Blizzard is giving away the Blazing Hippogryph as a free Twitch drop soon

According to the content roadmap for World of Warcraft, Embers of Neltharion is the first of the two major updates that are planned for this year.

The Blazing Hippgropyh and Ethereal Portal currently cost $2,000 and $300, respectively, on eBay. The steep price is the direct result of the exclusivity of the said in-game items. Both were available only as part of the now-non-existence World of Warcraft Trading Card Game that went belly up in 2013.

World of Warcraft has consistently been one of Blizzard's most popular draws for the better part of the past two decades. However, this doesn't mean that the studio has forgotten its "older" entries. Earlier this year, Blizzard hinted that

it might re-release Warcraft III: Reforged

after botching the initial launch in 2020.
