Needless to say, this is a spectacular and annoying way to die. I mighta kinda sorta tamed a rhino just to knock things off of high places last night..... that was fun.... I can't wait to use that in the towers in AV..... Just to re-iterte on what Shibumi said, flying over anything that counts as indoors or unmountable areas, no matter how high you are, dismounts you.

I killed mobs in Nagrand all of yesterday with a lv61 bear (my toon being 66) and couldn't stop. The fact that I can dps like no tomorrow without the pet losing aggro is amazing, having used to grabbing aggro from my lv65 cat every time I happen to use more than four Steady Shots on a mob. Heck.. I can kill three 65 mobs simultaneously with my bear, whereas my retail cat would've had huge difficulties with just two. I'm SO going to get that Collector's Edition, just for the Frostwyrm. It seems pretty pricey though, $70. Better start saving now. I finally got into the EU PTR yesterday, and must say: the pets are awesome.

You spend half your time lagging like all billyo, and the other half of your time looking at "World server is down" and being unable to log into Northrend.

Today must be my day for nostalgia. When my family would watch home movies (and I mean movies) when I was a kid, he would also show a bunch of cartoons he had bought over the years. One was Chilly Willy, in black and white, silent (projector didn't have sound anyway) with title cards. Yeah, this has nothing to do with hunter pets. Sorry about that; back to you guys.
