Key Takeaways

As a seasoned WoW enthusiast with over a decade of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but be excited about Blizzard’s latest subscription offer! With four unique mounts and a pet for both WoW and WoW Classic, it feels like a dream come true for any appearance-driven reward collector.


In the past few months, “World of Warcraft” has moved into its War Within expansion, while “World of Warcraft Classic” is now five months into its Cataclysm era. As always, Blizzard continues to work hard to keep gamers engaged with “World of Warcraft,” and this includes a fresh subscription deal as part of their ongoing strategy.

Blizzard is offering an enticing deal for those who buy a year-long subscription to World of Warcraft. This package includes exclusive mounts that can be used in both World of Warcraft and Cataclysm Classic, a companion pet, and additional items soon to be revealed. Although these bonus items don’t drastically alter the gameplay in World of Warcraft, they might persuade players who haven’t played for a while to return and draw newcomers to try out World of Warcraft: The War Within and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic.

World of Warcraft’s Subscription Offer Features Four Mounts for WoW and Cataclysm Classic

In the present 12-month subscription package for World of Warcraft, the most significant incentive is a collection of four unique mounts. Three of these can be utilized within World of Warcraft, while one is exclusive to World of Warcraft Classic. Here’s a breakdown of the mounts you’ll receive with your subscription:

  • Startouched Furline Skyriding mount (World of Warcraft)
  • Gigantic Grrloc ground mount (World of Warcraft)
  • Charming Courier Skyriding mount (World of Warcraft)
  • Lava Drake flying mount (World of Warcraft Classic)

The Startouched Furline Skyriding mount is a sizable feline mount that “flies” by running in the air, its blue-glowing tail and paws lighting up the sky. The Gigantic Grrloc ground mount is almost identical to the Gargantuan Grrloc mount that was featured in a previous subscription offer, in that it is a giant Murloc that runs on all fours. The main difference here is the Gigantic Grrloc’s red color. Finally, the Charming Courier Skyriding mount is a giant blue-glowing owl that flies gracefully through the skies.

Initially, exceptional Drake flying mounts in World of Warcraft were highly valued and frequently demanded numerous hours of reputation building before they could be obtained. Similarly, while acquiring a Drake mount is relatively straightforward in World of Warcraft Classic, the game’s top Drake mounts remain desirable primarily due to their unique appearance. Consequently, enthusiasts of World of Warcraft Classic who aspire to own an attractive Drake mount should not overlook the Lava Drake flying mount that comes with WoW’s 12-month subscription package.

Each mount included in the

subscription offer also features a unique animation.

A New Pet Is Also Included in the World of Warcraft Subscription Offer

Beyond the four mounts offered in the 12-month World of Warcraft Classic subscription, you’ll receive the Swoopy owl pet as an added bonus. The Swoopy owl resembles a smaller version of the Charming Courier Skyriding mount available, but it does have unique traits to make it stand out. Interestingly, Swoopy was also part of a 6-month World of Warcraft subscription promotion earlier this year.

Two More Upcoming Bonus Items Will Be Revealed and Added at a Later Date

In addition, it’s worth noting that the ongoing 12-month subscription package for World of Warcraft conceals two more items as of now. Blizzard has announced these mystery items will be unveiled and granted to annual subscribers during their Lunar New Year festival in 2025. Given this, it’s likely they will carry a Lunar New Year theme. The official image for the subscription offer hints at their nature, suggesting they are a flying Lunar New Year Drake mount for World of Warcraft and a Lunar New Year Drake pet for World of Warcraft Classic.
