Grunty the Murloc Marine arrives for DirecTV viewers
Memories of BlizzCon have started to fade over the last month, but today another reminder of the event pops up. If you watched it via DirectTV you should shortly be receiving an email letting you know that soon you too can have a Murloc Marine shadowing your character's every step. The email comes with a code and a URL to visit in order to redeem the little guy. Be careful of any phishing scams, the correct URL is http://www.blizzcon.com/pet. You must also have a Battle.net account in order to receive him.
Once you have entered you code and gone through the simple redemption process the next time you log on you will have an in-game mail from Master Handler Sylvester. This will contain your special delivery of a Heavy Murloc Egg and a thank you.
Grunty the Murloc Marine, we salute you. When it comes to murlocs, you are the best of the best of the best. Sir! With Honors.

Title is wrong, Grunty is currently only available for those that purchased the stream from Rayv. Those that purchased the DirecTV PPV will be receiving their codes by regular mail just like last year.

Thanks for that. Any idea how long it took last year to get the card in the mail?

I think it only took a couple months, so we should be getting them soon.

Please correct the title of this article to reflect that you only get an e-mail if you got the live stream.
Those that got the PPV on DirecTV have to wait for the redemption card to come in the mail like we did the previous year.

The e-mail was in my Outlook Junk E-mails folder... Here is a copy:
From: BlizzCon [no-reply@rayv.com]
Subject: BlizzCon 2009 item redemption
Zyzx,
Thank you for ordering the Pay Per View Internet stream coverage of BlizzCon 2009!
As a thank-you from Blizzard Entertainment, below is a World of Warcraft code for a "Grunty the Murloc Marine" pet.
To receive the pet, visit http://www.blizzcon.com/pet, and follow the instructions.
Your in-game pet code is:

And don't forget, you must have a Battle.net account to receive your pet!

Shoot. Now I really have to do the battle.net thing. I've been putting it off but I'm so excited to get this little guy. :D

Guess this means it's time to keep my zergling out to kill off all the new marines showing up.
