However, NPC's can fly.

That's ok with me as I'll be rolling around in my hover tank lobbing grenades at everyone and shooting across the earth from trees with my ranger pew pew.

Thats why there won't be any flying mounts. You could bypass the entire world that way. Much safer in the sky, so everyone would grind to get a flying mount and then use them exclusively.

They have all the code needed for flying mounts, but they're using them for NPC dragons instead and stuff.

It's not a matter of bypassing world(yes flying is safe but there's ways of hitting flyers)....it's guild cities if you played shadowbane. There were flying races like Aracoix or Nephilim who could get inside the city even a few spells as well. A common tactic was wall camping were by a first strike group would come in and run around the top of the walls and or stay afloat near the walls and camp the place so no one can fight back. It made defenses pretty useless and walls were just built to keep non-flyers out from running in and killing guild members.

I sort of included that as bypassing the world. I guess I forgot to mention the whole just flying into cities thing. Even if there was anti air (getting more and more away from fantasy here!) It wouldn't be enough and the entire siege system would have to be reworked.

Until they fixed that with no fly spires you could put up. But anyways..yes no flying mounts and for that Im glad.

There are no flying mounts because it would make sieges lame

WoW wasn't the first game to have flying mounts. Why won't people start to understand WoW never had an original idea in its entire conception :(

I dont whant Fly mount, but i whant something similar to the zergs from starcraft.

Everytime they take a new resource base, they build a new (nydus canal) So they could call all units to get in this base from the main base.That way, they have no probleme to counter big assault from enemies

There is no reasons to have flying mounts in this game. What's the point of having a huge world if you're going to avoid it as often as you can.

You allready have the ships to travel quicker.
