only the mount you get from acheivements are suposed to be boa atleast acording to a blue post nothing more

Nah. All the mounts on the beta atleast are account wide.

[IdTheDemon]

On live it's probably going to be every mount except for:

Class restrictions (Dreadsteeds, Paladin mounts, possibly the Argent Crusade Paladin Mount)

Faction restrictions

Profession restrictions


Now that being said, I'm curious if these mounts will still show up in our list (Atleast the class/profession ones since the faction ones have swaps with the other faction) and will count as part of our total mounts. Pretty safe to say there will be a 200 mount achievement and getting every mount counts!

[WaitingforMoP]

AWESOME! That Tol Barad Daily Dragon mount I earned from months of busting my ass doing monotonous dailies will finally be ridden by ALL of my characters!

Yeah! I earned that shit good to know I'll be able to fly on it on all my chars

What happens if you delete the original owner of the mount? Does it -the mount ofc- stays with your other characters? (Same goes for achievements and pets)
I have an alt that I really want to erase but it has a world event mount which is basically what keeps him alive.

[ace1231337]

So wait...

My paladin on alliance has like 110 mounts. My DK on horde has around 110 as well. However, my paladin has got like ~10 mounts that my DK doesn't have an vice versa. For example, my DK has Green Proto Drake but my pally doesn't. My pally has Swift White Hawkstrider, but my DK doesn't.

When MOP hits, will my Horde DK get the White chocobo and will my alliance pally get the Green proto? Or does it only give it per faction?

Don't know; curious about this as well as I want to add the DK mounts to my cheev count (even though no other characters could use them) but I don't want to waste a character slot on a DK.

[Archimand]

a report from the beta the mounts appear to be account wide and not server wide

i just made a premade on lost isles us while my main is on the eu server and had all my mounts on it

hope it goes live like that

I doubt it. The character's data gets erased after a while. It'd be nice if it somehow could see what mounts you had on deleted characters; my first character ever had a Brewfest ram back when you could buy them with tickets, and he's long since deleted. :(

If they're not faction-specific, then yes, your characters on both factions will receive them. I tested with opposite-faction characters in beta and they got each other's mounts.

Well, my characters are going to like this mount from the achi then

[CrazyEyez315]

I would actually like them available on alts, but still need some effort. If you have the glory achievement on the account, the characters should not gain access simply because you have that, but rather the character has to at least have killed each boss in the raid/s at least once, before gaining access. This would apply to mounts that drop. You have the FoS for the mount, but the character itself would still need the kill achievement to use it.

That's probably more effort than Blizzard is willing to put into this feature.

The point of Account-wide Mounts is that it represents what you as a player have accomplished, not what your character has accomplished.

[Politicus]

I'm loving this feature, now i can have my favorite ground mount on all my characters (Swift Zulian Tiger as shown off by my Boomkin)



And my favorite flying mount, the Big Love Rocket on all of my characters (Show off by my Boomkin yet again, not the best angle, but meh)



Hopefully those images are within right size dimensions, if needed i'll resize them or somehow thumbnail them.

Is raven lord shared?!

Raven Lord is no different than the other shared ones....... Cmon now

[markdall]

It's buggy but looks REALLY promising - I had to create a new character to see it, but my new character had my Traveller's Tundra Mammoth, my X-53 rocket, etc. The TTM was my main concern.

[Narcissist]

Looks very promising. Finally the rare mounts from my alts on my main.

[ironik]

No.

This is a BoA mount. You can buy it and send to other characters on your server. Screaming "Mounts are BOA!" is incorrect when in fact mounts are faction+server wide. Please don't spread this ignorant phrase and use wrong terms - You are not saying that achievements are BoA (and if you are then are *something that would get me infracted*) so don't say mounts are.

Yes they are. With the exception of faction-specific mounts, it appears that they will essentially behave in the manner of the Blizzard Store mounts, where, when you buy one, EVERY toon you have or create from then on(horde OR alliance) will have that mount. Direct your misguided anger elswhere.

Actually, I just got a priest and a warrior restored that I had deleted back in TBC, I just put in a ticket saying I logged and suddenly these chars weren't there any more, last morning at work received an email saying the ticket had been answered, and when I logged both chars were there. You should try it, I can't guarantee but I'm pretty sure characters don't get deleted, they just remain hidden, kinda of like deleting your Facebook data.

Here's a head-scratcher: I've only got one 85, and that character doesn't have anywhere near 50 mounts - the number is closer to 25 although I am not quite there yet. I have maybe around 15 (or something - I haven't counted lately because I don't play them all) alts across three servers, and most of those never even made it to 20. Of the rest, I have:

72 pally: 2 eleks, a right elf mount, and her flying gryphon.
53 mage: just her two raptors.
56 warlock: her two dreadsteeds and one level 40 mechanostrider

And then ... erp. I just remembered. Tyrael's Charger. Every single one of my characters has that. That could well put me over 50.

I bring this up because when I logged into beta this morning (it's horribly laggy and crashy, by the way), I had an email from Mei Francis giving me an albino drake.

Gosh, when this change goes live, if the requirements for that stay the same, it looks like the albino drake will be as common as the bronze drake was in Wrath. Or even more common.
