The so said *NEW* racial mounts are available for sale in Stormwind already. As a matter of fact, I have them both, they are the Brown Horse Bridle in the first picture and the Black Stallion Bridle in the second picture.

So, those are just placeholder models, is this a joke or Blizzard thinks we are plain stupid?

OK let's check for overheating, then.

Open up your case and use some canned air to blow out all the accumulated dust inside, ensuring that all your fans are spinning properly (including your CPU, GPU, and motherboard fans). If you have a laptop, blow that air through all the vents.

Next, download and run the free temp-monitoring utility HWMonitor http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html and sit on the loading screen for a few minutes if you can. After 5 minutes (or after it crashes), Alt+Tab out and check the temperature of your CPU & video card. Please post the readings here in Celsius, and include both the "Current" and "Max" readings.

UPDATE:

There was some miscommunication regarding the initial reason why these mounts were added. After talking with the devs again these mounts are actually being added because they already happened to be available and we thought it’d be nice to make them able to be purchased and ridden. Which is unfortunately quite a bit different than how we understood and framed the blog.

Their existence also allows us to give players that faction change to Worgen something in exchange for their old racial mount. Right now if you faction change to Worgen you lose your previous home-faction mounts, and so we’re also trying to correct that with this change.

Be honest: that's the problem. People are makin' a big deal outta this 'cause you made a big deal outta this.


Perhaps.

The intention wasn't really to hype this up, so much as to simply inform and reduce confusion. Our thought was, rather than let these be introduced without any context via data-mining, that it seemed like a better idea to introduce them ourselves with a bit of context.
