Celestial Steed to be sold in the Blizzard Store

**Odon** · 2010-04-15 10:37

According to the Blizzard store, the Lil' XT companion pet and the Celestial Steed mounts will be available from the Blizzard Store! This is the first time Blizzard sells a mount through the Blizzard store, we don't have the price yet but we can assume we'll hear about it very soon.

The Celestial Steed seems to scale depending on your existing mounts. If you already have a 310% flying mount, the celestial steed will be a 310% as well. If you don't, it will just be a regular 280% flying mount. (or 150% if you never bought the epic flying skill)

The Celestial Steed mount costs 20€/$25.

Such a slippery slope rofl.

I don't see a problem with it. It's the same thing as TCG except you're not playing a chance game everytime you buy a booster pack. It's not like someone buying this mount is going to hurt someones gameplay.

Hooray! I can get what I want without spending an exorbitant amount of money!

Fine with me, better than playing the lottery with those stupid packs of cards (not that I did much after I discovered I did not like it). I'm not sure about the mount, but I'm seriously considering that pet...

I don't either, but I didn't expect THIS mount to be sold for money.

Slippery slope heading down the path to eventual F2P MMOs. Lets say you can now buy a recolor of the Arena Glad. mounts, a recolored Arthas mount, a recolored proto drake, and a recolored chopper.

...wait, I'd actually buy the chopper recolor.

Get that shit on the website.

Ah okay, fair enough. Yeah I didn't think this was going to be sold for money either. I wonder if they will sell the Celestial Dragon too.

**Odon** · 2010-04-15 11:33

Updated with price, looks like I'm buying one lol.

**dbdesigns** · 2010-04-15 11:42

I'm buying one!

**Lucavi** · 2010-04-15 11:45

Sell the choppah!

**samalis** · 2010-04-15 11:45

Just bought it. lol I was thinking it was going to be $50. $25 is good for me!

**Boyiee** · 2010-04-15 12:52

It's a slippery slope cause we wow could turn into maplestory.

First sell some mounts, then some armor/weapons, then gold.

I'd be careful buying this until they fix whatever the fuck their problem is, I went to buy it and got an error at the conformation screen only to find out they charged me 5 times and overdrew my account and I didn't even get the mount code, Spoke to someone at Blizzard and they said a lot of people are having this issue. Been trying to get back in touch with Blizzard but its impossible to get through on the phone now. God damnit.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Thank god I ordered mine before the rush. I hear there's a big queue to order it now which is kinda crazy,

Can't wait till I can pay for epic weapons that never drop in instances.

Vanity pets/mounts are fine..but you KNOW this is going to go further and further down the road. It started with pets, now a mount. It's like that Aion thing where you paid 100$ or something for a year subscription, just to get some dye and crap items.

Blizzard has repeatedly stated that the items sold in the store would always be for cosmetic purposes only, and there's really no problem with that in my opinion.

**Odon** · 2010-04-15 13:14

Exactly, hence the slippery slope.

**SamanosukeShiva** · 2010-04-15 13:32
