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.
Gilnean-themed Tea feels so British that the Khadgar reward is entirely secondary.
These must be drinks available only in the huge # of vending machines they have there. Otherwise, people would just scan the codes on the shelf en masse (the pic shows the codes on the side, anyone scan one yet, lol?). In a vending machine (which they have crazy #s of vending machines there), they can hide the codes and keep them secure till purchased.
Kills me to think how many cartons probably just getting tossed by non-gamers... a chance at 600 packs! I play on the Asia server, ftp only, so that would be so sweet.
well TECHNICALLY you wouldn't be ftp anymore when you buy the tea, would you? :)
Do I remember right, that Khadgar hasn’t been purchasable in Europe whatsoever?
Only for iPhone for a few months
Ok dude, ok, I knew I will eventually move to asia.
Ey not bad!, i would like to have that promos in Argentina but ok it's how asia works.
Argentina :/ ... We don't get a single promotion here... (no nos dan nunca una promoción)
Not even close of that but, hope is the last that we lose xd, (ni cerca, pero la esperanza es lo ultimo que se pierde no? xd)
How to teabag people wanting Khadgar by Blizzard.
Shut up and take my mo... oh wait, it's Asia only :(
Teastone
I don't care about Khadgar but I want tea with hearthstone art in my stores!
Good to know about a promotion that locks out 2/3 of the servers and only taiwan? Oh ok not even all asians can get access to it. Nice touch. Get this outta here
oh come on not again . give europe and us more chacne to get those heroes . ( i need kadghar and tyrande)
Well, I can wait no longer...
I NEED TO LIVE IN ASIA!
I hope that tea tastes like shit
It tastes realy salty for you at least :P
joke is on you, in asia are tons of tea flavors, so most of them are extremly ugly for us, but they drink them not just for flavor but the benefit those teas have, so, your "hope" is alrady done, and no one in asia cares xd
us needs more promos
