Buy Tea, Get 600 Card Packs or Khadgar - Taiwan Gets a Hearthstone Promotion
This news comes to us from jknows26 on reddit.
Oh Khadgar you fool, you've done it again and gotten yourself trapped in a regional promotion! Blizzard is running a promo in Taiwan where you can purchase tea, obtain points, and redeem those points for Blizzard goodness. Hearthstone players have a couple of options.
- 500 Points - 1 Card Pack
- 2500 Points - Khadgar Hero
- Additional chance to win a grand prize of 600 card packs
You can check out the webpage they have up for the promotion over on GoBlizzard.tw. All the tea cartons have Hearthstone art on them, check them out below!
Loot Codes
It should also be noted that it states that codes can only be redeemed on "Asian" servers. For players outside of Taiwan, obtaining a code from someone within the country should be able to unlock the Hero for you on that region. The codes won't work for Europe or Americas though, so don't get your hopes up that this is a way to obtain Khadgar if he is missing from your collection. Buy at your own risk!
Historically Speaking
It has been 5 months since we last saw Khadgar popup. Back in February, Khadgar was available in China for a Heroes of the Storm promotion which required players to win 5 games. There is no word on whether we'll see Khadgar come back in a promotion targetted towards a Western audience. Every promotion last year targetted the East with China seeing him twice and South Korea once.
I might as well buy tea from Taiwan, eeeeh ... No.
Oh, okay.
CD's are still being sold? The hell? Where? How? Why?
I didn't see anyone selling a CD in probably 5 years. Furthermore i don't think i've seen a CD in a couple of years.
Actually cd's are huge in Japan and central Europe ( especially in Germany ).
Think they meant BD.
I hated when Khadgar was only available for Apple users. Like... What the hell? I would've liked to get him on Android. Then he was only available in China, and now Taiwan? When will he be available for all regions? Or at least for Android? Come on Blizzard. Give us all a chance to get him.
had to borrow a my girlfriend's iphone and log into my account on there for the unlock.

The first qualifier in the article you link is the term "prejudice" - discrimination isn't "treating anyone differently for any reason, good or bad," as you pretend. That's just treating people differently - sometimes for good reasons, and sometimes for bad reasons which aren't discriminatory.
Discrimination requires an act of prejudicial, or unjust treatment directed against members of a group. It's simply false that "treating one group differently for any reason" is discrimination. Nor would anyone - yourself included - maintain that "the rest of the world" is a meaningful "group." Consider - if I give my daughter her allowance, you have to criticize me for discriminating against every other member of the species, since you maintain that everyone other than my daughter is a "group", and I've treated that group differently than I have my daughter.
But that's bullshit. And so is the claim that Blizzard is shitting on the rest of the planet with their Taiwan promotion.
FWIW - companies have every right to promote their products differently in different countries - for too many reasons completely unconnected with HS to bother mentioning them on a casual gaming fan-site. Last weekend, there was a promotion in some New York area Starbucks, and folks could purchase cheaper coffee in the city than they could in Toronto, where I live. But no one - yourself included - is going to maintain that folks in Toronto were being discriminated against by Starbucks. Rather, the company simply has different marketing plans for the different regions in which they operate, for lots of innocuous, non-prejudicial and perfectly justifiable reasons. And they should. It's difficult to see how Blizzard's promotion in Taiwan is any different.
Yes. Thank you. Someone who actually gets that being deprived of their pixels isn't effing prejudice.
:D thanks man!
Why every promotion with Khadgar is only available in Asia? :( the game should be equal for all players!
But it is!! You have access to de exact same cards they have \o/
Well, you can save yourself by grabbing a proper dictionary and look up discrimination.
Or feel free to follow this link to Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_(disambiguation)
Wow. Inaccurate AND snarky! Nice! Quick thing; Please clarify how you were treated in a prejudiced manner. What pre-judgment is at work to deny you the 'right' to Khadgar? I'll wait.
Hearthpwn shouldn't post posts like that on the site, cause, you know, people don't like when someone can have something that others cannot.
Taiwan Numbah 1

Don't know about your country, but in my, Khadgar was bonus when you bought CD of Warcraft movie for about +/- 5Euro
