Making Promotional Mounts Widely Available

We’ve recently monitored a situation where a limited promotional mount ended up being much less available than players expected. However, we have a good plan for future access to the mount.

Since the introduction of the Trading Post, we’ve considered each new promotional mount to be destined to eventually become available to players via the Trading Post. This allows us to first offer a new mount to a specific community, such as a single country, as a promotional item that has limited availability, and then later remove its ‘limited’ status altogether.

It is our plan with each new limited promotional mount to bring the mount to all players at a later date in the Trading Post, and if we deviate from that plan, we’ll let you know.

Can this same plan be applied to pets, house decor, transmogs and maybe even those previously exclusive to Chinese realms (but still shipped in all of our WoW clients) as well?

Those items are NetEase exclusives, doubtful they’ll be available outside of China without NetEase’s approval.

Hence the maybe, doesn’t hurt to ask or to keep bringing it up, especially given they’re in our clients as well given we share a client with China.

I’m not gonna buy pringles until I see it in stock.

Didn’t know this was a thing / the Pringle’s mount I mean but now that I seen it . I would not even spend the tender on it let alone be a fool that buys tons of a product to get a mount from a game.
