The Warlords of Draenor pre-order is now available! I was very excited yesterday afternoon when I found out and when I got home I wasted no time loading my battlenet launcher. The store was a little wabbly but it finally loaded...

#IntPiPoMo 2013 #3: The Enchanted Fey Dragon
I gave in and purchased the special bundle which includes the Enchanted Fey Dragon and the Alterac Brew-Pup - both of which I love and have been waiting some time for.
It seems they're a fairly big hit within the community as I've seen a lot around...
IntPiPoMo Progress: 21/50

Community Blog Topic: What would you buy from the in-game store?
This weeks Community Blog Topic is not only a rather controversial one but it's right at the forefront of recent WoW related news!
Robin Torres asks "What would you buy from the in-game store?".
Robin would like to see transmog sets. She suggests "witch sets for warlocks and mages or kung fu sets for monks" and note that se wrote this before the transmog helms were announced, which are now purchaseable. I do like a spot of transmog and I do like the idea of transmoggable item skins. However, at £10 a helm this is certainly above what I'd be willing to pay!

Blossoming Ancient!
I know there's been a lot of these posts the past few days but I couldn't help it - I wanted to show mine off too! Yesterday the boyf purchased me a Blossoming Ancient as a belated birthday gift. It's quite simply an amazing pet and I'm properly in love with it *big grin*. I can't wait to see him change with the seasons...
It's also worth noting that the Blossoming Ancient is £7 from the Blizzard Store unlike the other pets which are £9.

10 Days of Pet Battles: Day 5
Day 5: What pet do you want more than any other pet? What would you do to
get it?
I currently have 417 unique pets in my collection (which you can view here) out of the 560 pets that are available (I think). So yeah I'm not doing amazingly but I'm not doing too bad.
But which pet do I really, really want? Well I can think of several so I'm going to do a run down of the top 5 (in no particular order)...

I just think these guys are awesome. I really like the Sea Pony and worked hard to get it. Then when I saw the puffer I just wanted it! I've been quite lazy and never got around to purchasing one - they're trading card loot you see.
The Panda Cub came with the World of Warcraft Collectors Edition and is incredibly cute. However, as much as I like this pet I don't think I'd ever be prepared to pay the price for the Collector's Edition. Plus, there are now new panda pets in game... Panda's with tails :)
The Golden Pig is another promotional pet to celebrate Chinese new year and so I'll never be able to get one. I guess if it were available for caging in-game I would consider paying for it.
These pets are purchaseable from the Blizzard store and come as part of purchasing the plush cuddly toys. I love how they look and the toys! If I had to choose just one it would be the Wind Rider Cub for two reasons - 1) I prefer it and 2) there's now a gryphon hatchling in-game (Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling).
Now, I only saw this pet in the pet journal as I was skimming through to jog my mind about pets that I really want. I think it's new (I'm fairly sure I'd have noticed it before now!). It drops from an elite, G'nathus, who can be found in Townlong Steppes. I know where I'm going in a minute...

10 Days of Pet Battles: Day 3
It's been a while since I posted as part of Navimie's 10 Days of Pet Battles - I've been spending to much time getting eaten by dino's!
Day 3: Who is your favourite pet? If you could bring it out into the real world, tell me what you imagine you would be doing.
When I met Navi back in January she asked me about my favourite pet and it seems that it's one of her top questions to ask those she Navispams. Back then I told her that Xsinthis, my cinder kitten, was certainly one of my favourite pets. I received Xsinthis from Eric Dekker (author of the Golden Crusade) as part of Blog Azeroths Furtive Father Winter and you can read my post about my gift here.
I love the animations of the cinder kitten and it's also a good pet for battling. Just incase you don't have a cinder kitten of your own and haven't seen the animations here's a video I found on youtube:
Aside from Xsinthis I'm also a big fan of my Moonkin Hatchling(s) which the boyf got for me. The hatchling can be purchased from the Blizzard store but it's a bit of a bargain as you get two different skins - one for Alliance and one for Horde.
As for the second part of the question - if I had my own cinder kitten I'd envision it playing about in a field of long grass, chasing birds etc. If the Moonkin Hatchling was real I'd love to walk down the street with it fluttering along beside me (again, they have cool animations).

The Pet & Mount Store - Some Recent Purchases
The Blizzard Store have been doing a fair few offers recently. Last week, in-game mounts were half price (reduced to £8.50 each) and now the in-game companions are reduced (to £4.50 each). The Blizzard Store is in itself an interesting topic. I have no objections to Blizzard selling in-game pets / mounts for real-life money. At the end of the day they aren't a compulsory part of the game and people buy them voluntarily if they wish to. Despite this, some peopls will (and do) argue that Bizzard are trying to make money out of the fan-base. Perhaps this is true, but it should be remembered that these same moaners often stll have active subscriptions to the game and are themseslves paying Blizzard each month to play the game!
Anyway, this post is really just about my recent purchase and my surprise gift. I have always loved and wanted the sparkle pony (Celestial Steed). Last week I was in two-minds about purchasing the mount. My two arguments were : Could I afford to spend the £8.50 on an in-game item? vs. Would it make more sense to buy it cheap now? In the end I flipped a coin and purchased the mount. I didn't see my boyfriend until the next day as he was leaving for work and all he said was "check your e-mail". I realised that he, knowing I was in two-minds about the purchase, had also gone and got me the mount. Fortunately, Blizz are refunding this purchase.
The last three days I've been quite ill and in a bit of a daze. Last night, I was sat minding my own business when he told me to check my e-mails. This time he had purchased me a Moonkin Hatchling. These guys are so cute and probably the only pet I would consider purchasing. You also, to some extent, get two pets out of it. They come in two colour morphs - blue for Alliance and brown for Horde. My boyfriend also purchased himself a Moonkin Hatchling aswell as a Pandaren Monk (whom he's named 'Po').
