<p>Not seeing them on the marketplace at present.</p><p>And Nathan Ironforge?!</p><p>The picture on the eq2players site is misleading, as you cannot summon all three prowler kittens at the same time.</p>

[Writer Cal]

<p>I can see the other stuff, but not the petamorph wand.</p>

[CorpseGoddess]

<p>I just get an "An Error Occured" page.  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/c30b4198e0907b23b8246bdd52aa1c3c.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>The thing is ...  .. they used to be children (using child models)   not sure why it was changed but I suspect it was something to do with a possible Pavlov effect on players making them hate all children <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Is the 135% run speed on the mount a typo or error? Or did we just get a faster ground mount from Station Cash than what we can aquire in the game? I'm hoping that's not the case...</p>

[Shaolin Sam]

<p>All the station cash mounts (running on the ground style land based) are 135% speed. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.</p>

[Nevao]

<p>I haven't bought a ground mount, and it's been a while since a new one was published for me to see. Joy for being able to get better mounts buy paying than earning.</p>

<p>I love the golden monkey, that is the color  I chose quite often for my monkeys when DoF came along hehe  Unfortunately that illusion like all the rest of the pet ones disappearing if I leave the ground for even a second while using my flying mount.  The master tank pet (the one I use the most) for necro rides a horse so must stay ugly and huge and in the way instead of using these cool pet morph wands.</p>
