Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) recently announced that Boston Red Sox pitcher, 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. The bad-boy image in EverQuest II is all for a good cause. Schilling's character will live in the MMORPG's virtual world for three days during the Yankees vs. Red Sox baseball series, which is June 5-7, 2006. The character is aptly named, Curt Schilling.

During this time, anyone who's registered at Everquest II and is online can challenge the "evil" Schilling. If you beat him, not only would you be entitled to bragging rights, but you're also lending a helping hand. Why? Because every time a player defeats the virtual Schilling character, SOE, creators of EverQuest II, will make a donation of $5 dollars (up to a maximum of $10,000) to the ALS Association, which assists patients with ALS, also known as Lou GehrigÂ’s Disease. After the three-day affair, CurtÂ’s character will remain within the game as a high-powered enemy that characters will have to face later in the game.

In addition, SOE will encourage its hundreds of thousands of EQII players to type /ALS within the game in order to donate money to CurtÂ’s charity of choice, the ALS Association. This program will run for the entire three-day series and will give the SOE player community a chance to help with this worthy cause. It's a win-win situation for the player: not only will you be entitled to bragging rights, you'd be able to help people afflicted with ALS.
