Celestial Steed and Lil'XT

[Slats]

I dont understand why multiboxers dont love this.

If someone had said to you a year ago, pay $25 per account. Now every character you create will get a mount in their mailbox.

At level 20 it will be a 60% speed ground mount.
At level 40 it will be a 100% speed ground mount.
At level 60 it will be a 150% speed flying mount/100% speed ground mount.
At level 70 it can be a 280% speed flying mount/100% speed ground mount.

You would JUMP at the chance. This is one less hassle to deal with on 5 accounts accross characters with multiple races and having to go to different cities to purchase mounts. And your characters can all look the same which is something many boxers covet greatly.

I've bought one for my main account and will probably buy 4 more. At the end of the day I'm supporting Blizzard to make even more incredible games and to buy products and things about WoW that I like.

If you box 5 accounts at $15 each per month you already pay $900 a year in subscription fees. Whats another $125 once off to gain such a great benefit?

So what if everyone has one, the novelty will wear off and people will go back to using whatever they like best. Some people cant just stand that everyone has the same cool new toy as them. Well in WoW you cant be a unique individual, ever. :P

I have not bought any (don't know if i will) but it sounds practical that it is both a ground and flying mount. I saw someone last night afk on the mount in the middle of daleran - thats not possible on anything normal that can fly. Seems nice not to have to shift between flying/ground mounts based on where you are. Maybe.

If it's anything like the Headless Horseman's Mount, you still need to dismount and remount when going between flight and no-flight zones. The HH mount doesn't automatically transition. When you fly into Dalaran, you'll get dismounted and have to summon again to have the "non-flying" version, even though it's the same mount. Likewise, while on the ground mount version, you won't automatically shift to the flyable mount when you reach Krasus Landing.

You do have to remount between ground / flight.


I'd just like to add a quote I saw on the wow forums yesterday about it.

"Having a core hound pup pet proves you have an authenticator...Having a Celestial Steed proves you have a job"

Im part of the "no real benefit" crowd. If it was auto 310 speed, id be on it. Otherwise, you have to run all the way to the trainer to get your riding skills anyhow. The mount merchant is right next to them. Its the training that costs money, not the mount.

Dunno though, I still ride the epic windriders because their graphic is small. I hate drakes wings filling so much of my screen.

If they could sell a filter for all the spam this created in the trade chat, id pay them $25.

And having multiple accounts with multiple Celestial Steed proves?

More RMT will surely come out after this and it will slowly destroy the balance of the game. Yes they do made money out of it. But average people who plays the game for $15 a month will slowly realize that they are spending too much and quit the game sooner or later. If free games with RMT model didn't last, what more with subscription based?
