Die Kollegen unserer Schwesterseite WorldofWar.net haben ein Interview mit Chefdesigner Jeff 'Tigole' Kaplan geführt, in dem er auf den kommenden Content-Patch 3.1 hin angesprochen ein bisschen mehr über die Schwimmfähigkeit der Landreittiere erzählte:

We're going to make it so all ground mounts can swim. Players always found it very disturbing that you'd be in Un'goro Crater and you're riding along on your mount and you hit that one little bit of water and suddenly you have to resummon the mount again. Shaman for quite some time have enjoyed how it feels on Ghost Wolf when you hit the water, yeah you slow down but at least you keep swimming and if it's just a small patch of water you pick up speed again. So that's definitely something we had initially wanted to get into WotLK, it didn't quite make it but it will definitely be in the patch that follows, it's already complete as a matter of fact.

Das Feature hat es laut Tigole leider nicht mehr bis zum Start von WotLK geschafft, wird aber definitiv im folgenden Patch kommen, da es jetzt fertig ist. Angenommen mit dem Patch ist der "Ulduar" Patch 3.1 gemeint, könnte das allerdings noch ein paar Monate dauern.
