Planned sellout of BC?

[Merusk]

it was even better, becuase you used it on someone else - you fire an arrow at someone, and he follows that person around just like their pet.

There were 2 versions.. a permenent pet and the arrows.   I loved the arrows, because our GL hated the little goblin.  I'd fire it at him in the middle of raids just to hear him bitch about, "..this freaky green thing following me again!"

I just got my only-available-to-Horde Black Tabby cat.  Used to be called a Maine Coon cat.

Traded a horde guy for the Prairie Chicken from Westfall (I did the quest, he picked up the egg).

Still trying to get an emerald whelpling.  On my third toon toward 60 and sick of farming dream whelps. 

I want a mini-orc on a leash.

yeah, i had loads of the normal arrows (the ones that stuck the pet on someone else) but i also scored 3 of the permanent pet ones.

They had a similar deal with the rose petals.  you could get piles of rose petals (made rose petals flutter around a targeted character) which you had only a limited quantity (and they had an expiry date) or if you were lucky, you could get a Bouquet of roses, which was a permanent item, held in the offhand, that you could use to generate the rose petal effect (not sure what the cooldown on it was).

The rose petals were great.  I wiped one of our vael attempts when i dropped the things on vael.  The rose petals scaled in size relative to the target, so Vael had these volkswagon size rose pettals falling everywhere around him, and loads of people suffered massive visual lag and promptly died. (i always wanted to try it on Ragnaros, just for a gag.)

OOh, I didn't know there was a permanent rose petal item.  That was a pretty cool effect.

[Furiously]

I'm a bit surprised that Amazon seems to be the only store carrying this so far.

Price seems reasonable as well.

[Xanthippe]

Gamestop has it too.

[Numtini]

EB/Gamestop actually sent me an email telling me it was available and how to go about placing an order and then cancelling my original regular order.

[Morfiend]

My Murky pretty much rules everything.

Although, being a rogue, I cant keep him out in PVP, since he is a dead giveaway when im stealthed.

DANCE MURKY DANCE!

Noob Question: is buying BC worth it if you're not at level 50 yet?

[stray]

No. Not unless you think the 2 new races (and their respective starting zones) are worth $50.

Level cap is 60 btw..

Noob Question: is buying BC worth it if you're not at level 50 yet?

Yes, for the pets, for the sightseeing, for the quests, and for the gathering professions (although I expect the new starting zones to be a zoo for a few months).

[stray]

What sightseeing? Outland isn't open access for newbs (unless you want to die). Besides that, you get newb Draenei and Blood Elf starting zones, but that's only about 2 or 3 hours worth of questing. Comstar, if he plays casually, but consistently, will probably be in his 30's or 40's by the time the expansion hits. Why would he want to pay extra cash just to see newb zones he can't do anything in (seriously...I'm just wondering)?

The pet does nothing, and it's only a part of the collector's edition (last I checked) A collector's edition which is probably going to be $20-30 more than the regular edition.

If this was an expansion that actually added a large variety of new gameplay for people across all levels (like Jump to Lightspeed or the Guild Wars expansions do), then it'd be worth it.
