3.3 horse mount

[Brian_]

The odds of it being a new recruit a friend or veteran reward seem kind of slim.

I hardly think there is a slim chance this will be a RAF mount. I think there is a really, really high chance it will be a RAF mount.

First, there are 3 double seater mounts in existence.

2 are from RAF and 1 is from marriage. All of these are "shared" methods that involve 2 players. It simply makes much more sense for this to be from some type of shared experience rather than something like PvP or diadem.

Currently, there are time based RAF rewards for 30, 90, 150, 210, and 270 days.

The RAF campaign was started on June 19th, 2015. Excluding the 30 day trial period, that means that by the time 3.3 is released, we will be around 330 days into the campaign.

In other words, it makes perfect sense for them to add some reward for 330 days now that the campaign has reached that point. They do the same exact thing for veteran rewards. Even if it's merely purchased through the use of golden feathers, it still makes sense because then SE can just award more feathers at 330 days to give long-time RAF recruiters the feathers to purchase the mount.

So yea, if I were to guess, there is just too much coincidence involved to not guess it's an RAF mount.
