WoW: Blizzard packs exclusive annual pass mount from 2011 in the shop

With the World of Warcraft’s first annual pass the Blizzard managers had put down a real highlight at the time. After Vanilla, Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, many long-time WoW fans could not imagine canceling their subscription in the foreseeable future. For the twelve months that you would complete anyway, also get the cool Mount Tyraels Charger, beta access for the next WoW expansion and Diablo 3 for free? Blizzard, you fools!

What players didn’t realize at the time was that the content replenishment for the Cataclysm expansion was…in need of improvement, and not all of the new content was well received by the community. In retrospect, those responsible for Blizzard also benefited from the annual pass, as they were able to improve their statistics thanks to the long-term subscriptions.
