This mount.. needs to happen

[Yahavage]

I was so very much hoping this thread wouldn't happen. I knew it was inevitable, but a small part of me hoped people would be content enough not to ask. Hopes dashed. I don't want this mount to become a thing. I really don't. Events are far and few so taking part should be this special thing, and the event mount is one of those special things that should stay special. The moment you release it to the wilds of the player population, it stops being special. And when it stops being special, then nothing is special (about it).

While I appreciate your sentiment... it's an Elbst mount, it's hardly the most dramatic thing ever xD I also quite like this re-skinned version better than the original, which, lets be honest, the colour sometimes reminds me of the contents of my hankies when I'm ill :x

[Kairobot]

Please reskin the Sahagin mount to this colorful one! Make it happen SE....I know you can... ><b

[Niota]

I tried to zone out with the lil bugger and he wouldn't come with me.

Please give us event/holiday specific mounts!

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you can get it presently.. but after running around on this beastie for the quest.. can I keep him? >w>

[Noshpan]

I was like "Why does this have to look so much more awesome than the one you can buy from the Sahaguin vendor?"

[Gilraen]

It's a goldfish elbst, of course it looks better... also this sentiment of want for it seems to be a Western one as I can't find anyone talking about it on the Japanese forums, though there is one thread asking for a watermelon splitting mini-game.

Why does something stop being special if someone owns it? Are wedding rings not special? Homes? Cars? I have a candle holder sitting next to my window that was probably one of hundreds of thousands massed produced in a factory but its one of my favorite possessions. It is special to me. The same is true in game, some of my favorite items are very common (Immortal Flames GC sword and bladed lantern shield! Mammet minion!) and who's to say if the moonfaire elbst was given to the players that it would be common? Would it make it more special to you if it was difficult to obtain?

Not sure what you're point is here :P Can other language groups and cultures playing the game not have wants or requests?

This sentiment of want for it seems to be a Japanese one as I can't find anyone talking about it on the English forums, though there is one thread asking for a colorful Elbst mount.

:P

hahaha omg you tried to make off with the event-mobile?! xD
I find this awesomely hilarious! xDDDDDDD

The NPCs all standing there going "Ohhh the adventurer is the greatest!" & "What a role-model" and you're trying to hot-wire the elbst. XD

[Gramul]

Please no more reskins of other mounts.
I'd rather new ones.

I'd like the option to just reskin/paint certain mounts.
And no more blasted horses. Please.

But I think we need more horses.
