Astral Cloud Serpent
This is not a grumpy, doomsayer State of the Union or a “Why I’m quitting WoW” post, because I’m not quitting and I still love the game.
However, I have played WoW on and off since just after AQ40 and just before TBC and I have certain milestones[stars] seared into my memory.
I won’t get into all of them but the ones that are mount related are these;
The first time I saw The Ashes of Al’ar flying around Shattrath.
The first time I saw a pair of Icebound Frostbrood Vanquishers hovering above Dalaran.
The first time I saw a lone Smoldering Ember Wyrm high above Karazhan.
The first time I saw an Astral Cloud Serpent pulsating at breakneck speed high up in the skies over Kun-Lai.
They were all magical moments in time and now I have them all.
When the Astral Cloud Serpent dropped I was so elated I rode it for an hour from Orgrimmar to Frostsaber Rock, down to the Throne of the Four Winds and back to Durotar.
Although this was way back when, and I have played in a continuum since then, it felt like a
“Game Over” moment looking back. I had “Won”
