It started with me waking up this morning to a SMS from a friend.
Fel: Amg Blizz opened a new way of getting money from us by buying the non-combat pets :) so i bought the 2 they had up!!! the Pandaran Monk and lil KT. They so Cute!
Me: Wah? How much are they?
Fel: 10 bucks each!
Me: Logging in now! brt!
As of today, you can buy pets using your real life gold($)!
There are currently two pets available, both as adorable as each other, and both guaranteed to fill up Blizz's already bulging coffers.
Of coarse the forums and trade channels are going ballistic with comments regarding what a load of rubbish this all is, a total waste of money that could be better spent on your sisters birthday or starving 3rd world country children. This "throwing away" money business is probably second to that silly MMO game, World of Warcraft, that sucks the life out of millions of people around the world each day, and demands money each month before so.. no wait... I play that...
Anyways... So I got one! And I must say, he's a cutie lil' fat ball of kung fu fighting mastery! And this is probably the most money I have donated to a charity since I bought that pen in Kmart 2 months ago..
And now where to go?
If you feel like dipping your toes into the forum war and voicing your opinion on the new Pet Store, go here!
If you cannot wait and want one RIGHT NOW, go here!
So hands up who got a pet? Did you stop at one or get the pair?

ReplyDeleteI also "strongly encouraged" Brade to get at least the monk!
