WoW Forever mounts and riding
In WoW Forever the cost of a mount moves into riding training, as in The Burning Crusade: you pay the trainer once and your first mount comes with the skill. Developers have quoted 100 gold and 1,000 gold for the two riding levels. There is no flying, and the beta client holds about 42 new mounts.
