The original epic mounts won't be in classic.
...unless they show up in the cash shop later. Why else leave them out at release?
What cash shop?
He has a point, something seems fishy about this.
Yeeaahh...
Some say they'll not be in the game because then people who are to slow (or check in later) to buy the mount will feel that they missed something big in the game... again.
I say, for some people in Activision this is a big marketing stunt and money machine. That being said, I agree with Meanderthal.
I don't think there will be items in the cash shop for classic; at least it seems like a very bad PR move
I certainly hope not as well, but I've also wondered about WoW trading card game items... those were pretty big in Vanilla through WotLK. Very special items came from there... so what happens to those now? Are they never available like these mounts?
I have no interest in "collecting" things that will take up space in my bags, won't be added to my bnet account, and serve no purpose except to be a giant cosmetic e-peen. With that having been said, Bliizzard's decision is a huge "fuck you" to those of us who are playing Classic specifically to see and experience all the tings that we missed out on because we weren't poopsockers back in 2004.
1000g in vanilla would be something like 100k g in retail.
I will be farming it, but i won’t put that much effort into getting a mount that looks identical but is only slightly faster.
Odds are i won’t have enough before the armored mounts are released anyway.

They're not going to be available either way, epic mounts will be armored mounts from day 1:
I guess to cap off this old thread and keep it up to date...

"It is the current vendor mounts for 1.12. We aren't putting back the unarmored mounts. We just talked about this recently internally. We know some people are interested in them, but we don't want to put them in for a limited period of time, because we didn't want to influence people through their first leveling experience. Especially people coming back for the first time. We don't want people to feel like they have to rush. If you want to level slowly and enjoy the journey, you should. That's how I like to play--taking it slow, running every dungeon."
Sucks, because I like the unarmored ones better. But whatever, it's already decided.
Whops, missed that. Thanks for the info, Pippina.
