World of Warcraft Warlords of Draenor

World of Warcraft finally adding flying to Draenor tomorrow

World of Warcraft believes you can fly, but it won’t be easy.

Patch 6.2.2 adds flying in Draenor when it launches tomorrow. Flight had become a staple of World of Warcraft since it appeared in the first expansion, 2007’s The Burning Crusade. However, Blizzard originally resisted letting players soar through Draenor, the new land added in last November’s Warlords of Draenor expansion. It hoped that doing so would encourage players to explore on foot, since it worried that many were flying over the MMO’s secrets and detailed worlds.
