i bought the game....downloading takes its while...
Hope im not disappointed:)
I do hope they add something to fly ourselves in the future. Just not make it combatable so there's no pvp spoiling.
i did take a look at aion but meh i dont like it.
This game is much more polished.

Chances are , no flying mounts or at most very rare ones that can only be used by Guild leaders holding certain political positions similar to L2.

Everyone having flying mounts ruins world pvp and despite what people say, this game was made with pvp in mind. PvE servers themselves are the farthest from the original concept than the pvp servers.

The world of TERA couldnt handle flying mounts, the game world wasnt designed for it.

1) Invisible walls errywhere.
2) I can bet half the zones simply change in some parts. Grass one pixel, sand the next
3) More reasons i cant think of
4) Even more reasons I cant think of
5) Something about PvP
6) wow clone

1. Same thing WoW had...oh look world redone to allow flying mounts in vanilla Azeroth in Cataclysm
2. Terrain changes are irrelevant for flying mounts

I'm pretty positive that WoW did not have "Invisible walls." WoW did have terrain that blocked you however, which from a player point of view is a lot better than an invisible wall as it makes more sense. If WoW had invisible walls, there would be certain bugs that were found later through wall hopping that would not exist I'm pretty sure. But anyway... That was absolutely not the reason why WoW did not have flying originally.

Originally... it didn't have flying because of "point 2" which you said was irrelevant.

Did you ever look at the minimap for WoW while there wasn't flying in original Azeroth? There were some bloody horrible textures out there. If you took the game off line and looked around, the levels were designed to only look nice where players would actually be looking. Meaning if they flew over head, they'd see ugly unpolished uncared for stuff. Swathes of blurred and smeared textures and such.

Games are good at being "fake" ... All those fancy buildings you see in the distance? Chances are they're billboards and low res! They look great, cause you'll never get close to them. ;)

So, Azeroth overhall was needed to solve this, basically. They had to redesign the "Levels" to work with flying.

THAT BEING SAID!

I kinda like things the way they are in Tera. Don't need flying mounts... but I would love a dragon mount =D Oh well... one day... maybe a basalisk mount? >:3 Game rocks regardless!!!
