    Bernard: "Pet Store","A mastiff bred for rescue, Bernard's bloodline is famous for having found and resuscitated many mountain travellers trapped beneath the snow... and then slobbering all over them."
    Abilities: Disruption, Bark, The Good Stuff, Avalanche, Tough n' Cuddly, and Call the Pack.

    Edit: "Pet Store" is probably a placeholder because I think this is actually the new RAF pet and they just don't have the right text for that yet.

    Murkalot: "Promotion: BlizzCon 2013","We're Crusaders from a fable. We dance whene'er we're able. We do routines and chorus scenes, with footwork impeccable!"
    Abilities: Lash, Blessed Hammer, Shieldstorm, Righteous Inspiration, Reflective Shield, and Falling Murloc.

    Is the new RAF mount going to replace the current one like they been doing everytime they release a new RAF mount? Might have to find a friend to recruit because I regret not obtaining the Zebra mount from the original RAF.

    No, it sounds like they're planning on making all of the RAF mounts available on an in-game vendor that requires a special 'token' that you get for doing RAF - so you can get 1 of any of the mounts per RAF.

    Looks like they're finally making changes to how the RaF system is done.

    Yes, you will no longer be able to obtain the Obsidian Nightwing if the Emerald Hippogryph is the new RaF mount (which is looks like it will be)

    "Friends In Places Even Higher Than That (New) Obtain an Emerald Hippogryph mount through the Recruit-a-Friend program. Account Wide."

    ... Ok, I will admit that I am now greatly tempted to just RAF with myself. >_<

    Read it again! You get to choose now which RAF mount you want, presumably going back to the zebra. Which really just means "we are desperate enough to get you to invite 5 friends that you get a mount for each friend now instead of just the one since they're account-wide now".

    It was a blue tweet a few days ago also I think.

    They already said they are making an in-game token vendor with all the old mounts plus the new one. Obsidian Nightwing won't be no longer obtainable once the new RAF system comes out.

    That's what I did to get the rocket. I'll probably do it again for the hippogryph, it's lovely. So glad if it isn't the new SoR mount.

    They're changing the RaF system so instead of going to the website to claim the current mount you're given a token ingame that you can exchange for any of the past RaF mounts or a pet at a vendor.
