Welcome to Northrend!

Friday, November 14th, 2008

I am pleased to announce that Warcraft Mounts has been updated for Wrath of the Lich King!

You can find all the new Wrath mounts on one handy Wrath of the Lich King page. I’ve also added a page for Achievement mounts and another for the Death Knights.

In fact, there are all sorts of handy new pages — at least I hope they are handy! — so take a poke around and let me know what you think.

I’m still doing some minor clean-up here (the database is temporarily unavailable and if you are reading this blog on the site rather than through a feed reader, you’ll notice that it doesn’t currently match the rest of the site) — but I should have everything tidied away in just a few hours.

However … I know that I am still missing some of the information on the Northrend mounts, so if you see something missing please drop me a line and I will get it updated as soon as I can. The information that you guys sent me over the past few weeks was absolutely invaluable in getting updated for Wrath. So let me say: Thank you! And: Keep it coming!

Warcraft Mounts Updated for Patch 3.0

Monday, October 20th, 2008

You can find the new mounts from Patch 3.0 on the Recent Additions page. The new mounts aren’t fully tied into the rest of the site yet; unfortunately some of the mount changes in this patch have broken my scripts so I’m going to have to spend some time updating everything, but I did want to (finally, belatedly) get these live mounts up.

Back in the Saddle

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

World of Warcraft Patch 3.0 is launching today for the US realms, and I believe tomorrow for the EU realms. So my time is up — I gotta get updated!

There are a lot of neat new mount-related things in Patch 3.0. The biggest is probably the new mount UI, which we had talked about previously a little bit. I want to get a short article written up on that, but regardless you are going to see a lot of people asking where their mounts went for the new few weeks. *grin*

We will also be seeing some new mounts with this patch! The most exciting (to me): the Albino Drake, a reward for the Leading the Cavalry achievement of collecting 50 mounts. We’ll also doubtless see some lucky BlizzCon attendees with their BlizzCon bear mounts.

Unfortunately we are also saying goodbye to the chance to get the Amani War Bear from Zul’Aman. If you have one you get to keep it, but if you don’t have one yet I am afraid you’re out of luck.

Now I’m going to ask for your help. I’ve been behind on updating this site, so I need to get that fixed ASAP. In addition to the Patch 3.0 changes, I’ve also missed … let’s see … adding the Zhevra and the Brewfest Mounts, right? What else am I forgetting? What other mounts (besides those I mentioned above) are included in Patch 3.0 that I need to get added?
