So this is very good news for those of us with collector’s edition pets or Blizzcon attendees. Following this nice pattern of making certain items bound to your account, Blizzard has decided to make special pets and event rewards shareable between your characters. Now if this works for Horde and Alliance characters or cross server deals I’m not sure, but if they can get the tech right I’d be VERY happy.
The following items will be changed to “Account Bound ” items:
- Murky (Blue Murloc Egg)
- Tyriel’s Hilt
- Murloc Costume
- All of the collector’s edition pets
Also, for the “pet” items, we’re making it so that adding the pet to your collection will not remove the item from your inventory. With that change, you’ll be able to learn Murky on any character on the same realm with the character that currently has Murky. It also means that if you own the original Collector’s Edition, you’ll be able to have all 3 pets (Zerg, Diablo, Panda) by mailing the items between characters. If this works out well in the Beta and people like the change, we’ll keep it in. One minor note to current Beta players: If you already “consumed” your item by adding a pet to your collection, you will not be able to get it back. This is a “beta only” side-effect that would not exist in the actual game. (src)
