man – just tried looking on Beta – only mounts are toon-specific now – and my pre-made monk lost all his mounts – granted, the game is crashing all the damn time – so may be worth waiting for a build or two…

Very happy about this. I was silently (or maybe not so silently) hopeful it would happen. They suggested they wanted to do it, but didn’t think it’d make it for launch. Which largely made me sad because my paladin (my old main) has the tundra mammoth – having somewhere to sell while levelling up to 90 – awesomeness! It also means I can go ahead and make my Mekgineer’s Chopper!

What seems to be interesting is the 100 mounts/100 pet achievements have disappeared on beta so it’s giving me some motivation to get to those achievements before MoP (hello Nagrand… yes I do want 9 mounts from you).

The profession based mounts have a profession level requirement – so even if they go account wide you won’t be able to use them on your other toons until you have the required profession – that is already the case (as I see regularly when guppet tries to mount me up on a flying carpet without tailoring any more).

I am drooling in anticipation. Now my main can ride the stone drake my hunter got by pure luck as a level 84 and my hunter can ride the nether rays I spent ages farming rep for!

That would be awesome if all of my guys could get the bring a friend Zevra mount. My druid also is my main mount guy, but I rarely use any of the flight ones because of flight form.

This means I can finally delete that extra Brewfest Ram my alt has in her bank that I kept in the sad hope I could mail to my main toon (and she can ride his Kodo in exchange).

Think about the holiday mount farming. You actually wouldn’t mind getting a mount on an alt if this stays live. Now the horseman’s mount can disappoint me even more!

I have not looked it up, but I believe I saw a comment that the exceptions when it went live were going to be profession-exclusive mounts and class-specific mounts. And also very possibly the daily quest Dinosaur/Wintersaber.

You will never have your green fire, warlock. The paladins will deny you at every turn! Despair in your poverty! DESPAIR!

My lock, however, would love green fire. But my paladin is my main, and he has total control over the others. No green fire for the lock…

In the beta, yes, you are able to choose swift or normal flight form. But normal flight form doesn’t get the speed boost to swift. Don’t believe me? You can check your current speed in the default character panel.
Makes me a sad Druid. I prefer normal form over swift…
