Want to fly around WoW's Northend? Not yet, says Blizzard |
Ó
After Blizzard officially announced World of Warcraft's next expansion Wrath of the Lich King, players began speculating as to what new content will be available to them, particularly the possibility of having flying mounts in Northend. This is understandable, given all the advantages that come with it, not to mention the fact that mounts make characters look cooler.
During BlizzCon 2007, Blizzard confirmed that flying mounts will be available to players who are at level 75 at least. The developers reasoned that they wanted players to explore the new area first on foot to be familiar with it better instead of roaming around, totally missing its splendor and secrets.
The same was echoed by Blizzard's Vaneras when the question popped up at the official WoW Forums. The forum moderator explained,
The reason for the potential delay in free-roaming is to allow the development team a chance to design and create exciting and interesting content which people will not simply fly over and ignore. There is a lot of work being put into quest lines, locations, event,s and more for the expansion.
Wrath of the Lich King focuses on the story of Arthas and his quest to end all life in Azeroth. A release date has yet to be confirmed by Blizzard but a pre-order listing recently appeared over at retail chain GameStop saying that the expansion will be available in November.

According to the image posted with your GameStop article, WotLC is shipping 11/3/08, next year.
If I recall properly (which I sometimes do) that should be a day before we decide who gets to clean up W's mess. Elections are on the first Tuesday of November, right?
I'm not sure which I'm looking more forward to...
What tha ***** man?!?
Why can't we just be able to fly EVERYWHERE?
Plus it's retarded to announce the expansion now if it's coming out in (almost) 2009. Nobody is gonna wanna play now, just seems pointless to hunt new gear now.
Damn *****os!
the real world cannot compete with WoW.
