The Burning Crusade
Patch 2.4.3 | Posted: August 8, 2008

Blizzard introduced an event called The Spirit of Competition to commemorate the 2008 Olympic Games. Unlike the Spirit of Competition, this pet requires a special code to obtain. The code was redeemable at Gilbarta Grandhammer in Ironforge (alliance) or Muja in Orgrimmar (horde).

Throughout each day of the 2008 event in China, the code was mailed to 500 random players. Only players who had achieved various in-game milestones during the event were eligible for a chance to receive the code. Some milestones included having an Arena rating of 1650+, increasing reputation for certain Outland factions from less than revered to exalted, or raising a crafting profession from 350 or less to 375.

While I understand having items unavailable to make them *worth more* status wise. At this point and time all of the foreign server pets, no longer available pets, be obtainable by every doing some PITA questline like the opening of AQ I mean we'd have to work for it ..so not everyone would ..but wed still have access to the pets.  I don't mean making boe - like a questline that takes u 6 months to finish - some insane parts you have to do as a group...all-around frustrating, and the pet would be bop.

I agree. These little dragon's are awesome, I hope for the next Olympics they consider letting this one loose on the US servers. I like it so much better than the Spirit of Competition.
