Curt Schilling to be Virtual Villain

Evil Curt

I am not exactly "up" on the latest in online gaming, but I will definitely try my hand at EverQuest II next month when Curt Schilling makes his debut as a virtual villain. According to a press release from Sony Online Entertainment:

"Curt Schilling is about to debut in his favorite online video game, EverQuest II, as an epically awesome, loot-dropping virtual bad guy who battles unwary players. Schilling's video game character will reside within the online world of EverQuest II (EQII) for three days during the Yankees vs. Red Sox baseball series June 5, 6 and 7, 2006 at Yankee Stadium. During this time, anyone can register for and log into EverQuest II at www.battleals.com to challenge the evil Schilling character, appropriately named 'Curt Schilling.'"

Every time an online player defeats the "epically awesome" evil Schilling, Sony Online Entertainment will make a $5 donation to the ALS Association.

There is no confirmation yet on Curt's weapon of choice (baseballs?) or whether or not he will be wearing a virtual bloody sock.
