I thought this was a joke but it seems like it's actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

What the fuck? Do people actually pay that for virtual bullshit? That's like the price of a used Honda!

It's intended for whales and for the 65 crew members to split. But I can't imagine they sell many.

Sadly they sell many. They sell them in batches like twice a year and they sell out in seconds.
