I didn't get the 5 yr anniversary horse, so can't be quite certain, but isn't this just the horse and anniversary set dyed red/crimson?

they certainly look similar, but what interests me more is the horse account-wide offer, for 1000 TP more.
I am wondering if this will be applied to the future class steed offers too.
I missed the "acount-wide" option on first glance, yes, this is intriguing, would be nice if it were an option that will be made available in the future to class steeds and other store-only mounts.Quote:

This mount & cosmetics look very similar to the anniversary stuff & quite frankly I dont think this should have been done. People who have been members to this game for 5 years should get something that no others can have. They could have done a set that was not similar looking.
However I will say that account wide mount offer is something I like seeing very much & hope this is a change coming to all mounts in the store.
well, the 5-year'ers have it in blue..:)
similar thing as with the skeleton painted steed.. first in white, then in green and red. Same horse, no additional creativity, simply a new paint job.
Makes one wish even more horses would be treated like cosmetics, with dyable blanket, changable skin etc (-> suggestions forum is full of good ideas)
Anyone else having a problem trying on the cosmetics? When I click to try one of the cosmetics on, I get you cannot equip that item.
Yeah, it's definitely closely based on the Anniversary horse and outfit, mostly different color and shading.
They could remove the silly flag and make it more appealing. I have the Anniversary horse and I'd pay TP to lose the flag. :p
The Steed of Account-wide-ness! Glad they're doing it (and even with matching account-wide outfits) but I'll wait for another horse.
Thanks but I am looking to see what they would look like dyed rose. ;)Quote:

Price - $20.00 was too high for a single skin for a single toon. $30.00 is still just a skin, but it goes to the whole account. While nice or "better" than before, its also still more expensive than before, which was far too expensive for a skin IMHO.
One step forward, two steps back IMHO. $20.00 can buy a decent expansion pack for most games, its just far too much for a skin on a mount.
meh, just a boring blonde sorrell with a pretty rug on. They could've made more of an effort.
Do these outfits dye? I missed the 4th year box by 5 days. Horse is too ugly for me, so I would not want that anyway, but would love to get the outfits for all my chars without waiting till next year. Well worth a bit under 1000 TP.
And will all future characters get the outfits put in their inventory when made?
I would rather pay more for getting the account wide then having to pay even more for getting one on each toon. At the moment we dont even know if this will be done to all mounts in the store. This could be just a one time type of deal.Quote:

As for the cost of horses, enough people do buy them at that price that Turbine have not reduced it.

As has been mentioned, they're basically the same, but not identical. And the 5-years got theirs account-wide for free, not for $35 and change.
Frankly I prefer the Festive Azure, because it's just a little less gaudy. The difference is a couple extra bands of gilding, some curly vines and tassels, but honestly the Reveler's is just a bit too busy with them. The Azure is more elegant.
I'd do a straight comparison with the same model, but apparently the preview doesn't work - "Try it on" gives me a "you cannot equip that" error.
