

Throughout December, players contributed by virtually adopting the "Cinder Kitten," available in Blizzard's pet store, for $10. For more on WoW's charitable efforts, watch the video, above.
