Ya I know..I just wanna try the PTR to test out different classes at 70 to see what my second 70 should be after my hunter. I appreciate the reply though. (Sorry for getting off-topic Mania)

I don’t think the PTR is up currently, Knarcus. Further, not sure if this is what your getting at, but Mania and crew aren’t on the PTRs currently, they are in the beta for the expansion, Wrath of the Lich King.

Oh thank god! I love you for bringing me this good news!!!! I can finally have a ghost saber and keep it! Humar too!

On a side note, I was wondering if anyone would mind explaining to me how to get on the PTR. My game name is Knarcus, 70 Tauren hunter on Boulderfist realm.

*Gasps* Makoes, you tamed Red XII!!! *LAUGHS* *Coughs* Sorry, over that. I’ve had a white warg since level eleven, when I tamed Timber. Upgraded later, for the then shadow damage Lupos, and was so proud I named her Luposi. This was also back when pets couldn’t be named after any pre-existing names, including beasts and such. Worked Lu into a storyline with my Illidius, and my kitten Kiera. I wouldn’t trade either out for the world at this point, to emotionally attached. Thats why its such good news that I don’t have to tame things for new abilities anymore, and that I get an entire two new stable slots cleared up. Wrath is looking better and better.

Well, just saw how rediculously strong chimara is a littlw while ago. Can’t remember exact numbers, but I do know you get a wicked attack for low focus at an instant rate with a 10 second cooldown. BROKE! That’s alli really can say. I know people say that it will even out eventually, and that players will use the critter that goes with their playing style… but come on. Who wouldn;t play with something that powerful? Well,I won’t. But I am sure everybody and their brother will be playing the new, more powerful tamables. I know i cry about this all the time but, if you are gonna make the new pets so powerful, why not make the other pets comparable. I thought bears and tallstriders really got the goods when it came to the stuff, but what the chimera are getting is just BROKE. lol Oh well, enough crying. i am off to play WoW . Haven’t been to see my pets since last night. Just had to stop in and out my 2 cents woth in. Am I alone in feeling this way though? I mean, amI really the only person who feels that some pets families are getting stacked while other are being lost in the shuffle?

Regarding the stable slot price: making 200 gold is somewhere around 15 daily quests or 10 normal quests for a level-capped player. Given that you aren’t going to be keeping 5 pets equal level with you while levelling (it’s a struggle to do that with even 3 pets), I expect the intention is for players to get the first two slots early on in their hunter career in order to try out different pets, and then get the other two slots when they are at or near the level cap.

And for alts and existing level 70 hunters, 200g is already fairly cheap.
