I’ve already gone into a lot of details about the specifics about how Northrend is going to be worked out and as well how mounts will be unlocked at Lv. 77 and other general game changes in the way things work. This here though caught me by surprise and got me all excited about the game again. Blizzard is really starting to throw some very cool ideas out there.

• Northrend is Huge. It is larger than Outland by a couple of zones, and some of the zones in Northrend are bigger than the largest zone in Outland. (src)
• The mounts available to buy in Wrath will probably be able to take passengers. These mounts will also work in the old world (Provided they are land mounts), so players can give low-level characters a ride! The new mounts will also be slightly faster, around the speed of the Armored Netherdrakes. (src)
• We’re not sure if that will be available from the start but one of the ideas is to give the players new mounts they can buy and allow these new mounts to be available for passengers. (src)
• Trainers and Auction houses will remain in the “Old World” (src)
• Dalaran wil be in Nothern/Central Northrend, near the final zones (src)
• The Ashbringer lore will feature heavily in Wrath (src)

So what do you think? Good idea or bad idea on mounts being naturally faster as well as granting the ability to have passengers. This opens up a lot of new tech for PVP applications that I’ll cover in a minute.
