Sony Online Entertainment, in an attempt to capitalize on the madness that stirs men's souls to purchase in-game items with real-life money, recently added three colorful Everquest 2 mounts to the Station Marketplace. For $25, you can purchase one of two versions of the mount: a Fierce Prowler, which improves its rider's combat abilities, or an Arcane Prowler, which boosts spellcasting abilities. You can check out a video of the mounts over on Shacknews.
SOE representatives claim the mounts were added to the storefront due to "player demand," which, if true, means the world has gone entirely bananacakes crazytown. We're going to go buy an economy-sized pallet of water bottles, board up our doors and windows, and go hide in our mattress fort.

May be a scam to you but not to the Everquest addicts.

Aye, instead of releasing pet based on a single animal, they fused together to ugliest aspect of whatever animal that's in there and gave it a neon blue finish. Furthermore, they're charging $25 for this atrocity. Genius.

Lool, this article just made my day.
If players wanted them, they could have just added them into the game for free :U
