… but I’m cozy right here and already took off my shoes. We are just having a discussion about the merits of changing our beloved Classic WoW. You shouldn’t be so dismissive of other people’s opinions, my good man.
And Justan, if this thread just said “I think we should have Murky back, it’d be a nice nod to original players” then this would be a very successful thread.
Instead, you have said, and I will quote:
(yes, in two different posts)
(you like this phrase! +1)
(and kicking rocks too!)
So, in conclusion… wait, what were we talking about again?
I did give a logical argument. Blizz has a deadline bearing down on them like a runaway Kodo and Murky just ain’t a top prority. And unfortunately they do not have you on their development team because you know how to one-click-fix these types of problems.
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but Murky was a Loot Gift part of the free “Blizzard Swag” during the October 28-29 BlizzCon event (2005).
He was not obtainable in Classic any other way. And there was only a few thousand copies made as well, making it one of the rarest to obtain pets even today. Unless they add a new swag version at their next BlizzCon, Murky doesn’t seem to have a place in the new Classic game.
70% of parents DISPLAY favoritism amongst their children, the other 30% are just doing a better job of it… Blizzard has always had a hard time doing a good job of things.
Murky was a limited edition event pet, not a collectors edition (CE) pet that came with the game or a pre-order. If you participated in the 2005 BlizzCon event and obtained a Murky egg, try using it in Ironforge to unlock it in Classic. Maybe it will work - but maybe the loot codes are only connected to the retail game too. Regardless of if it works or not, you would still need have obtained the item during that 2005 BlizzCon event in order to get the Murky pet. Without that code, there is still no way of obtaining it in Classic or in Retail.
If you do happen to have such a loot code, I would recommend opening a ticket when Classic opens up to ask one of the Gamemasters if the code is something that will function properly on the new Classic realms.
