World of Warcraft fans won’t be left behind as the Year of Dog introduces a brand new mount to the stable – the loyal Shu-Zen (USD$25), the Divine Sentinel!
Believed by some to be a sign of good fortune and others to be a gift from the Light, Shu-Zen provides faithful companionship to any that would defend Azeroth from the maddening whispers of the Old Gods.
Also join in the fun by dressing up in your Lunar Festival finery, launching fireworks, and paying homage to the Elders throughout Azeroth from Feb.17.
Players can use the Coins of Ancestry from Elders throughout Azeroth to purchase a variety of holiday items. The Dragon Head Costume, Dragon Body Costume, and Dragon Tail Costume are also available this year for players to create a dragon chain for celebration!
Justsaying:
Hearthstone seems to be really taking the world by storm, I kinda regret taking a break after Un’goro or I might actually try out for the championship (though I know I wouldn’t get very far).
