Which was this one:
You were able to get these mounts in (normal)WoW, but I got one when the expansion pack: The Burning Crusade was released. Why? Because you get your hands on gold much easier in the expansion pack and these babies cost a LOT of gold.
Normal mounts increase your travel speed with 60% and the epic ones increase your speed to 100%. But, the expansion pack also introduced new flying mounts. And I got one a couple of months ago. Was ecstatic as ever, but never had the time to post a pic. So here are a couple!
So this is a normal flying mount. There are epic flying mounts in the form of a dragon and a kind of flying mantaray. You know I want one! They fly 360% faster and normal flying mounts fly 60% faster than waking speed. But the gold cost is even steeper and on top of that, you have to finish a certain chain of quests and have an exalted reputation with a certain faction in the game, which translates to lots and lotsof quests and money offerings and above all loads and loads of time. But I aint in a rush, so I'll get there.....someday.
Oh by the way, this is how my level 70 looks nowadays:
Full PvP set with some maces I bought in the auction house. For the Horde!
