Non-Combat Pet and Mount Changes

If you are anything like Alassiel, and to a certain extend myself, half you bank if filled with non-combat (or vanity) pets. They there is your mounts, I only carry two but I know some carry several more for variety purposes. All of this adds up and, if on top of that, you are a Warlock or Hunter and have a whole bag slot taken up by arrows or soul shards or even a druid with 5 sets of gear (yes I’m talking about you Skyer) then every spare slot counts. Blizzard have decided to help you out, starting in Wrath of the Litch King non-combat pets and mounts will count as spells and subsequently not take up space in your bag or bank. Better yet it means in a single instance you could cycle through every one of you 50 different “favourites”. To make this work each non-combat pet or mount will actually be an item which you consume to learn the spell. Hopefully you will get an extra tab in your spell book to accommodate all of these new spells or the general tab could become very cluttered.

The Beta Forums are also live here.

It appears that some invites have already gone out to European players. Invite codes are not account specific so if you get a beta code and you want to give it to me please let me know via comment, in game or through our guild forums.

WotLK Beta Opt-In

Did you know you can opt in to participate in the Wrath of the Litch King Beta? All you have to do is visit the official World of Warcraft website and go to the Beta opt-in page. From this pool a random selection of people will be chosen to participate, so even if you haven’t opted-in yet you still have time. Good luck everyone!

I have chosen to opt-in and would be ecstatic if I get to participate. I have no intention of playing through to beta end game but an opportunity to check out the world and see the new abilities first hand is just too good to pass up.


If you do opt-in be VERY careful of any emails you receive confirming your acceptance. There will lots of fake emails going around saying you are successful with links to key loggers and dodgy sites this is called Phishing. If you get such an email check the Blizzard forums and big news sites such as Wow Insider to confirm that Beta invites have gone out. Also carefully read the email, look for spelling and grammar mistakes, strange links, incorrect graphics and other errors that you would NOT get in an official email. There are some excellent websites for more information on this such as APWG and the Microsoft info site.
