Or at least add them and remove them accordingly to the patches like how content was added.

"Dude awesome mount! Where did you get it?!"

"I have been playing here since launch, Limited time mount availability like how it was in retail."

"Thats awesome!! I'm so jealous!"


Something along those lines.

No, limited availability is dumb. Any mount collectors that miss limited time mounts will immediately be put off. There's no worse feeling than knowing you missed the bus on something cool and special.

I know there's an argument to be made for rewarding those who were here first, and for being able to show off, but I personally don't think that's worth alienating new players down the road.

SanderP, you have not included the [Reins of the Bengal Tiger] -myth and legend.
Isn't it good to add this mount for collectors - like the talisman.

    "Regarding equipment, we decided to introduce the Talisman of Binding Shard for example."
    Viper - Question about the timeline & PvP.

Check it ! myths and urban legends
You tell me. ;)

Please, excuse me for my poor English. :?

This. +1

While we're at it, if we're talking donations, you could put up some toy items on there as well, however few Vanilla has. Just make them unlimited uses. There are some people, like myself, that would make sure to get every single one of em.

Toys are fun! *excited clapping and jumping*

Do you think that means they're doing it blizzlike? As in, before BWL was released. Tier 1 and 2 were obtainable in MC, including Talisman of the Binding Shard.
And then in preparation for BWL's release, in patch 1.4, the Talisman became no longer obtainable along with the Tier 2 sets (save the pants from rag and helm from ony). The Tier 2 sets were then once again obtainable in the BWL patch, but the Talisman was never put back in the game.

If I remember correctly, only one person ever had it drop, and he got to keep the item after it was removed from the game's loot.

I don't think that the staff will modify the loot table to add T2 to MC ( except Ragnaros off course )

That would also make the most sense to me, seeing as we all know T2 is coming anyways with BWL's release. But I'd be curious seeing the Talisman drop. But the question is, would it be removed like in Vanilla when BWL is released? Or will it drop somewhere else than MC entirely?

I also think it's the only necklace that has a visual effect on the wearer, if I remember correctly? I think it was a lightning orb or something, like Shaman's Lightning Shield.

I don't know about the visual effect, but those RF and RN are something

When was T2 in MC except legs on Rag? And that's not the topic either.
