Traveling within Outland
Outland, once known as Draenor, is a zone known by many World of
Warcraft fans. Throughout the various RTS games Outland has
served as a launching point for the Orc invasions along with
several other major plots. Its a broken world, parts of land
float majestically through the sky while the various races hang
on to their once beautiful land.
Now the time has come for the people of Azeroth to head to this
world, through the Dark Portals, and face many of their enemies.
The Burning Legion maintains a strong prescense in Outland along
with various tribes of Orcs, Draenei, mysterious creatures, and
the remainder of Illidans forces.
Flying Mounts
Flying mounts are the new form of transportation that comes with
The Burning Crusade. They are native only to Outland (meaning
they will not work in Azeroth) and they will allow players to
travel the skies (and even the void) to various areas and
instances that have no path connected to the ground.
We dont know everything about flying mounts, but what we do know
sounds like a ton of fun! Flying mounts have two modes: flying
and running. They can travel the ground starting at epic mount
speed. With enough forward momentum (or by jumping off a cliff)
the mount will spread its wings and take to the air. From there
you will control your mount like you control your character
while swimming.
You can return to the ground by simply swooping come like youre
landing an airplane. There is also the option to dismount,
although that would be unwise too high up in the air. You will
be able to reach any location within Outland while flying around
on your flying mount.
It will most then likely be quiet difficult to obtain a flying
mount. Youll need to be level seventy and assumedly go on a
lengthy quest to obtain one. The flying mounts will not be super
rare though, as they are needed for a lot of the level seventy
content. Think of it like a key to one of the current instances.
Rare flying mounts will also be available. You can assume that
they will be like the ZG special mounts, dropping probably once
on a server each month. One confirmed rare mount is the Nether
Drake. Nether Drakes are an extremely cool version of the flying
mount, having their own special glow to them.
