  - Yes, our Hardcore Rewards have historically been cosmetics, and that is likely to continue. The collar is a head slot cosmetic, the Sash and Cloak are cosmetic cloaks.
  - There are others who also want us to re-release prior rewards, but also a large group who very much feel that people had their chance and the items should remain special. The push and pull on it hasn’t led us to a conclusion yet. We aren’t opposed to offering past rewards again.

U49 Preview 1: Mount Stable – https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/522924-U49-Preview-1-Mount-Stable

Mount Stable
Collecting and summoning Mounts now works similarly to Cosmetic Pets.
Double clicking on a Mount item will redeem that item and place the mount in your “Mount Stable”. The Mount Stable is a new tab of the Inventory Menu that contains all of the mounts that you have redeemed on this server (regardless of which character redeemed them, like with cosmetic pets). To summon a Mount simply either double click on the desired mount from within the Mount Stable or drag it’s icon onto your hotbar and click it there.
Plans for the currently existing Mount Bag item are to be determined.
Mounts from pack/expansion purchases will continue to be delivered to each character just like we do for cosmetic pets. This ensures that if someone accidentally deletes the item before redeeming it the solution is simply to log into a new character and redeem it instead of needing to go through customer service.
