In the next major content patch we will be adding a few methods of improved transportation to areas of interest while leveling.

It is time for the denizens of Azeroth to witness the full might of the Horde as they do what they do best: employ goblins to construct zeppelin towers and float players across vast seas using sky boats. That's right, a new zeppelin route is being added in Thunder Bluff and will transport players to Orgrimmar. Isn't technology magnificent?

Also, brought to you by Azeroth's greatest users of magic, are all new portals coming to Stormwind and Orgrimmar. These portals will transport players directly to the Stair of Destiny at the Dark Portal. Travel is just so much more convenient when it's instantaneous! Players will then find that a new connecting flight path exists at the Stair of Destiny allowing players new to Outland easy and direct access to the city of Shattrath.

Keep your seat backs and tray tables in a full upright and locked position, and we hope you continue to enjoy your methods of travel in Azeroth and beyond!

Oh, delusions are meant to justify the things you do.
Oh, delusions never really qualified as an excuse...

Cool!

Edit: Ok now that I actually read it *cough*first*cough* that really is neat. I've always hated going from Thunder Bluff to Org on alts for the first time. The ports to Outland (basically) are also cool additions.

In before "casuals win again".

Double Edit:

How about Exodar? There isn't even a flight path there currently. It's literally the hardest place to travel to in the game.

Not to complain but wouldn't waiting for the zepp be longer than just taking the flight path?

I do like the portal thing tho. That flight from UC to the portal is loooong.

One final edit...

The zepp becomes a 1 use thing then. Use it to get to TB or Org from Org or TB, grab the fp. Never use again. But, w/e.

It's for people who don't have the flight path yet. I.e. New Players. Yes, amazingly there are still a few. Same reason there is a boat from Darkshore to Darnassus, even though the flight path exists.

Now all you need to do is make the Flightpaths on Azuremyst Isle connect to the rest of the world, like the ones from Silvermoon City do.
