I know you, Ghost Griffon!

Tuesdays are quickly becomes the day of the week that takes the most out of me. So, when I got home tonight I see the new revamped Scroll of Resurrection is out. I like the Scroll of Resurrection program, other than for all of Wrath if would only work on accounts with the Burning Crusade or lower which made no sense. Also in the past SoR have only worked once per account(of which its not clear if they reset that or not). There are many reasons this is a cool deal but the one that seems to be getting all the press are the new mounts. The Sparkle Griffin and Stars the Wind riders.


I seen this Griffin and I was like. I know you. You've been in the game since patch 1.12. In fact if you have ever died in Storm peaks you also know this mount as well.

So, here is the story back in the Original wow Blizzard took its first go and recreating "world PvP"(yeah I know) with the Sand lol in Silithus and "The game of towers" in the Eastern Plaguelands, which turned the four existing towers into captureable PvP points. Thing is no one did it, in fact most of the time when you did the quest you wouldn't see anyone else.

Why all this matters is, when you captured the Plaguewood Tower it would open up a Spectral gryphon that would send you on a one way trip to the any of other towers. Not bad. Not really overly useful but not bad. So, I guess I just find it funny that people are is such a hurry to get a mount that has basically been in the game for five and a half years. Yeah it doesn't have the cool stars on the inside. But it really does make you wonder. Are most Warcraft players you see with this mount are really all closet Twilight fans?

I leave you with screenshot of Sayomara flying by the original Naxx on the Spectral gryphon. And no Scroll of Resurrection can ever recreate this screenshot.

I remember Naxxramas was crazy to me flying so close by. As you flew by Naxxramas had a huge scale. To say nothing of how creepy it was, you almost expected some undead gargoyles to comes out of the skies and grab you.

The mood and scale was something that sadly didn't move the Northred with Naxx.

Its strange to look back some times.
