The decline of World of Warcraft players numbers has been previously attributed mainly on Eastern markets, even though Activision did not make any specific comments on this latest subscriber decline.

Here's how you can get your complimentary World of Warcraft epic mount Hearthsteed Following the official release of World of Warcraft last night, Blizzard is giving away a free epic mount to World of Warcraft owners if they play enough games of the new game of cards.

Hearthsteed looks like a fantastical Pegasus, with a nifty blue glowing effect. Dataminers have previously discovered an red-glow version of the mount in an WoW patch, which was presumed as an Horde model of Hearthsteed however this is no longer the case. You'll only get a glowing blue version now.

To gain the mount you'll have to win three games against human adversaries playing in World of Warcraft 's Play or Arena modes. Not too tricky... however this does mean that you'll need for a long time to experience World of Warcraft to get an knowledge and understanding of how the game works.

If you've been playing World of Warcraft already, you'll need to score three more wins cheap WOW WOTLK Classic Gold  to become qualified. It's obvious when you see your Mount Up! recognition (pictured on the left).

This has now become regular release of new content WOTLK Gold . It must feel like you're close to being on the right track at this time.It's been freeing. We've been thinking about our game's design and the way we distribute parts of the game in a slightly different manner. 

It was in the past that we released more discreet patches--a patch is simply "this amount of" content, and you get it at this time and everything in the game is made available. As we start building content ahead of time, if we've gotten an item in the Tomb of Sargeras in the game before it's complete, it's the perfect time to put us inside the Tomb of Sargeras. This will allow us to release the raid, or any content that's time-gated at the date that makes sense. It's not a good idea to make it available too early.

If we'd launched it in 7.2 I'd suggest that it'd probably feel like we didn't have enough time to play Nighthold. I'm sure there are plenty of guilds working their way through some of the last bosses, and if we'd waited longer, it'd be like being staying in Nighthold all night. It's not uncommon for a raid to drag on and lose your enthusiasm, and so separating these two elements has been liberating. It gives us a little more room to listen to feedback and see how that people are responding to the game they're playing and release content when we feel it's appropriate.

With the size of 7.2 was Did you feel an extra pressure to provide more with the next patch? Are you feeling that gives you the freedom to focus solely on class modifications and the sort of things you'd expect from .5 patches?

I'm not sure if this is "pressure" that we experience. I mean, as WoW's development continues the team has become an inch or two bigger and our efficiency has probably increased as well, so patches are becoming larger as time passes. It doesn't mean every patch needs to be bigger than the last. 7.2.5 certainly isn't nearly as huge as 7.2 It's not, however, never meant to be. It's more of an opportunity to discover other parts of Azeroth that aren't as closely related to The Legion storyline. 7.2 covered the assault on the Broken Shore and the cheap WOW WOTLK Classic Gold Legionfall campaign, and both are very much in the story of Legion that is working with Illidan and fighting the Legion.
