FAQs:
What payment methods are available?
All donations are collected through PayPal, which also offers international methods of payment to players living outside of the United States.
Which hospital should I choose?
If you live in the United States or Canada, feel free to choose your own hospital or select the facility closest to you. If you live in another country, there are three international options available (INT'L Boston Children's - in Boston, Mass, INT'L SickKids - in Toronto, Ontario, INT'L Children's National Medical Center - in Washington, D.C.) All three facilities provide care for young patients in North America who are visiting from other countries.
Do I have to play MU ONLINE for 25 hours straight?
No. If you feel more comfortable playing the game for a few hours each day, please feel free to do so. Just make sure you broadcast your gameplay via livestream and accumulate at least 25 hours. If you decide to tackle all 25 hours in one day, please take breaks throughout the day and implement all applicable safety measures. If this becomes too overwhelming, you can also tag team with other MU players. Please visit the Safety Notice page at www.extra-life.org for more tips on how to game wisely.
Where will the donations go?
ALL proceeds collected through Extra Life will benefit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, where it will be used to care for young patients who are suffering from life threatening illnesses and injuries sustained by accidents. WEBZEN and MU ONLINE will not receive any of the funds.
