'Tis the season for giving, which is why it's great to see that a group of City of Heroes players have created the Real World Hero charity donation drive to raise funds for Child's Play, Donate Games and Operation Gratitude. While the drive is not endorsed by NCsoft, the company has featured the event on the front page of the official City of Heroes site.

The Wentworth Country Club will be collecting funds for these charities through Jan. 1, 2010, which is when the group will be hosting a cross-server celebration party. Players who donate will be eligible to receive a temporary gold title for their character by contacting Mr. Wentworth or Sultry Siren in-game from Nov. 30 to Dec. 24. More information can be found in this thread on the official forums.
