And if you wanted to preview one in the wild, there's a next of hippo hatchlings hanging just above the Alliance town in Howling Fjord.

It's a lovely pet, and it's nice in that it really does open the door for more TCG items to be re-released for the shop (even ignoring the charity thing, which is awesome). But I can't help but feel a little frustrated. The card for my hippogryph hatchling cost me $50, and only applied to one character--this is a fifth the price, and goes to every character on the account.
I'll still likely get it, since it's for a good cause and my hippogryph rider nelf has been racechanged since then, but... eh. Miffed, I supposed, that I wasted money better spent elsewhere on an item I could have had for a fraction of the cost had I waited.

The statement "To be fair" meaning that Blizzard isn't trying to market it as a brand new pet (like some people are trying to claim they are, although not necessarily on these forums), and that they've admitted they copied it from the TCG card.isyris wrote:That doesn't really make it fair.TygerDarkstorm wrote:To be fair, Blizzard outright said that it's a copy of the TCG hatchling.
Not to mention, you can't blame Blizzard because you chose to pay $50 for some pixels. It was their choice to offer it as the donation pet (100% donation mind you). They could have done nothing at all.

Right, no more smilies to indicate tone. Gotcha, friend.TygerDarkstorm wrote:The statement "To be fair" meaning that Blizzard isn't trying to market it as a brand new pet (like some people are trying to claim they are, although not necessarily on these forums), and that they've admitted they copied it from the TCG card.isyris wrote:That doesn't really make it fair.TygerDarkstorm wrote:To be fair, Blizzard outright said that it's a copy of the TCG hatchling.

And, as I pointed out, I was miffed with myself.

Re: Cenarion Hatchling - Help Japan!
But, long story short.
Glad that this is 100% profits, you really can't go wrong with that. And I'm glad its the little Hatchling, I've been buying TCG booster packs since they very first came out, and despite how much I've spent I've only found one mount/minipet loot card. I <3 my hatchling.
Re: Cenarion Hatchling - Help Japan!
But...other countries need charity more than Japan, but nobody cares. Just sayin'.

Re: Cenarion Hatchling - Help Japan!
It's honestly not Blizzard's job to cater to the world and offer us pets in the name of charity. You shouldn't have to be given a reward to want to do something good in the world, imo.
I think Blizzard mostly got hounded about not having a public donation because NCSoft did one.

I believe that 50% ($5 US) goes to the Make A Wish Foundation when you buy the Moonkin hatchling.
No rush for people to get it today since it's going from now till July 31st. But this little one is a must have for me.

Re: Cenarion Hatchling - Help Japan!
Who gives a poop how it looks ... 100% to chairty ... What other reason do you need? I use to donate alot to chairty with no reward for doing it atleast Blizzard are trying to get their gamers to donate and they give you something in return for doing it.
OMG its the same model as a loot card! ... Oh wait isn't there lootcare versions of store pets? Same models .. like most things in WoW ...
Sorry for the ranting I know someone will have ago at me for having a point of view as always ... no wonder I don't come here anymore much -.- (no offence Mania your forums and websites are amazing! *drools*)
I think if you can you should get one ... When my BF saw it he wanted to get me one just cas he knew it was helping people ... And he doesn't play or really like WoW or Blizzard (silly failbox gamer >.>)
And just to point it out ... They are different colors ... Its going to chairty NOT BLIZZARD ... Yes it lasts until the 31st of July but by then most if not all players will have one apart from anyone who plays after the 31st :3 I hope the mount still has some chairty theme to it like for the 'make a wish'
I wish more gmaing companies did what Blizzard did, rewarding for donating AND giving people something they have wanted for awhile since you either can't find the lootcard or it costs 100+ ...
Just stop the stupid hate and if you have one you have one your TCG will be different from the store just like all the others that Blizzard have done -.-
Again sorry for my rant and rambling but Im sick of hearing the same bullpoop each time ...
Re: Cenarion Hatchling - Help Japan!
I have a little extra cash this month, so if you are not able to afford one of your own but you still want to help, please send me a PM and I'll see what I can do. (This offer only good until I run out of cash! )
EU players: Last time I tried to purchase codes for the EU region, it all sort of blew up. I'm willing to try, but I can't promise that it will work.

It actually makes a lot of sense, really, after reading your post.

Re: Cenarion Hatchling - Help Japan!
I am not trying to "have a go at you" but just wanted to clarify that the reason I had put the July 31st date was simply FYI information for those who may not be able to get one right now or even in the next two weeks. For some, it's not that they don't want to donate it's simply that they may not have the means to donate.
Big 's and <3 to Mania for offering to help out those who may not be able to.

I don't think Lilatha's post was directed at you so much as it was directed at people complaining about the pet being reused.zedxrgal wrote:Lilatha,
