There is a rumor floating around on our trade chat that Blizzard is getting rid of the netherwing dragon mounts. Is this true? And if so when?

Thanks in advance for info.

That would be great. Then I might get off my ass and finish the trek through revered.

No and yes.

You are not losing any mounts. Instead of being items in your bag, you learn them as spells upon first use I think. They will be in a new tab labeled mounts.

Also, in WotLK, you are not allowed to use flying mounts till lvl 77 I think and only after doing a quest. So no drake till that point for northrend.

So no, you still get to fly your drake, but it won't be in your inventory anymore and can't fly it in northrend for a bit.

I do not want absolute power; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I want near absolute power; that way I am only nearly corrupted absolutely.

I think the OP was saying he/she thinks you won't be able to get a NW, not that Blizz will delete the one you have.

ONLY the ZA Bear Mount is getting removed from the loot table.

Blizzard feels it's a prestige item that they don't want to become too easy to get... although go to Stormreaver and there's dozens of the things everywhere and they are readily sold...

The Netherwing Mount is no prestige, it's just rep and it will be just as hard to get when you are over level 9000 as it is at level 70.

Well to clarify what i was saying: The rumor on our trade channel is that you will no longer be able to obtain a netherdrake mount. As is the quests and the facton are being taken out of the game so there is this mad scramble right now for everyone to get a netherdrake mount now while they still can because if you don't get the mount soon you will never be able to. Personally I think it is just a rumor but I wanted to see if anyone has any offical info statig that people will not be able to have a netherdrake mount in the future if they do not already have one. My main already has her drake and this toon is wanting a war hippogriff from the CE so it doesnt effect me directly but I would like to calm some of my guildies down about this rumor because a few are in panic mode right now because they really want the dragon mount and i would feel bad for them if they couldn't get it if they are willing to put in the effort to obtain it.

Thanks again for the info so far. and PS I am a she not a he! lol

woot

Insanity, blessing for those born to hate you
Burned by the embers of love, it is so cruel
Howling the night, for sun of the midnight
Serving the people, condemned you in the eternal night

If anything they will probably do a "Winterspring Frostsaber" mount repeat and make it 20 times easier to get.

But of course they will protect the precious hardcore raider from us pond scum getting the ZA Bear.

Netherdrakes are so obnoxious, I don't see how anyone could enjoy riding one.

Bornakk gets to work as soon as he shows up, huh?

45 seconds into the work day, I'm still waiting at the coffee maker. Hell, I really don't start doing any real work until 10:30.
