WarCry Holds Lich King Beta Keys for Ransom

image

The heartless crew at our sister site WarCry is holding Wrath of the Lich King beta keys and in-game pets for ransom, and they have the note to prove it.

This ransom is a bit different, however. They don't want your money, they want you to identify the game logos used to create the ransom note. An odd request, perhaps, but they have at least filled in the first answer to help you on your way.

Twenty winners will be chosen at random from the pool of correct entries. Winners will receive one of twenty cards from Blizzard's WorldWide Invitational 2008 event, which will not only register you for the beta, but will also provide you with your very own mini-Tyrael in-game pet.

Here's the ransom note in its entirety. Good luck!

Couldn't you guys do a Warcraft Lore quiz? Or at least something I have a chance at winning at...

Staring at the picture linked in this post:

"L" is from Final Fantasy
"K" looks to be Kingdom Hearts
"G" could be Metal Gear Solid
"H" must definitely be Halo

Intriguing way to do it, but that kinda requires WOWers to actually know of other games right? *drums*

Also I got nothing besides what's been posted.

If someone had the time, they could copy from this forum, use their brain for some, and cut-and-paste the rest into a search engine. I like WoW, but not that much. Plus, TV is on!

I see an H from halo, an L from final fantasy (i think 9), and an i from Diablo.

Also I see an E from Fable. The O is definately from Portal.

The H is from Hellgate, I think. The G and the N are from Metal Gear and Psychonauts, respectively.

Still no luck with the "T" in beta and the "S" in test. :\

Any ideas?

EDIT: Got the S in test. Finally.
