Who would have thought..?

Celestial Steed WoW Mount

…that a Celestial Steed mount could be this fun?

I’ve always thought they were sorta spiffy looking, but everyone seems to have one, and well… $25.00..?!

Then I changed my tune after Blizz kicked one down to me after their announcement about canceling the WoW magazine. This is a really cool mount. 🙂

Even when I got the mount I was in no hurry to use it. I learned it and went about my business, then a few days ago I hit my GoGo button (which randomly picks one off the hitching post) and it put me up on this guy. I had forgotten about it, which made the experience doubly awesome. It felt very ‘Clash of the Titans’.

Anyway… the reason Blizzard comped me a free Celestial Steed is because I had a pre-paid subscription for the WoW magazine. When they elected to quit the run and cancel future publishing, they sent an email out to subscribers asking if they’d prefer a consolation gift of 6 free Blizzard pet store pets, or a refund on the remaining portion of the subscription. I opted for the pets, ’cause I was thinking… “hey, that’s $60 worth of free pets – I’ll go for that!”

Then I kicked myself afterward because I realized, what the heck do I need 6 companion pets for..?! I should have just gone for the cash, which probably would have been around $40-$45. Oh well… that was money already spent, so may as well do something ‘fun’ with it.

Well, I’m not a huge cutesy companion pet guy, but I’m not regretting the decision anymore. I have only brought out one of the pets so far, but it’s one of my new all-time favorites, and his name’s Lil’ KT. He’s awesome. Took me a little bit to get used to his haunting laugh after every time I killed something, but now I don’t want to play without it. 😀

As an added bonus, Blizzard then sent another email out offering everyone another consolation prize – this one being my new winged space horsey. So all in all, I’m very happy with all of the presents I’ve gotten from Blizz the past few weeks.

So, those of you that were subscribed to the WoW magazine, did you go for the refund or for the loot?

Lawman30’s entry

June 3, 2010 By Garwulf 7 Comments

Hall of Explorers in Ironforge

The air in the Hall of Explorers was stale. The smell of old books reminded Rustee of legendary, sometimes lost, things. That was, after all, why he was here. Why he had spent all of his spare time reading every last book that he thought might contain a clue that would lead him to that which he sought. The Celestial Steed.

High Explorer Magellas had been tolerant of Rustee’s repeated visits to the Hall. His questions, at first, had seemed very unassuming. What was he looking for? Was it something that the Explorer’s League might have information on which could be used to help him in his search? Rustee had responded to those questions with answers that were equally unassuming. But when he finally reached the point where he thought that no book here had his answer, Rustee confided in Magellas the true nature of his search. [Read more…] about Lawman30’s entry

Kelwina’s entry

June 3, 2010 By Garwulf 4 Comments

Kel’s entry was another solid submission in the Celestial Steed Contest. Enjoy.

Celestial Steed

The sound of waves crashing against the wooden vessel met the long ears of the Night Elf who sat inside her cabin below deck. The boat’s rocking kept her from enjoying any sleep and allowed her mind to wander to the mysteries of her destination. Days previous, the magnificent Stormwind City was besieged by the wretched Scourge. Led by the messenger of the Lich King himself, the army damaged the great harbor and gave the members of the Alliance the last push they needed to bring the war to the undead. The Night Elf Kelwina had fought bravely during the attack on Stormwind and for that reason enlisted into the Alliance Vanguard and grudgingly accepted. Now the Alliance warship was on its way to Valiance Keep, one of many new Alliance strongholds. [Read more…] about Kelwina’s entry

Boz’s Entry

May 25, 2010 By Garwulf 6 Comments

Boz took a deep breath as he stepped out of the portal and into the fresh air of Dalaran, taking a moment to rest on a bench near the central fountain. He stretched his arms wide across the bench and slid down, flopping his head back to look skyward, taking a long, deep breath. It felt good to clear his lungs of the rot that permeated Icecrown Citadel and the warm air felt wonderful on his skin as the ice melted from his spaulders. Though Sindragosa would no longer threaten the world, the Frost Dragon’s effects were not so easy to dismiss from his exhausted body so soon.

It was then Boz saw it descend and light upon the grass of the park: A steed woven with stars. They twisted and swirled inside its body, which seemed bound by the very essence of the universe. He rubbed his eyes with his thumb and forefinger, but there was no disputing the image before him, and its soft whinny confirmed what his eyes told him. On its back rode – of all things – the filth of the Horde. The same Horde that had that very day attempted to prevent his assault on Icecrown Citadel. Their pettiness in the face of obliteration was disgusting. How did they not see that the Alliance was trying to save everyone, Horde and Alliance alike?

The star pony seemed to agree with Boz, as it buckled under the weight of the fat Tauren stressing its spine. At least, he imagined it had a spine, or possibly a constellation. It was difficult to say, but he imagined briefly the pony’s cry for release; to be free. Where had it come from? What was it, exactly? His heart ached to help the poor animal. Cows were not meant to ride horses, let alone such a majestic creature! [Read more…] about Boz’s Entry
