Question about pre-order bonus

[supermichael]

I am aware that anyone that didn't pre-order the game, there is no way to get the pre-order bonus. But I want to know how good are the pre-order bonus?

I believe the pre-order bonus is a mount, but are there mounts as good as the pre-order bonus mount?

All bonuses are cosmetic.

Nothing changes as far as game play - only visuals. Also some things are locked until certain quests are completed which means the game slowly feeds players features and any bonus items that refer to these locked 'situations' aren't available at launch for use.

You get a Thestral and a black-feathered Hippogriff, they're functionally the same as Highwind.

There's also some dark wizard gear (cosmetic only) that I personally think looks kinda silly, and the dark arts arena in the forbidden forest.

I guess that is no problem, I don't mind if the pre-order bonus are just cosmetic.

You get mounts, which I frankly have never used for even a single second, and you get some gear, which I personally have even transmogrified for even a single second. You also get access to a third arena, which I haven't yet bothered to spend any time in.

In hindsight, the price differential was actually not worth it to me.

The thread is long dead and buried, if not deleted entirely, but before launch a number of us came to the conclusion that its main purpose was to get people to pay the increased $70usd price-tag by appearing as though they actually got something extra.
