Oh, WoW! A Pet Store!

Posted by Edo

Update: It appears the Pet Store link is not working. Interesting…

Blizzard Pets

You know how much I # WoW. The raids, instances, gear, auctions, and comradarie; I # all that. So when I found out that the Blizzard Store has just put up two in-game pets for REAL-MONEY on sale, for use in the VIRTUAL World of Warcraft (WoW) realm, I was stoked. It’s the first time Blizzard has made this kind of service available. At the cost of $10 per pet…

For many folks, this is no big deal. There are a lot of games out today that give you the option of spending your cold-hard cash for in-game currency, goods and other services. So why should WoW be any different? Well, aside from the $15 a month I spend on WoW membership, what’s another $10, right? Before you know it, we’ll all have the chance to parade around in our Tier 8 gear with the hautest pets in tow. Just shell out the cash at the Blizzard Store! /w00t! (Actually, this is kind of a touchy subject. And I would have to agree. Check out the banter betwen the fanboys here). Regardless of how I, or how many others feel for that matter, these pets are actually CoolAzifug.

The two new non-combat pets are (as quoted from store):

  • Lil’ K.T. (pictured left) :: What Lil’ K.T. lacks in size, he more than makes up for in sheer malicious intensity. Watch with misplaced pride as he randomly freezes critters and laughs maniacally at your vanquished PvP foes. Once activated, this World of Warcraft in-game pet key applies to all present and future characters on a single World of Warcraft license
  • Pandaren Monk (pictured right) :: Possessing the diplomatic humbleness common to his reclusive race, the Pandaren Monk accompanies you on your journeys throughout Azeroth, returning any /bows he receives from other players. Half of the proceeds to every Pandaren Monk purchased through December 31, 2009 will be donated to the Make-a-Wish Foundation, further demonstrating his benevolent nature (though, in idle moments, he may still practice his Kung Fu moves). Once activated, this World of Warcraft in-game pet key applies to all present and future characters on a single World of Warcraft license.
  • Again, they run $10 each.
