The twenty five dollar mount appears to be catching on far more than anyone would have anticipated…or hoped. With World of Warcraft’s Edward Cullen-esque horse, followed by Everquest II’s prowlers of the night, and now Everquest’s armored horses, one must assume that there are enough people out there, somewhere who are buying into singular items that cost more than the client itself (in the case of the Everquest titles). I hear people complain that the communities do not want these expensive mounts, but numbers don’t lie, and neither does money. When these functions stop being profitable is when they will cease to be.
