Darkfall: New Mounts Announced

Not content to tease their fans with images from the upcoming armor and model overhaul, Aventurine is now in the business of teasing us with new mounts! Darkfall Community Liason Laenih took the official Darkfall forums today with an announcement of two new mounts: the "Tribeland Bear" for the Mahirim, and the "Blue Tail Runner."
The Tribeland Bear mount will be the first racial mount for the Mahirim, and will possess "brutal force and fighting power."
The Blue Tail Runner, on the other hand, marks the beginning of a "new generation of mounts." The key difference being that the Blue Tail Runner sacrifices hitpoints for faster running speeds. The idea going forward is to introduce a number of mounts that serve a specific role or purpose, differentiating themselves from each other by utilizing different skills or abilities.
Unfortunately, the artists were only willing to let us take a peek at the Tribeland Bear, you'll have to wait a bit longer to get a glimpse at the Blue Tail Runner.
View the original announcement here.
[Thanks cosy for the tip!]

I'm not gonna lie that's pretty cool looking.

As an Orc, I.m going to forget that Mahirim is suppose to be an Ally.

Hey fools.. Why don't you release the game, idk, maybe.. RETAIL!! or at least in some way that doesnt include a fricken lottery! before you start announcing overhauls and more content... Especially since the game is already released apparently (for some)
ummm.....dude.....the store is open 24/7 and has been for many months now. The lottery days are LOOOOOOONG gone.
There's even a $1 trial now. Go play.
Gunna wait till 50 cent trial
And as for the shop being open 24/7.. that couldnt have been months ago because it wasnt too long ago i was researching how to get this game.
On that note.. any plans for a retail version???
[Mod Edit]
the reasoning behind the $1 fee for the trial have been discussed ad nauseum on this site, and on the official forums.
And yes, it has been a LOOONG time since the store was opened full time.
I'm surprised darkfall is still going. The last thing I remember was being told that I should grind my fireball skill until i reached 100. I went out and shot fireballs at mobs for 4-5 hours, and made it to the mid 40s. I made enough gold to cover 1/8 of the reagents I burned. The next day I did about 3-4 hours and got to about 58 skill. The next day I played 4 hours and made it to 61.2 skill. I then made the best choice of my darkfall life, and cancelled the account.
This must have been a long time ago as getting spells and magic schools to 100 are some of the easiest things to do right now.
Also, Tasos should today post their plans on "the grind", so if you quit Darkfall because of the grind you might want to read it when they post it. I personally hope they will reduce it further (specificly: stat gains and selective skills that take decades to max, but spell gains and magic school gains are pretty fast already now), so that old players will come back and new players will be able to catch up in reasonable time frames.
LOL.. Darkfall has always been the craziest hardcore game i've ever seen. Player competition even starts before you got the game. It was needed to even get the game! I cancelled my account after a couple months too. At release the game was so broken with the errors that allowed people to grind skills on nothing to max them as well as everyone running around naked while fighting with their max skills and not being able to beat them in full gear. But it has always had alot of promise.
