Pets hit the Online Store!

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?

EDIT: It's been 6 hours and I have given in and got the other one... I'm such a sucker for cute stuff :(

...Did you say Love Rocket?

Oh yes, for those who’ve always wanted to zoom about on a gigantic stick of candy floss, good news!

mmochampion have just released sneak pics of two new mounts, to be released with patch 3.3, with gossip that the pink rocket may be a rare drop from the "Love is in the Air" valentines event. Yay new mounts! /squeal

Let’s hope if that is the case, it’s a better drop rate then the stupid Hallows End mount.

Seriously, did ANYONE score The Horseman's Reins this year?

Happy Halloween!

I live in Australia, where we do not get to enjoy the thrill of dressing up in white curtains, knocking on stranger’s door and eating things like “Candy Corn” and “Candied Apple”

So naturally this holiday is always a lot of fun for me, since I cannot celebrate IRL ::sadface::

Here is what is in store for us:

Visiting Inns around Azeroth, Outland and Northrend will yield you candy and gold! You can visit each candy bucket once, and will receive, from each one, approx. 6 gold and a “handful of candy”, A container which holds some yummy treats.

Trick Or Treat! – This is what It is all about. Visiting a innkeeper once an hour will give you the chance of receiving a Treat bag full of goodies, or get turned into..Something.. Like Worms and Ghosts.

- Sinister Squashling Another pet for your collection! Rare drop from the Headless Horseman, a Daily in the SM Graveyard, Alternatively from the Treat bag from Innkeepers

- Soothing Spearmint Candy, Pyroblast Cinnamon Ball, G.N.E.R.D.S. Wicked buff food, each can be found in Treat Bags or Handful Of Candy. All these foods stack with each other, and also with your flasks and normal food buff food/feasts, Making this a perfect addition to your raid consumables. The buff they give also stacks to 4, so make sure you max it out.

- Rickety Magic Broom, Flying Broom Fun Brooms to whizz around in! 2 types, both scale with your skill, so if you have Flying trained yours will indeed lift off the ground in Outland and Northrend. Unfortunately these do disappear after the holiday.

Happy Holidays!

A Tribute to Insanity Beasted

So this was my 2nd week in 10 man Trial of the Grand Crusade. Last time we made it to the cache with 25 attempts left and this week…

50 Attempts left? Oh yeah!

Afew deaths dotted around each fight, but no wipes and lots of shaky hands at the end of Anub’s defeat! Our makeup was DK and Paladin tanks, Shaman, Paladin and Druid healers, and DPS we had a Moonkin, two Rogues, an Arcane Mage and a Shadowpriest.

So what dropped? 4 Trophies of the Crusade, a Caster mace, a cute lil’ pony mount, and a Sexy caster cloak which I was lucky enough to snag!


Shawl of Fervent Crusader, Heartcrusher, Swift Alliance Steed, Swift Alliance Steed x4

Grats to my raid for a “Tribute to Insanity”

Anyone else been lucky enough to snag this ach? Celebrate with me!
