The Burning Crusade Flying Mounts ...

Blizzard today delivered information on one of the most sought after demands to feature in the forthcoming WoW expansion, The Burning Crusade.

Flying mounts promise to bring a whole new dimension to the broken and scattered lands of the orcs' former homeland, Draenor, or what is now known as The Outlands. With some parts of The Outlands inaccessible by foot or boat, inhabitants have had to learn and harness some of the indigenous species as flying mounts to transport them across the realm.

Providing players with the unprecedented freedom to explore the most remote and dangerous regions of The Outlands, flying mounts will be available to players that reach Level 70 in the forthcoming expansion. Both Horde and The Alliance have their own unique type of mounts, along with rare species such as the Nether Drake.

Taking to the skies to soar along the crimson clouds of the Hellfire Peninsula, players have full control over the flying mount, with certain areas of The Outland only accessible by air. Representing the most tangible accomplishment of a Level 70 player, flying mounts also serve as a key to the content that awaits players beyond the maxim limit.

Features:

With the release of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, many core aspects of the game will be improved, expanding the choices available to players and streamlining some gameplay elements. For example, new raid encounters are being designed for a maximum of 25 players, and the PvP system will change how honor works in the game. Following this general strategy of making gameplay even more rewarding and expanding the playing experience with new, interesting content, the professions of World of Warcraft are also set to receive major updates to ensure that they remain a fun and worthwhile part of your adventures in Azeroth and beyond.
When the time came to begin the professions update for the expansion, the dev team took a very close look at all the work that had gone into the profession system so far. There were some things the team felt could be improved in World of Warcraft's professions to make them more interesting, more valid, and most importantly, even more fun. The expansion will allow the dev team to upgrade the profession system, and to provide players with cool new gadgets, equipment, and consumables that will help them brave the many challenges of Outland.

On the following pages, you'll find a brief summary of what changes you can expect to see in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade for each profession. Keep in mind that there is always a chance that these plans may change, but this is what's on the drawing board at the moment.

 

As if new races, worlds, cities, dungeons, mounts, and professions weren't enough, the expansion will also enhance the game with a wide number of small innovations that will add up to a significantly improved gaming experience. From the new Looking for Group feature to the updated Character Sheet to an incredible number of new enemy models, the game millions around the world are enjoying is about to become even better.
