WoW becomes a little easier

BY Andrew Miesner / June 11, 2009

In the next major content patch, Blizzard will be making changes to mount requirements to help improve your leveling experience in WoW.

You are now able to get a mount at level 20 and your epic mount at level 40. The Apprentice Riding skill will cost you 4 gold and 1 gold for the mount. You can now get your flying mount at level 60. Also, it will only take 1.5 seconds to summon your mount, down from 3 seconds. With this new patch we will see the play time for everyone reduce a great amount.
