What are the most awesome ways to travel in an MMO? In this week's The List, we take a look at five awesome MMO 'mounts'.

MMOs are often made up of expansive worlds, so what better way to get around than on your very own mount? If you have even a tiny bit of experience playing games in the MMO genre, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve owned your own mount. But not all mounts are alike; certainly some are more awesome than others. In this week’s The List we’ll be taking a look at five of our favorite mounts in MMO history.

Good list!

I'm not a WoW fan, but that motorcycle is pretty kickass.

However, my all time favorite mount is the plain and simple light-brown horse from EverQuest 2. lol. I have no idea why.

My vote goes to Titans from EVE

The AOC mount looks epic but If I was to pick a mount from WOW it would be the spectral tiger without question. 

Good list, my personal fave was all the different forms of travel in Champions Online. Running between quest areas is so much cooler when you are literally leaping tall building with a single bound. Totally badass!

Mechanical Horses in RIFT.

That Flying Squirrel in EQ2.

Your very first spaceship in EVE.

Ah... Love this topic! :D

The tigers in AoC....mmhmmmm

For me it's the mini spectral tiger in WoW  Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEYDQpBnRvQ LOL!  Stuff like this that Make WoW so much fun to be a part of, too many games are too serious.

I don't think any game could ever compare to the variety and coolness of SWG's mounts, vehicles and star ships.

Chocobo's are not in the list?

Yes. Super Jump has to be the single coolest form of travel in any MMO I've tried. Granted it might look a bit silly to pick among powers that includes Flight (!), but still... :)

I'm quite entertained by the Rift giant spider mount.

Yea the powers were certainly not all created equal, but each had a unique "cool" factor. I think I eventually took the teleportation one cause it worked so well. 

Galaxy Dropship... I had forgotten what a godamn kickass feeling that was, dropping a full combat squad right in the lap of the enemy. A good pilot, a few combat planes on the side... Amazing fun! Can't wait to do that again ( I was never the good pilot. I was the really good MAX unit.)

AoC's Tiger and Wolf are pretty epic, just a horrible a grind.

I never really liked the 2 seater rocket myself. Spectral Tigers or the pally and Warlock mounts when u had to get them the hard way........You know?.......When you had earn them rather than just get them for leveling up?.........Remember those days?  Anyway, never got a chance to say planetside but that dropship looks kick ass!

i know anarchy online is abit old but it had some cool mounts/vechiles

Chocobos were awesome, especially since you raised your own from an egg. They're so cute as babies, too. Actually made my kind of sad when mine grew up.

Bonus points for the chocobo theme music. Its one of the few things I still enjoy about FF games.

I don't see how you can class a spaceship as a mount to be honest,you arecarried within in it not sitting on it.

But still i will go with mounts that you ride in MMOs.

For me like the more natural type of mounts,meaning animals rather than machanical type mounts.

So ill go with this first.

And then..

I have to admit that the most fun mount related thing I ever participated in was AoC; player cliff-kicking. Not that I am such a huge griefer but it was too much fun to pass up on the opportunity. V_V
