Throwback Thursday: Charity Edition?

*Disclaimer: Only my opinion/idea. There are no facts/rumors discussed here unless a KI Employee says anything whatsoever*

I know in the past, it was stated that the Charity Mounts were never going to be released normally again, but I was thinking.

This Christmas, December 25th, is going to land on a Thursday! And what better way to do a TBT than with a huge Charity event!

A way for players, old and new, to help good causes in the real world by buying the mounts they missed an opportunity for, or weren't part of our community when they were released at the time.

Plenty of players I know either didn't purchase the Meowmodon for the previously lower speed, did not have enough crowns, or were not aware of Wizard101 at the time. This applies to any other mount up until this year (knowing KI's amazing success with each Charity Mount).

Comparing 2010 and today, the player base has definitely increased. Content that was meant for a charity donation should always stay that way.

This year, as a suggestion, I am not asking for a re-release of the mounts, but rather a very special Throwback Thursday: Charity edition. All charity mounts purchased would still be going towards a donation, as well as give newer Wizards a chance to obtain the (scarcely seen) charity items.

I own the Falalalallama and the Noelephant. Friends I have spoken with (who were not players at the time) do wish they had the same chance to buy it. In my own opinion (it may vary with other Wizards), if this were to happen, I would not feel the value of my mount would have gone down, since the original purpose of these mounts were for raising money!

I understand the stance previously on these Limited Edition Mounts, but retired items have in the past came back suddenly. Would these also be given a chance for a wonderful opportunity?

Feedback, for and against my opinion, are welcome; however, please no flaming
