Don’t Bother Saving Your Gold for Northrend

Posted 12th Apr 2008 04:27 PM by Maticus

If you’ve already started saving stacks of gold for the next tier of riding in Northrend, you might as well go find something better to spend it on, because Bornakk has confirmed that Blizzard doesn’t plan to extend the skill any further in the next expansion.

The current highest skill is 300, which allows players to ride epic flying mounts. This skill costs 5000g, and to my knowledge is the biggest single pay-out in the game to date. Speculation began last night, about the cost of the next riding level. Bornakk was quick to stomp on the discussion though:

[blue=http://www.wowblues.com/us/what-will-require-375-450-riding-skill-5835085250.html]We don’t currently have plans to add another tier of riding skill to the game in Wrath of the Lich King.

Sorry, no flying bears planned.

Well, there will be things that cost money in Wrath of the Lich King, we have no plans to remove currencies.

Note: This has nothing to do with the purchase and/or process of allowing your flying mount to fly in Northrend.[/blue]

So it won’t be a higher skill level to fly in Northrend, but it may be a quest, an item, a rep thing, or a combination of all those things.  It also may cost a lot (time, gold, frustration...).

Sounds like the Blizzard we know and love.

On a separate note, does Bornakk sound a bit grumpy to anyone else?  These comments are a bit snarky, given that flying bears and removing currency aren’t discussed in the thread.  Usually CMs post humorous stuff that’s only passingly biting - this stuff’s borderline flames…

Well, consider it’s the official forums. He might get paid to surf it, but still.. Lot of refuse to deal with.. Sooner or later you’re going to get grumpy about that, irrespective of the pay. :tongue:

I don’t think it’s grumpy.

Flying bears is kind of amusing, and I can understand the comment about currency.  Currency only has value if there’s something to spend it on.  If they don’t have something expensive to buy, then enormous inflation will occur.

Look at Diablo II.  Nobody ever trades good items for gold because there simply isn’t anything worth spending gold on.  High levels players are usually constantly gold capped.

I really want to know if the 5000G is going to be lowered wink If it is, my alt isn’t get an epic flyer before WOTLK. If it isn’t, I might as well stop the frustration and buy it now.
