Biggest problem with "limited time only" sales gimmicks.

Phinix1

We are told that these items will be back in stock in the future. So, if you can't re-shuffle your finances in the 5-days a mount you want is for sale, or can't log into the game during that time due to being away from home or whatever else, you can get it in the future. Fine, whatever. Don't want to turn this into another #nerf50dollarmounts thread.

But here's the thing. It has been over a year (half the age of the game) since the Soul Shriven horse was on the store.

Are there any plans to ever bring this back and if so, can we get maybe a week or two warning to put our other expenses on hold so we don't have to wait another year+ to get it?

I don't even remember that horse...

I remember that horse. Damn, it's been a year already?

Consider yourself lucky. I wasted crowns on this horse because I liked the way it looked. Then I rode it... it makes very loud screeching noises that are so bad it is unusable. Seriously obnoxious. You make a pretty good argument, but for this particular mount it should never come back. Unless they tone down the horrible noise, then it'd be sweet.

Halloween. They also had the mindshriven skin, which I bought. As well as the scarecrow and pumpkin headed thing polymorphs.

We're at the one year anniversary of the ice horse, I believe.

Is it as horrible as the sound the echalette makes? The pet suits my female orc but the sound it makes is too cringeworthy to keep it around...wth are they thinking making it sound like that?

Give the type of people that like to cast spells and do annoying things at the bank for attention something else to attack their fellow players with?

I made an addon just to allow me to push a button and toggle muting all sound for when I go into the bank just because of this stupid trolling sound design ZOS chose for this and the monkey pet.

Hasn't bothered me since.

Not quite. The Zombie Horse was a limited mount for Witch's Festival (October)

The Mind-Shriven Horse was available on PC/Mac from August 31, 2015 to November 2, 2015. Mid-September to November 2 for console. It wasn't a limited time item. Mind-Shriven was more a complementary cosmetic theme for the Imperial City quarter.

But OP doesn't have time frame or even the name correct.
