Time to take a minute from gaming...

So we are live with BC. And let me say - very cool. We of course went through the portal, saw all the fun stuff those above 58 can do, then logged and created new characters. I have made a BE mage, Schokti, and Scott a BE rogue, Skandell. So far, I am loving the mage - of course, she is tougher than a few of the other cloth wearers I have since I have started pimping her out right from the beginning. I am loving the mana tap ability - it is astounding how often I use it. The elves are fantastic - there isn't much I don't like.

But there is one thing.

What the h-e-hockey sticks is up with the purple ostriches? I know, they are called hawkstriders, but you can name them what ever you want - they are still retarded. They look like if we get into trouble we will bury our heads in the sand! And the epic ones? More colourful! Yay - let's breed a parrot and an ostrich! These are elves, people - can we please have a slightly more graceful mount? I am told they are adapted from some other game or something (Final Fantasy comes to mind, but I am not one hundred percent sure) - chocobos or something or other. When did Blizzard decide to compete with that?

It is only one issue, but to me it is a big one. You can bet your hiney I will be plugging my rep with Orgrimmar to get a wolf. Fast.

YAY! You are in TBC!! Gratz on rolling a BE Mage. I chose the mage for the same reason. Although, I'm also debating rolling a hunter, too, as they were my first love, though painfully boring late at night, they are easy to level solo.
