Q u o t e:
So then I guess flying mounts are going to be disallowed in North Rend completely. I mean since immersion is so important.
It would be pretty dumb to allow them to work at all in North Rend since it is on the same planet and all as the old lands.
First of all, Northrend will be part of the "old world", but technically speaking, it will not -- just as Burning Crusade content isn't. Also, we've been building Northrend from the ground up, with flying mounts in mind, much like we did with Outland.
Keep in mind everyone, it's not simply a matter of where we should be best spending our development and production time - though that's certainly a factor. There are plenty of other matters to consider as well.
We're also not saying it will never happen, but no plans anytime soon.
