With the recent launch date announcement, however,World of Warcraftwarned players the special promotion would be going away withDragonflight’srelease on November 28. Players interested in earning the mount simply need to log in and make a Death Knight inWrath of the Lich King Classic. Once players complete the “Warchief’s Blessing” or “Where Kings Walk” quests, the Frostbrood Proto-Wyrm will be added to their retailWorld of Warcraftmount collection.
The undead proto-dragon mount itself is aperfect addition to anyWorld of Warcraftmount collection–especially for Forsaken characters or Frost Death Knights–and is the perfect fusion of elements betweenWrath of the Lich King ClassicandDragonflight. The Frostbrood Proto-Wyrm is unfortunately not a Dragonriding mount right now, though it could become one later. Though the mount could become available again in future promotions or in the cash shop, players should unlock it now while they have the chance, rather than risk losing out forever.
Players were surprised and delighted by the Frostbrood Proto-Wyrm mount. The mount’s textures and animations are of exceptional quality, and getting it only takes an hour or two. The Death Knight starting experience is one of the most memorable starting zones inWorld of Warcrafthistory, and sets the stage for other such experiences like Exile’s Reach and thedracthyr Evoker’s Forbidden Reach inDragonflight, so few players complained about having to do it one more time.
That said, many players are upset that the mount is a limited-time offer. These exclusive offers manipulate players with the fear of missing out–colloquially called FOMO–and have been used byWorld of Warcraftfrequently in the past, much to the disdain of its player base. It would take nothing to allow this mount to become a permanent addition toWorld of Warcraft, or at least let it last untilWrath of the Lich King Classic’srun is over. Whileplayer outcry may convinceWorld of Warcraftto extend the promotion beyondDragonflight’slaunch, fans who want a Frostbrood Proto-Wyrm of their own should make sure to get it now just in case.
