WotLK: Mounts & Vanity Pets


It seems that, contrary to popular belief, the developers for the World of Warcraft that we know and love have hooked us up once again. CM Wyrixian of the WoW-Europe forums just informed the world that we won't have to worry about bag space or bank space when it comes to vanity pets and our mounts, be they land or flying.

What Blizzard has decided to do is pretty neat, and a simple fix for what seemed like a complex issue. Now when you purchase your mount or get a new vanity pet you won't have to worry about what you're going to take out of your bags to put in your bank. The item in your bags will work like recipes do: you simply right-click that new Cenarion War Hippogryph and learn the mount spell. They'll be added to a new Pet tab in the character sheet interface. The icon will be deleted from your bag space and you'll be good to go.

Then, I'm assuming all it takes is dragging the new spell to your action bars and carrying on as usual.

I know this is great news for all you vanity pet collectors out there, as well as you engineers with mounts galore from crafting/reputation.
