BlizzCon 2010 pets for DirecTV subscribers arrive

by Michael Gray Nov 10th 2010 at 10:10AM

If you subscribed to the DirecTV feed for BlizzCon 2010, then you should run and check your email. We've had multiple confirmed sources report the redemption code to receive Deathy has been sent to viewers.

Once you redeem the code, the pet will appear in your characters' in-game mailboxes. Go check it out and show off your murloc pride with this half-dragon, half-adorable pet! With Cataclysm right around the corner, now's the time to let Deathy see the world as it is before it gets torn asunder by his inspiration: Deathwing. Don't worry about him acting strangely -- the little guy is already out of rehab.

The email will come from blizzcon@rayv.com, which is the DirecTV publisher for the event.

BlizzCon 2010 is over! WoW Insider has all the latest news and information. You'll find our liveblogs of the WoW panels, interviews with WoW celebrities and attendees and of course, lots of pictures of people in costumes. It's all here at WoW Insider!

Yup, Grunty click sounds and the only idle animation seems to be that murloc-ish looking around.

yep, same with mine.

the idle animation is the murloc-looking-around thing. and occasionally i'll hear the machine gun sound.

so it looks like the correct animations and sounds haven't been fully implemented yet.

sure is cute, tho. :)

If you took the time to read the link about Murloc: The Chin's rehab, you'll have noticed that it's fixed in 4.0.3 which isn't live, yet.

So, yes, he still sounds like Grunty /now/, but is fixed in the next patch.

And I am still waiting on my pre-sale merchandise /sigh

I can confirm that I got mine in my email as well. I did not follow the link provided in the email, rather I went to battle.net and clicked the linky at the bottom labeled "Reedem Promo Codes."

If you are unsure if your code is correct and not spam. Go to through the path laid out above and copy paste the code in.

Also, the link indeed does look different from battle.net when moused over. Also, the site it should come from should be Blizzcon@rayv.com and no where else (to my knowledge, going off my email).

Hmm nothing yet for me. :(

Menz Nov 10th 2010 1:18PM

Me too. Got all excited only to find nothing, not even in the spam filter :(

Got it via email and I clicked on the link and got the awesome pet :)

BTW the URL is:

I got mine in the regular mail, not email.

I'd agree with the other posts if you get an email to mouse-over the link to see where it will really go before clicking.

Had mine via email, it was legit, but as other people have said I went to battle.net myself and put in the code that way rather than follow the link. Deathy is still doing a marvellous impression of Grunty, but apart from that he's cute as a button. It's just a pity I can't have him and Grunty out at the same time.
