Porcupine and silkworm tameability: GC approved
I just got word back from Noah and he gave me the go-ahead to let you all know.
The ability to tame porcupines and silkworms currently on the beta is not intended. The only reason they can be tamed is that those NPCs were initially boars that they changed to other things. The taming flag and family remained on by mistake. A very fun mistake!
That doesn't mean that they won't end up tameable, either (though I personally severely doubt silkworms will be!). According to Noah they're still deciding on what they want tameable.
The reason I asked if I could post this now is so everyone gets used to the idea that those pets may or may not remain with us, and they don't get their hearts set on them. If they go it won't be a such huge shock.
On the other hand, there should be many awesome new tameable things to come! I'm excited to see what they do pick (and having sceptically tamed a porcupine I really found it a credible pet and I hope it stays too!)

I'd gladly trade both of those in for hydras or mushans though.

Re: Porcupine and silkworm tameability is unintentional
Right now then I'm dissapointed with what we are seeing for MoP. I know it's not done yet, but still. Loosing porcupines is going to hurt for a lot of you, I feel for you on that. Considering the amount of exploring that's already been done, I don't think we are going to see a lot more.
The one I really want is the mantidtank. But not going to hold my breath on that. Will be planning on using some of my old-school pets.

Something tells me in Panda I'll be running with 2 spirit beasts, Trex, Chromag, and either a boar or undead eagle. As much as I like the new tiger skins, they are going to be way too common early on.
