Yes..it is. I think it's an engineer made mount..although I am not positive. They've also had flying mounts for a while that are helicopters.....so....there you go.

 There are 2 motorcycle ground mounts and the helicopter flying mounts. It seems that next content patch will add a new helicopter like flying mount too I am afraid. :/

Yup, it sure is. I don't know why you didn't expect this though. Blizzard would add chicken shaped racing car mounts if they thought everyone would think it would be "kewl" and raid for hours to get it, just as long as they stay subbed. They LONG crossed the line of injecting comical elements into their story, to being the MMO embodiment of a chuck norris joke. 

Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.

Motorbikes, helicopters, aeroplanes and submarines.

Amazing what greed will do to a game company.

Motorcycles and helicopters fit just fine within the WoW universe.  Only mmo nerds would get their panties all in a bunch about it.

 

An no, I haven't played wow in a very long time.

I agree with this guy i spent the entire summer of '08 playing WoW and i think that the Helicoptors and the Motorcycles arent out of place.

Yep.  My guess is the people that are upset about their inclusion to WoW are the ones who are not aware of their previous place in WC lore..or the ones who prefer a super strict medieval/fantasy setting.

Technically hes not saying "11 million loved HItler, 11 million love WoW, Clearly WoW = Hitler"

Hes just making you draw that conclusion yourself.

Besides the fact that WoW was never a strict medieval fantasy game, I don't see anything wrong with offering their customers cool toys which fit with the game's universe. People like it and they continue to subscribe and Blizzard, being a business, is happy because they are making money.

You can call it greed, I call it business.

It's business when it's done in the game one likes, and greed when done in the game one dislikes - the latter obviously being WoW to most people on these somewhat special forums. ;-)

Cheers my friend. The "general" MMO community is just in a phase, they'll move on to some equally insignificant trend to clasp on to. Currently, it's very cool to bash WoW and to put down all of it's players. Soon - actually it's kind of happeneing already - it will be cool to make fun of those people who are still making fun of WoW and it's players for doing so.

People are weak. I support myself for pointing out the stupidity and flaws in everyone else. Anyone, feel free to jab at me, of course I deserve it.

No one complained about the teleport machins engineers can use, or the rocket launchers, but you see a motorcycle and its all over?

I was under the inpression that wow was steampunk fantasy.

Don't forget to add the trend of everyone saying "I PLAYED UO LOTS AND PVPVDZ ALOT SANDBOX4TW" or the classic "I PLAYED IN BETA OF <insert current MMO of the month>ZORZ". Yes, capslock the whole thing.

It's amazing how many people claim to play older games when they weren't really that popular. The numbers don't support the amount of folks claiming they played said game.

Or how people bash a game to no end and claim  the next up and coming MMO will be the Jesus Christ Superstar of the MMO genre, only to have said MMO fizzle out.

Oh joy, another WoW bashing post.

And yeah, if you think that a motorcycle is out of place in WoW lore then clearly you've never paid attention to it in the first place and deserve to have small children point at you in the street and guffaw outlandishly at your hypocrisy.

LOL, why is it ALWAYS greed?!?!???

(rhetorical question. The answer is just as equally called jealousy.)

Why can't it possibly be stupidity or painting oneself into a corner due to bad ideas or lack of creativity or artist blurred vision?!???

Yes, these things do fit the "Warcraft/Starcraft" Universe, they were all seperate games with no real plot. So, because they sucked when it came to plot and world setting, WoW was cobbled together / "square pegged into a round hole" / and has made it big in the MMO scene.

 It really should not suprise Anyone!

I never was a Warcraft person, but I believe the people who say this type of technology fits its universe. And I certainly knew what I was in for in WoW when I learned the game contained guns.

Isn't there some kind of a classification like High Fantasy vs. Low Fantasy? I'm also not a real nerd on either. But ever since I was a kid I've loved Tolkien, and so kind of came to actively dislike the other. To me it's the rough equivalent of Shakespeare vs. a cheesy comic book.
