So you can have the class mounts on a normal class? Man totally using the lock mount for my rogue then
I thought I did, but apparently I don't

If you die you die but if you don't die you still die.
I don't Know why but this feature annoys me.
I appear to be way in the minority though
I wonder, if someone has more than 1 WoW account on same battle.net account, will mounts be shared between those accounts? So does "account bound" means bound to battle.net account (main account, can have multiple wow accounts) or to wow account?
I can confirm also that they are NOT account wide
Spectral or big blizzard bear on alts. <3
yay account wide mounts...thank god! All the time spent on my druid getting mounts/achieves wont have gone to waste...free to choose w/e toon I want now without feeling guilty of all the wasted time on my old main. <3
Currently, cross faction mounts are not in and likely will remain that way. Rather a disappointment since I find faction restrictions on things like mounts to be silly and archaic, but whatever. If Pandarens can be on both sides, why not mounts? Silhouette is no longer necessary since a lot of people just follow the rule: if it's red, it's dead. But I guess if they let us have cross faction mounts, then the mount achievement would be really trivialized. Just more reason to add more tiers to the achievement.
I logged into my draenei shaman who has 103 mounts on live. She had 103 mounts in beta, too. I then logged into my blood elf paladin who had suddenly had 88 mounts. She has around 50 on live. I know my paladin got the swift zhevra added to her collection along with the blue drake and mammoths from Dalaran as well as the Cata camels (among other mounts I forgot), none of which she has on live. I also bounced over to my night elf druid who had over 50 mounts (forgot the amount) on live. Didn't really look to see how many she had in beta. I logged back into my shaman to find 0 mounts. I relogged and she had 108. I had 3 carpets, the level 20 Brewfest Ram (only available the first year of Brewfest), and the fossilized raptor added to her collection. The ram and raptor I only have on my paladin on live. The carpets I only have on my druid on live. My shaman could not access my paladin's charger. So seems you will get mounts from the opposite faction as long as they had no faction restriction.
As it stands, the mounts are incredibly buggy. Logging in to level your main toon after logging into a few other toons only to find the toon you're on has 0 mounts is a bit irritating, but meh. Joys of beta. But it does appear it'll be in for release or at least very shortly after. Best change ever and LONG overdue. Love to see how this will interact with battle.net in the long run.
Seems a bit premature to be reporting this as the final implementation. Especially given how bugged it is at the moment. Mounts are disappearing left and right when switching characters right now.
I can finally reroll from my Vanilla paladin to my rogue, and keep my Spectral Tiger, Invincible, Battlemaster title and my 14k achievement points, am I dreaming?
As for restrictions, these will come later, remember at the moment pets are lacking restrictions as well. You can summon the Orc Argent Squire on an Alliance character, and the Human one on a Horde character. I'm quite sure eventually they will add restrictions, they will be just like they work on live, you can see a mount on the list, but when you try to summon it, you'll be greeted by an error saying you can't do it without a specific profession or class.
I can confirm that my horde paladin can ride my alliance DK's blazing drake cross-realm. Mechano-hog also works.
So, it's called account wide but is it really account wide? Or server wide? Or faction wide? Will my horde alt get my ally main mounts? If I transfer an alt that has got all the mounts from my main to another server, it'll just keep them all even if I transfer to a second bnet acc? Sounds sweet, I hate farming twice for the same thing
Not all mounts are account wide. I don't see my Iron Bound proto drake or red proto draked on my alt.
Ugh. What's next, account-wide gear? "Hey, I took the time to farm these T14 shoulders on this character, I should be able to use the T14 on all of my characters. I'm not going to re-farm on my no. 6,7, and 8 alts!"
And don't you dare complain that it is a cosmetic change and doesn't affect gameplay. Everything in this game is cosmetic. Have we really moved into a realm where all of our characters are considered the same character? That's a bit sad.
I love the fact that once I hit level 60 on an alt, i can fly around on a corrupted fire hawk lol.
Love having the option of using a DK deathcharger (assuming blizz doesnt reverse this for class specific mounts) and my repair mount as well.
That's cool, now make them tradable... =P
I want a friggin Black Proto-drake still. =(
