Pre-order cosmetics compared to launch

zikah

I love bunnies. I didn't keep much of any eye on this game a few years ago (or even much in recent time). Turns out one of the pre-order packs during March-April of 2021 had a bunny mount in it. So I have a petty but simple question: Does this mean there won't be a bunny mount in game or as a cosmetic purchase after launch? Or is the pre-order one simply a special skin version of a bunny mount that can be gotten?

I know little to nothing of how mounts work in the game, maybe you can simply tame creatures in the world, and these bunnies exist somewhere to be tamed. Honestly would be pretty pissed if, because I missed a two month period years ago, I can never acquire one. Not exactly asking for some mythical mount, I've already had to enduring WoW never adding one for decades until a single addition through a 6 month promotion despite the thousands of other mounts in the game; please don't let this happen here. lol

We're already seen both bear, cat and wolves as mounts ingame despite all 3 of them having been available in cosmetic packs.

I think you can relax, bunny mounts will probably become available - just perhaps not in the coloration/decoration featured in the pack.

Thanks for the reply, and I hope that's the case. Definitely not picky about decoration, though having a choice is nice of course, I really just want to have a bunny mount if the rigging and animation is already made.

I just know there are so, so many pre-order cosmetics at this point, there's no way all the beasts made for pre-orders are in the world as different variants you can acquire, and bunnies seem to be that kind of creature that is plenty common as a small non-combatant pet, but seldom big enough as a mount just hopping around, often left to special cosmetic things like that pre-order, and not something actually in the world.

To be fair, I'm perfectly willing to buy one of some kind as well, have plenty of the store currency from a different pre-order I had done at some point, but again, so many cosmetics at this point it feels a little hopeless. lol
