Blizzard has finally seen fit to give Worgen players — or more specifically, the Gilnean faction — their own mounts. Worgen originally had no racial mount because of their innate ability Running Wild, which allowed the Worgen to be their own mounts, dropping to all fours and moving at mount speed. The new Gilnean mounts appear to be unarmored horses coming in brown and grey colors. It is presumed that players will be able to purchase these mounts if they are exalted with the Gilnean faction, much like how other factions’ mounts work.

Players were torn over Running Wild, mostly because each mount collected counts toward the achievement Mountain o’ Mounts, which rewards a Red or Blue Dragonhawk to fly around on. Many Alliance players were upset over the fact that Horde players had an easier time collecting 100 mounts because of the Goblins’ trikes. Horses make sense for Worgen, as Worgen are still essentially a Human nation, and Humans in Warcraft ride horses. These two particular mounts seem a bit plain, though. These new mounts are coming in most likely to ease the disparity between mounts when faction changes occur. All in all, this is good news for Alliance mount collectors.Continue reading Patch 4.3: Worgen racial mountsFiled under: CataclysmPatch 4.3: Worgen racial mounts originally appeared on WoW Insider on Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:30:00 EST.
