Update: The Warforged Nightmare is now on the shop site!

Warforged Nightmare - Available Now In-Game Through the Shop
It looks like the Warforged Nightmare isn't available on the website yet, but it appears to be live in game in the US. This mount costs $30, which is $5 more than the usual $25 price.

Using the item that comes in the mail will give you the Nightmarish Hitching Post, which can be used to gain a buff that makes all of your mounts look like the Warforged Nightmare for the next 20 minutes.

    This is a new idea, Blizzard store mount with in game advertising 'try before you buy'. Really this kind of shit spoils a whole aspect of the game I used to enjoy, mount collecting. I hope your mountains of money keep you warm at night Blizzard, wouldn't want you to catch a cold.

    Yes. A 3 minute CD.

    I bought the mount because I love the looks of it. Metallic? Check. Horse? Check. Fire? Check. This is going to be my favourite mount for a long long time.

    "/ I want to collect my mounts through adventuring through Azeroth, befriending tribes and factions, besting dungeons and the foul beasts that inhabits them, overcoming countless challanges just to in the end obtain a mount/piece of gear/pet I can use with pride. I'm very sad that badass mounts end up in the store, hard to swallow with a sub-based game.

    lol man there is alot of QQ but what do I expect from MMO-Complainer forums.


    But I will say this, it's people's money and they can buy this mount if they want to or not it's optional and doesn't ruin the game. Personally I think the mount is cool but I'm not gonna pay money for it, and if it was in game I wouldn't want to work for it either, But it does look cool. And people saying the sparkly mount is awesome and shit, pffftt plz that mount I didn't like looked girly so guess what I didn't buy it! Same with the gey dragon mount. And I only bought the cosmetic xmog crown of eternal winter or w/e because it looks cool, and same with Iron sky reaver, and Armored BLood Wing they look cool so i bought them, if they don't I won't. And I'm not one of these ego snowflake people that they think they have to have a unique mount to stroke their epeen. I use the mount I like because I like it not because of what others think about it being rare ect...

    Also people saying it's a content drought, ICC, and DS were longer, SoO has been out I think 8 months. Also there are 2 different teams that work on mount art and content art such as raids,bgs ect... a mount takes much less time than actual content to make. A blue stated this a couple months ago. So many people in this thread that don't know the difference between mount design and actual content. But this comes at a perfect time for me, because my friend/raid leader/guildmaster owes me for Xferring his pally to our server. So I'm gonna have him repay me by buying this mount for me, yeah a $5 difference but not much. It looks cool, better than the grinning reaver imo I won't buy that mount. In all honesty yeah having amount in game is cool but if it doesn't look cool I won't try to raid or grind to get it. Like the MSV mount I really don't care for it so meh whatever. But this came at a PERFECT time for me The majority of people on these forums especially MMO-champion(complainers) will complain about any and every little damn thing.




























































































    So far I'm still enjoying the game since 05 and the content drought hasn't lessened my fun in anyway. I actually cancelled my ESO sub because I would only pop in now and then every 4 days or so because I still have a ton of stuff to do in WOW. Eso is a good game but $14.99 to pop in every week or so isn't worth it, I hope it goes F2P soon. TLDR:THE SKY ISN"T FALLING!

    If they made this as a raid mount or something I honestly wouldn't try, I don't think it's that cool to work for it.

    I think the Kor'kron War Wolf looks 100x better than the grinning reaver, I won't be buying that one. But to eeach their own

    Who cares about prestige? As long as I like mount my mount idc what others think. They can go circlejerk for all i care.

    If that's true, that accident is my favorite flying mount

    That's fair, to each his own. I would've done a rep grind or a farm of a particular instance boss but I am no raider so I would have chosen to wait to a later expansion.

    And on top of that other stuff keeps getting included into the store - Cosmetic armor, mass pets, max LVL Boost < Botters say thank you for easier botting, and the Weekly Charms farm made it into the PTR Version with a Developer defending the decision to include them in the game. It was super close to getting into the game.

    Each of the additions, like the recent additional effects for the Store-Mount/Pet may not seem like a big deal, but they are all on top of what was already introduced and keep piling up.
    As long as there is no gear with stats put into the game store I'm perfectly fine with all this. If they put heroic raid tier/pvp tier in the game store for a price then I would be mad because that is pay to win. This stuff is just vanity.

    edit:Ishould clarify I would be against the charm thing being int he store since it's current content atm, but if they had it available in WoD I wouldn't care since it's past content.

    $33 dollars Australian for this?! Thats half the cost of the game ffs.

    People need to stop buying this shit so Blizzard stops peddling it out.

    Spending money on a content dead game is not very wise .
    The money of the 7 million lemmings would better be invested in games that make content for their players .
    That way new design and gameplay would benefit from the bucks spent . Spending cash in wow is like rewarding standstill , lazyness ans greed .
    Just my 2 cents .

    Why? if someone likes it they have the right to buy it if they want. How does it exactly effect your gameplay?

    So ppl with jobs do not play WOW... just buy the mounts?

    There are plenty of ways to add content into WOW for less hardcore players. LFR for instance could have a special mount dropping.

    Your argument is simply not valid.

    As long as I'm enjoying the game I'll keep paying my sub, so far that's been 9 yrs. just my 2 cents.

    So prices are going up.. not only the xpac but now also for store mounts.

    Well, to all the people saying to players: just quit the game if you don't like it, instead of voicing your views to get things better: just keep encouriging that... and see the prices go up and up.
    The lesser players, the more expensive these things need to be, just to make up for absent customers.

    A mount isn't exactly content.

    Because people spending increasing money on these mounts sends the message that this type of content is acceptable by the player base. We are rewarding blizzard for not having new content for 10 months and by spending time on cash mounts.

    This effects my game play because in future the cash shop may include things I would otherwise earn in game and also detracts from Blizzard putting out meaningful content.

    This isn't content it's a vanity mount, not exactly rewarding since blizz has enough money to do what they want and it's optional for the players to buy these things or not. And no it doesn't there 2 different teams raid/bg content team is different than the mount design team.

    Hello!

    I have a good job, a beautiful girlfriend and a successful life. i enjoy WoW since its out 2004, as its a wonderful game! when i feel the game is not offering enough new things for me to do i just unsub, enjoy the other parts of my successful and joyful life and just return when blizzard created new content. i don't have to mention i didnt pay a buck while i was unsubbed and not playing and doing something else then playing a computer game (aka living and learning not whine and cry and complain about trivial, actually more then unimportant things).

    And know what? i ONLY pay 13 eurs a month for my wonderful hobby that offers me hours and hours and hours of leisure time. As i have a job that pays quite OKish i even have 25 eur for a nice little ride in this computer game, imagine that!!!. Thanks Blizzard that you put this one store so i can also use such a mount as i dont have the time and energy to hardcore raid, where most of the other cool mounts drop and you're lucky as hell.

    Thanks Blizz that you enrich my freetime and leisure life for that little money so much and all the best for you. Keep goin'!

    With all the sheeps buying this shit blizzard doesn't even have to give a fuck about subs. This company has 0 respect for their customers. Can I get the gateway to be fixed? No? How about 15 bucks? ffs
