Moonkin Hatchling and Lil' Ragnaros Now Available
|
Blizzard posted:
We're pleased to announce that the two recently revealed in-game pets, Lil' Ragnaros and the Moonkin Hatchling, will make their way to the Pet Store section of the online Blizzard Store November 29 at a price of $10 each.
Lil' Ragnaros, the Tiniest Firelord
Ragnaros, the dread master of all fire elementals, will return in Cataclysm to avenge his defeat in Molten Core. And what better way to head into battle than with a miniature version of the firelord himself following at your beck and call? Lil' Ragnaros, just like his full-scale namesake, burns with constant fury (not to mention flames that serve as a handy cooking fire) and comes equipped with the legendary hammer Sulfuras. And as a being of pure elemental fire, he has no need to walk from place to place -- he just submerges into the magma below the world's surface when you start walking and reemerges when you stop.
Moonkin Hatchling Charity Pet -- For the Children!
The googly-eyed Moonkin Hatchling, which comes in unique Horde and Alliance versions, will occasionally plant flowers at your feet, and happily /dances with any willing partners. Like last year's Pandaren Monk, the Moonkin Hatchling has a soft spot for helping children. For every Moonkin Hatchling adopted from November 29 through December 31, 2010, Blizzard Entertainment will donate 50% of the $10 purchase price to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Thanks to the support of all the World of Warcraft players out there who purchased the Pandaren Monk last year, we were able to donate more than $1.1 million to Make-A-Wish this past February. We?re looking forward to making another big contribution to this great cause on behalf of the World of Warcraft community following the close of this year?s promotion.
To learn more about the Pet Store, please visit the Pet Store FAQ, and for more information about the Make-A-Wish Foundation? in the U.S. visit www.wish.org and outside the U.S. visit www.worldwish.org.
So will you be buying one?

Ya, will buy both. I have 107 pets (not including the new Cata pets) and I can't not buy them. At least they give money to the Wish Foundation, it makes it a little easier to swallow. lol.

I'd never buy a pet, but if I was going to it would be Lil'Ragnarous that is freaken cool and because I've been around since vanilla it means something to me.
The problem is when I bought the Vanilla CE they gave me the best pet possible. Mini Diablo, I have no need for any other pets

I don't think I would buy the pets, but this mount is another story.

I think I'd like to buy the mount too, I've heard good things about it. All characters on your account, including new characters you make after the fact? Sounds good to me, for charity is even better. I really don't like the look of the mount though. I wish it was cooler looking.

Freshly born from the Twisting Nether, the Celestial Steed flying mount lets you travel in style astride wings of pure elemental stardust. So saddle up, because this supernatural warhorse will fly as fast as your riding skill will take you, and it will travel at 310% speed if you have at least one other 310% mount.

Bought Lil' Rag...I've not had him run around too much, however...he doesn't run after you per say...he goes underground and folows you as a flame then pops up.
*And you can actually cook on the little Bastid...lol

Anyone know if that means one 310% already on that character or on any character? If any then I'd buy it - buy 310% once and save myself the tens of thousands of gold getting 310 for other chars.

I will never pay real money for a pet or mount. I encourage all other people to buy them though. Keeps my subscription cost from raising if they can make money this way.

I disagree. If they wanted to raise subscription costs they would despite these sales. I don't think Blizzard would ever be in a need to increase sub costs, so if they did, it would be because they wanted to, not because they needed to.

The Celestial Steed simply goes as fast as your character can already go. You still have to buy each level of flying from the trainer for each character.

I'll never pay for pets, mounts, or any game data and it irritates me that this stuff is available anywhere other than in the game (like via trading cards, blizconn, whatever). It's bad enough that cheaters buy gold and toons to escape earning their own way, but paying cash data directly is really weak.
IMO it cheapens your in-game accomplishments when players can just buy their way to cool stuff.
I can't fault Bliz for taking your cash though. More power to them for coming up with more ways to milk (some) players. It's kind of hilarious and beautiful in a way (as a programmer/designer).
