Not too long ago a blue posted this
The vanilla flavour lands were never designed with free flight in mind. That, coupled with the introduction of character flight at higher levels gave us a chance to stagger when and how players see content. With changes to mounts and their systems in the past, and those coming our way in the not too distant future with 3.2, this may be addressed further down the line.
It’s been discussed at great length of course. I mean, who would not talk about this? There are so many plans for changes and updates to the experiences we all have within the world and so many ideas we would simply love to put in place. Ideas like this keep us going, driving us to continue to make cool improvements.
Now, I didn’t really take much notice of it. But today I stumbled onto it again on incgamers. Below the post was a comment telling people to look up the poster “Nalgon” on the wow-us discussion boards. Doing so, will get you 1 post dated 21st of June 2009, this is what it states:
No point in debating, heres the REAL scoop kids…
Cataclysm is the next Wow X-Pack
New level cap is 85.
Horde = Goblin
Alliance = Worgen
Azeroth zones completed & flying mounts enabled.
Zone changes & phasing in Azeroth – Desolace with trees, Barrens with volcanic eruptions!
Cross realm adventuring, think BGs but for PVE & the possiblilty to start new characters at level 50.
Enjoy!
Holy crap (I love that phrase), flying mounts in Azeroth! Brilliant, we finally get to see stuff like Ironforge Airstrip, the Dancing troll village and mount Hyjal legally and without the trouble of wallwalking or glitching. I hope they will implement some extra quests in the old world that make use of the new flying ability, and Blizzard being Blizzard I bet they will implement some nice daily quests for that, huzzah!
So, what will be the first thing you do with your flying mount in Azeroth?
