There's a bit of confusion going on at the moment regarding Gilneas.

Gilneas, the phased starting area where the worgen will level, will NOT be available in 4.0.3a.
The Ruins of Gilneas, the unphased version of Gilneas that can be found in the southwestern corner of Silverpine Forest, WILL be available in 4.0.3a.

That means the following pets WILL be available in 4.0.3a:

Highlands Fox

Gilnean Hound

Enjoy! :D

Very odd. Must be just to allow the pets be available.

I love the unphased version of Gilneas. It's like an empty dollhouse that you can play in. Really awesome atmosphere and scenery. I don't think there's any aggressive mobs within the city either...would make a great stage for a guild event. :D

No problem! :D Can thank Petopian gchat for prompting the post. ;) I had visions of hundreds of frantic hunters debating the point tomorrow...! :lol:

The whole area is MASSIVE. Plenty of room for hide 'n seek. ;) Nice atmosphere too. It's kind of like the unphased DK starter area, only there's actually the handful of beasts in it instead of it being an empty shell.

are we completely SURE?

it may be present, but will it actually be accessible without the expansion? it is still technically a new zone, people still without BC still can't access ghostlands from the plaguelands afterall...

Also, I second that we should have some guild events there =3

Not only that.. I foresee a lot RPers/RP guilds flocking there as well. In fact, just the other night I saw quite a few people doing just that on the current PTRs.
I'm not much into it, myself (maybe once in a long while) but I can certainly see the appeal for role play within the zone. :D

Sweet! Thank you Kali,awesome news. That white fox is looking better and better every time I see her!

Umm...I'm not into it,but I can see this becoming the new place to ERP. Sort of like the new Goldshire./shivers...I hope not.
