In a move that really shouldn’t surprise anyone at all, the Alliance chopper from the Azeroth Choppers web series will be available in-game as well at an undisclosed point in the future, according to a new blog post on the official site.

Strictly speaking, ever since we saw that in-game models of both bikes were being constructed before the series was even completed, it was a foregone conclusion that both bikes would definitely end up being available at some point. Winning the contest was much more an expression of faction pride than it was about who’d be getting the mount. And the difference we’re seeing here (Horde characters will get the bike for free as long as they log in before Sept. 30th, Alliance characters will be able to buy it for gold) is a perfectly logical way to award the winning faction.

Read the full post below.

Due to popular demand (and a few shady back-alley deals in Stormwind’s Old Town), the Alliance bike built for Azeroth Choppers will be rumbling its way to a vendor in Azeroth sometime after the launch of Warlords of Draenor. This mount will cost a pretty hefty sum of gold, however, so you might want to start saving up now if you want to ride around in style on this masterful machine. As a reminder, once the winning Horde Chopperis added to the game, it will be available for free to players who log in between now and September 30, 2014.

Remember, only characters of the associated faction will be able to ride each bike, so buyer beware!
