Welcome back to The Queue (http://www.wow.com/category/the-queue), WoW.com's daily Q&A column where the WoW.com team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Michael Sacco (http://www.wow.com/bloggers/michael-sacco/) will be your host today.

That's influenza A virus subtype H1N1 up there, but I'm pretty sure you thought it was just a really blurry map of Northrend at first glance. I'm not wrong. You thought it.

Mr. Shinra asked...

Why exactly are there places where we suddenly and magically cannot mount up (I mean *aside* from combat which is obvious), such as getting killed by the trash after Ionar in Halls of Lightning and having to run all the way back. You've seen how big and expansive those halls are, I don't see a major reason why we cannot mount up to get back a bit quicker. At least in Culling of Stratholme we can ride from that house to the city proper-- so its not a consistent rule entirely either.

I'm not suggesting there aren't places where it makes a bit more sense; I can understand small areas such as the various vendors in Orgimmar and their tiny huts, where there just isn't enough room, but a lot of the times, it seems like we have to dismount because... the game said so, and nothing else. For the majority of locations where it occurs, why do we have to dismount?

The rule in place for 99% of the game is that you cannot mount indoors. There are some exceptions to the rule, such as Ironforge, but that's the basic idea.Continue reading The Queue: More like Porkrend, am I right (http://www.wow.com/2010/01/01/the-queue-more-like-porkrend-am-i-right/)
