It's a bird... It's a plane... It's a
flying
spectral tiger! That's right, China is also celebrating World of Warcraft's 20th Anniversary with a slew of announcements, including a Xal'atath navigation system voiceover and a Classic-only
Flying Swift Spectral Tiger
mount bundle for the low price of ¥1888 ($265 USD) or a discounted price of ¥588 ($82 USD) for owners of the original!
The Chinese exclusive promotions include a Xal'atath navigation system voiceover pack for Baidu maps and the Flying Swift Spectral Tiger!
Classic Swift Spectral Tiger Promotion
Being an extremely rare TCG prize, there aren't too many owners of the original mount in the west, though it's actually much more common in China. Prior to
last years' shutdown
, NetEase sold the elusive
날쌘 유령 호랑이 고삐
as part of a
Burning Crusade Classic bundle
for ¥1,688 (around $267 USD at the time), and is now allowing players who bought the previous bundle to upgrade to the new one for a discounted price. The new bundle also comes with three Halloween-themed toys: the
으스스한 모닥불
,
구슬 속의 임프
, and
가짜 석관
, the last of which is still fairly rare and at least
somewhat
compensates for the otherwise exorbitant price tag.
The exclusive Flying Swift Spectral Tiger is identical to the original in every way, except it can "fly" through the air at 310 speed.
NetEase Celebrates 20 Years of World of Warcraft
NetEase announced WoW's 20th Anniversary with a slew of new promotions.
The flying tiger was one of several promotions revealed last week during a player and press conference with NetEase and World of Warcraft managing sub-studio Leihuo, which highlighted the upcoming release of
Classic Era and Classic Hardcore realms
, an
Ulduar speed run tournament
(note that Chinese servers are still progressing through an accelerated version of Classic Wrath before progressing on to Cataclysm), a
Warcraft x NetEase music app event
, and even a
Xal'atath navigational voiceover
for Baidu maps similar to the
Thrall voice pack for Waze
released in the United States.
The event even featured a (not so) real-life Brutosaur, though sadly it also went extinct quickly thereafter.
This past June,
World of Warcraft returned to China
in a big way, leading with various
promotions
and even a new
15-meter Gorehowl statue
! Boasting over two million pre-registered players just two days after the initial announcement, they've since revealed more than a million simultaneous players over the last 80 days.
Within two days of their return announcement, over two million players pre-registered, 147,000 accounts were reactivated, 92,000 accounts were recovered, and Blizzard China received 1,000+ job resumes! Since relaunching, they've had more than a million simultaneous players over the last 80 days.
Sales, Promotions, and More MTX
Business may be booming, but while Chinese players are generally more willing to pay for microtransactions and other gaming advantages than their western counterparts, not everyone is happy with the growing monetization. Even by Chinese standards, NetEase managing sub-studio Leihuo is
notorious
for being microtransaction heavy, having cultivated a reputation for "ruining" several (mostly mobile) games with inordinately heavy MTX and pay-to-win mechanics. With the prevalence of boosts, sales, and
increasingly expensive store items
, some players can't help but wonder exactly how far their wallets will be expected to go.
Although the Flying Tiger is Classic only, Retail isn't being left out - Chinese players can also buy the new
무역상의 금빛 브루토사우루스 고삐
and an extra 2,000
여행자의 인장
for ¥888 or ~$125 USD!
