Love in-game flight too (could be timed so we don't skip content) but it add a great sense of freedom for me and I love real 3D zones designed with flight in mind.
After the 1000th time running around on the same place why not fly over it? Better than insta-click-teleports.

No flight, first person. Maybe Sand Giants will actually feel big again. I'm banking on no flight, but predicting third person.
Oh I forgot, I don't know if it is feasible, or if Brad and co. are already considering it, but going on the first person from gogojira, Oculus Rift Support. The Dev kit is only 300 dollars and you can incorporate the coding into the game.
I am pretty certain that the ding noise is not owned by SoE because I have heard it in other games.
I personally do not want flying in the game even as flight paths, however if flying mounts were to be put into the game I feel the best way would be as a reward for defeating the most difficult raid encounter in the game(to date), and only one person from the raid can get it at a time. Then have the Flying mount have a time limit of X amount of time per day of use, based on the world size, so you cant always fly all over the place. This way you have to plan how you are going to use it, if at all each day. (See Log Horizon Episode 2 and 3).

Lol no shit, I heard it in some Nintendo 3DS Mario game and went all Pavlov dog on it yelling Hey that's from EQ.
Please no flying mounts or flight paths. I'd prefer no mounts period, keeping things like jboots (and SoW, see the previous few posts) worthwhile.
But if you must put them in, they have to be slower than any buff provided by another class.

That it trivializes travel. People enjoy travel making the world feel big, kills a lot of the class interdependency, therefore the highly social nature, that EQ had a lot. Also it makes travel super safe, while it was quite dangerous in EQ (unless again, you got certain classes to help you, or traveled with friends).
Okay, explain the mechanics of putting mounts in the game, say at level 20, while at the same time, having a buff like SoW.
It will render SoW next to worthless outdoors, which means that's one less way people will interact. Another design decision that will lead to the overworld being a quiet wasteland full of people passing each other by on mounts at upper levels.
No.
Not about WoW at all for me and I don't hate it all of the time. However, unless a game is absolutely gargantuan in scale, flight seems like a fast way to shrinking a world. That's basically my sentiment for third person, too. I don't actually hate the view and I can see benefits to it, but when you're looking at a giant from eye level of your character, it's so much easier to put a scale on things.

Has there been any word on if Brad is considering Oculus Rift support? First person view is one thing, but Oculus Rift first person view would be the win big time. They could recycle the old EQ thing of "You're in our world now," and modify it to say, "You're REALLY in our world now!"
I can't think of a better way to create true immersion.

First-person has to be the only-person, else it will hardly be used.
Go for it, Brad. Don't wimp out.
