It was different for the time though wasn't it? It came out back in BC.
Yeah, when everybody was cruising around with the Nether Dragon it was something special. Now with the same dragon available as red, blue, purple, black, bronze, armored version it isn't anymore.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you said, but if you're talking about the Netherwing Drake, it most definitely does not have the same model as the generic drakes in Wrath, not even close. IMO not considering rarity the Netherwing drakes are the best looking flying mount models they have made to date. Frostwyrms complete but that's mostly just because I think they're cool flavor wise.
Yeah, between heirloom pieces, keeping an eye on the AH for suitable greens, and crafted stuff, keeping your alt reasonably geared for their level isn't too hard or expensive. You just have to live with the occasional piece that there just doesn't seem to be an upgrade for every few levels.
Since the 2000-honor Wintergrasp Commendations are BoA, you can also send your alt a bunch of honor, buy the Warsong and Defiler PvP pieces every ten levels on the 8's (18, 28, 38, etc.), and never have to worry about not having enough honor to upgrade everything. You don't need tokens or rep with the factions to buy these pieces anymore, just honor, and 2000 honor goes a long way for lower bracket gear. For my 28 Rogue, I think there's only five slots that don't have either heirlooms or blue PvP gear. He could have nothing in those five slots and he'd still have gobs of stats above and beyond what someone in quest or AH greens would have.

Every time someone says the netherdrakes are the best flying mounts, I have to honestly ask if we're looking at the same model. Look at that head. It's a flying shark with a Downs smile. And those wings don't look like dragon wings so much as insect wings.
Flip-side, I love the proto-drakes. They're so ugly-metal. They may not look aero-dynamic, but that's because they don't glide through the air--they fucking rip the air a new asshole as they punch through it.
Which is weird, because I think the protodrakes just look like a drake flew too hard into a brick wall then had most of it's wings chopped off. They look like shit to me.

I think the protodrakes look more typical of dragons you'd see in European fantasy games and stories, while the drakes look more like someone grabbed a dragon and yanked their head to make their neck freakishly long and head freakishly small. If their head were a bit bulkier and had some horns or more pointy scales they'd probably be a bit more acceptable in look to me.
Something more this:

Talking about the albino drake.
I didn't mean your quote, I meant the part where the other guy said when everybody was cruising around with the Nether Dragon it was something special. Now with the same dragon available as red, blue, purple, black, bronze, armored version it isn't anymore, implying that the Netherwing drake is the same model as the standard drakes from WotLK.
Anyways, I don't care for the Proto drake models, and would only use one if it was one of the few that I think look good (Ironbound and Rusted are probably the only ones), but I still fly on my Netherwing drake primarily to this day, because I think it looks outstanding. Of course, everybody has different tastes, diversity is the spice of life and all that.
Really I just want the Mimiron head from Yogg 0 25 man, but I will never have it so meh.

Personally I fly around on my black proto, cause it's faster
So, conundrum. I'm wanting to MMO again soon. I've been off of WoW for somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks. Last time I logged in was during the easter bunny fest. I also did a 2 week stink of SWG and paid for a month of DDO (found that it's just not For me). My things waiting for me to each game are, 80 hunter/70 warrior, various alts in WoW or a 90 jedi with no gear and litte money in SWG.
I really enjoyed my 2 week free run of SWG but Man, that game is a lag fest, and there's tons of pop in and general badness.
If you had to choose one or the other, knowing it would piss of your SO either way, which way would it fall?

I would avoid both to stay sweet with my SO so that I could get more game time in when cataclysm and subsequently SWTOR released

Nice, didn't know about those. And look at that. My priest is about to hit level 28. Convenient.

Don't forget that you can buy purples at 60. I did that with commendations on my warrior mostly just because I liked them, but I also kept parts of the outfit until Northrend despite questing through Outland. In fact, I know I didn't replace my shield until Northrend.

The regular drakes look a bit too much like they're from some saturday morning cartoon.
Dude, if we could get a committed group on Ravenholdt that didn't puss out, I would totally sign up for spending half a year getting everyone in that group Mimiron's head.

That's the hardest part of all is finding a committed group. And I believe in being fair (getting one for everyone), but finding 24 other people committed. Hell when i did OS10 for drakes (when it was hard) I had a hell of a time getting people to stick with it till everyone got their drakes.
Times like that i think RL should always get the first mount for the shit they go through! (and i happened to roll a 100 that day )
I just wish that they'd upgrade ALL your mounts to 310% as soon as you get 1 mount that flies that fast.
While the violet proto is nice and speedy, I'd rather fly something else, like my helicopter.

That's planned for cataclysm. I wish they would make all flying mounts dual use. I want to run around on my Cenarion War Hippogryph (although with old world flying the point will be a bit moot).
Ok, I was just reading some stuff and stumbled across something. Hopefully one of you alliance playing scum can help me out.
Apparently there's some quests in WOTLK that explain why the Draenei aren't moer of a force in Northrend. Any help on this? I can't find the specific quest or what the reason for this is or whatever.
Also, anyone feel like, as the game progresses, everything lore-wise and aesthetic wise about TBC (and Draenei in particular) just feels more and more like a huge fucking mistake?
Well at one point you come across some Draenei who are trying to convince the Human Officials that they want to help and want to know where they can go to do the most good and the Humans basically give them a diplomatic brush off. (Excuse being that the majority of the Alliance forces are ignorant commoners and they would freak out if they were put in locations near Draenei.)
in a quest later you find out that official works for the lich king as part of cult of the damned
yeah, the human diplomat says something like, "Oh, we'd love to have dranei help, but most of the human peasant conscripts would freak out if they had to fight alongside horrible space-goats, and it would ruin unit cohesion." Of course, you do a bunch of quests that discover that the diplomat turns out to be one of those evil elf princes in disguise.
As Drakes go, the Onyxia one looks pretty good, and the one Malygos drops, but that's probably just because of the rarity. Keristraza would make an awesome flyer if she was just a smaller version of the same model, for sure.
If they made every dragon boss in heroics have a chance to drop a mount that looked like them, that would be awesome. As a matter of fact, it should just be the last boss of every heroic. I want my flying mount to be riding piggy back on King Ymiron or Mal'ganis.

I forgot about the Infinite Dragonflight! They should have a mount too. Nothing says "I AM THE BADDEST MOTHERFUCKER YOU'LL EVER MEET" like flying around on a badass black dragon.

Err.. Black dragon swarm? We already have a few black dragon mounts in wotlk -> Onyxia Mount -> black drake. But I agree, an Infinite Dragonflight mount would be sweet.
I wonder if the armor that Deathwing is wearing in his human form will appear in one of T sets.
Edit: My google-fu is weak so here is a screen of the official website:
So if what is coming out of the something Awful thread is true. Garrosh is actually turning out to be awesome being like saurfang but with a very large mean streak and everyone is going to hate Wrynn far far more. (Everyone being every other race in the alliance)
Also Stonetalon has a huge amount of fantastic lore for the horde

Most of the full-size dragon models are fantastic, though.
And at least we can come to a consensus on Mimiron's head. It want it so bad.

But my new favorite mount is the Frostwyrm. That thing is bad ass!

Draneii had quest to ride around on an Elekk around lvl 9 or so, so it wouldn't suprise me
