I've heard a nasty rumour that at some point while leveling to 80 our (gulp - I can't even type it)....

Epic Flight Form will not be allowed?!?

/sob

The Horror!

Im pretty sure it's not allowed until level 76 or 77. at that point you can "defrost your wings" or something.

No flying mounts until higher levels.

Its true. Blizzard doesn't want us "skipping content" by flying over it. Not sure about everyone else, but a 100% landmount is just stupid slow after having epic flight form for so long. Might as well walk.:biggrin:

So, I hope they give us some way to get a faster landmount at 70-71.

i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like blizz has taken away our favorite toy :(

here's another link that suggests we'll get it back at level 77, along with some other rumors: flying mounts that carry more than one passenger? i wonder how that's gonna work...

flying mounts that carry more than one passenger? i wonder how that's gonna work...More importantly, who are we going to carry? If everyone has a flying mount, why do I need one that can handle passengers? Are we all going to have our own NPC follow us around?

Maybe we'll be able to carry lowbies around... can you imagine the spam when you get your mount?

total stranger: "hey mate! can i hitch a ride to XYZ?"
me: im not going there, in fact im going in the complete opposite direction
total stranger: can you take me by there anyway? it'll only take 5 minutes for you, but it'll take 10 minutes for me alone

/wrists

More importantly, who are we going to carry?


Well, I do have a rather large purse. :grin:

i just thought of a fun, EVIL little joke to play if we can carry lowbies around, and some stranger asks for a ride...

"sure! hop on board!"

get up to a nice, lethal altitude, dismiss your mount, pop flight form, and fly merrily off while your leach plummets to his death...

is that wrong of me?

I belive that this is in regards to the PvP area of Winterspring. Think of a combat airplane IRL. You might ahve a pilot to control the plane and another person to deal with the guns/bombs.

I think that the multi-person mounts are for this. one person flys the mount and the other person can cast spells or whatever.
