Virtual gold turned Red Cross donation

Ultima Online Red Cross DonationsGood ol' Crazy Joe is at it again!  He's set up a (legit!) donation drive via Ultima Online to support South Asia in the wake of the tsunamis.  Basically, on all non-Asian servers, there are vendors (listed below, here) that are selling junk for "crazy-high" prices (i.e. players buying the junk are really just making a donation), or there are areas where you can just drop gold into "locked" piles.

It takes a lot of virtual gold (sold on eBay) to produce real world money (see status), but as word spreads, Joe's relief fund will certainly make a difference.  So if you're an Ultima Online player, don't forget to stop by and drop some gold.
