It would also be awesome if your 'non-combat' pet could be sent to attack other non-combat pets.

Ordinarily I don't care much about pets and other vanity items, but one that laughs at people you kill in BGs? That might be worth it.

Only problem is that my main is a rogue- I felt kinda stupid the first time I got killed when someone figured out that the lone pet coming at them belonged to a stealthy.

said by Derlos :

Does the monk pet attack stuff like that as well? I want a pet that actively runs around and smashes the faces of all rats/bunnys/deer/squirells ect. It would also be awesome if your 'non-combat' pet could be sent to attack other non-combat pets. The pets could scale with your gear/level.

there's no way to make the transaction securely so there will be lots of scammers.

said by XanCore :

I got Lil KT last night. I'll probably get the Monk, I know for sure my fiancee will want the Monk too.

Yes, when you purchase the pet, every single toon you have on the account gets one.

Lil KT is awesome.

I didn't get much time to see him last night, but I did go into a BG and he does laugh at players when you kill them. If you stand idle he also shoots frostbolts at critters, it puts them in a iceblock then breaks, then you hear KT's famous laugh, that "BAHAHAHAHAHA!" XD .. I was standing in the Dalaran sewers and he shot a rat with it, took about 3 minutes though.

Pretty cool pet.

said by Derlos :

Saw a few Trade Channel spammers selling these pets for 3000g. Pretty sure they sold.

Just one is a donation.

said by Dunm :

I bought them both yesterday. I was just going to buy the Pandaren because I applaud the donation Blizzard is making and wanted to support it... but while I was there LIl' KT just looked so cool. I'm sure they planned in that way, lol, they figured peole would come buy the charity one and end up buying the other one at the same time, effectively letting them donate $5 and keep $15 :)

said by Spazmoto :

Why not 100% of the money to charity?

I'm nearing boycott level.

said by Krisnatharok :

Tried to buy them but Blizz is checking my IP and not letting me pay with a US credit card from Costa Rica. Is t3h suxx0r.

I have absolutely zero problem with Blizzard monetizing stuff like this. They already do it through the TCG except there's a middle man.

The line I draw in the sand is where there's a game altering experience that's more than cosmetic.

•310% mounts
•Armor/Weapons
•BoA stuff
•Pre-Leveled Toons (though I'd be hard pressed not to purchase...)
•etc...

WTF kinda hope you gonna spur up in little Jimmy with terminal cancer for $5? They should just do like most other places do, send all the procedes to them. I mean, they obviously are not hurting for money (11+ million subscribers x 15$ per month). Even if you subtract operating cost I am sure they can afford $10 per purchase to go straight to the Foundation. Way to be greedy Blizz.

Wow has been "ruined" according to people unhappy with one or two aspects of the game since its inception. Since it began, it's been ruined by rooftop camping, the removal of rooftop camping, the lack of honor, the implementation of honor, the lack of dishonor, the implementation of dishonor, the removal of dishonor, the removal of wall walking, rank rewards, decaying rank, the removal of rank decay, the removal of PVP titles, Ahn'Qiraj, Scourge Invasion, Zul'Gurub, the cost of mounts, the lack of information about TBC, all information released about TBC, playable Blood Elves, playable Draenei, Horde Paladins, Alliance Shamans, flying mounts, the timing of the release of TBC, the cost of flight, Jewelcrafting, the LFG channel, holding people accountable to the Terms of Use, meeting stones, arenas, the number of arena teams one player can have, arena-based gear rewards, the lack of battlegrounds, the addition of battlegrounds, everything about battlegrounds, Illidan being killable, Daily quests, instance-based reputations, the Darkmoon Faire, /pizza, playable wisps, Tinfoil Hat, the Armory, Warden, the lack of information about Wrath, all information about Wrath, a failure to revamp old world areas, the inability to transfer from PVE to PVP servers, hero classes, siege engines, cold weather flying, Wintergrasp being a PVP zone, death knights, the inability to start a new character of any class at 55 or higher, the lack of a dance studio, character recustomization, the inability to change race or faction, the cost of mammoths and motorcycles, the fall damage negation of mammoths and motorcycles, the removal of fall damage negation from mammoths and motorcycles, the ability to transfer from PVE to PVP servers, dual specs, Achievements, holiday events, Mountain Dew Game Fuel, streaming Blizzcon ’09 on pay per view, the revamping of Onyxia’s Lair, Worgen for the Alliance, Goblins for the Horde, revamped old world areas, the ability to change faction, the ability to change race, new race/class combinations, purchasable vanity pets, as well as weekly maintenance and patches 1.1 through the current one inclusive.

In that time, while WoW was being ruined by all of the above, WoW has quintupled its subscriber base. So don' t be disappointed if Blizzard doesn't leap to change whatever you say is killing the game.

For every Pandaren Monk that finds its way to a player’s side between now and the end of the year (December 31, 2009 at 11:59 PDT), we’ll donate 50 percent of the $10 purchasing price to the Make-a-Wish Foundation in an effort to brew up a little hope, strength, and joy in a child’s life.

Today we’re pleased to introduce the Pet Store for World of Warcraft, a new way for players to obtain in-game pets to join them on their adventures in Azeroth. Two brand-new companions are now available for purchase exclusively at the Pet Store in the online Blizzard Store: Lil’ K.T. and the Pandaren Monk.

Make a Difference: Pandaren Monk Charity Pet

Enter the Pandaren Monk, ( »us.blizzard.com/store/details.xm···00000763 ) a martial-arts expert who’s here to help celebrate the upcoming fifth anniversary of World of Warcraft. He may be cute, but he’s proof that even the softest of critters can overcome the hardest of circumstances. For every Pandaren Monk that finds its way to a player’s side between now and the end of the year (December 31, 2009 at 11:59 PDT), we’ll donate 50 percent of the $10 purchasing price to the Make-a-Wish Foundation in an effort to brew up a little hope, strength, and joy in a child’s life.

Lil’ K.T., the Littlest Lich

Lil’ K.T. is a miniature lich who bears a striking resemblance to the legendary lord of Naxxramas, Kel’Thuzad. But don’t let his diminutive stature fool you: Lil’ K.T. has a diabolical laugh and wields true power at his bony fingertips, randomly wreaking icy havoc on critters who dare to cross his path. You can now buy this new pet for $10 on the Blizzard Store. (»us.blizzard.com/store/ )

In order to receive a purchased pet, you’ll need to merge your World of Warcraft account with a Battle.net account. For more information on Battle.net, please visit the FAQ.
