I would agree with the general consensus that Shattrath City is a terrible and dead feeling city. There are tons of NPCs constantly preparing for war and yet, they never leave to go fight. Anyway here’s the scoop on flight in Dalaran.
For the time being, it is intended that you cannot fly within the city of Dalaran. We want you to be able to fly into Dalaran and fly out of Dalaran (via mounting at the flying landing or in the sewer pipe) but we don’t want people flying around the city streets. We do want people to be able to mount on their ground mounts in the city (but not indoors).
This isn’t entirely set up properly yet and not all things are working. Most of this will be implemented over the coming weeks. If it’s horrible, we’ll change it. But that’s what we’re trying out right now.
A big complaint of Shattrath was that it did not feel like a city. A goal of Dalaran was to re-capture the bustling street feel of places like Stormwind and Orgrimmar. Flying mounts work contrary to this goal. (src)
On a slightly unrelated note, there was a question about whether or not Netherdrakes will still work in Wrath of the Lich King. Kind of the way they are removing the chance to get the Bear mount from Zul’Aman.
We don’t have any current plans to remove the ability to get the Netherdrakes in Outland, we’ll let you know if anything changes. (src)
