Mount Skills Hotfix

The forums have been lively with players who had purchased a mount before they were high enough level to use it. These characters were not given the new riding skill and so, in effect, would have to pay double for their mounts. Blizzard intends to fix this for all concerned (nice to see customer service be a priority!). Blizzard’s Tseric posted the following:

We will be issuing rolling restarts across all realms at 4:00 AM PDT, Thursday, September 28 to apply a hot fix that will address an issue with mount riding skills. Players that had a mount in their inventory but were not given the appropriate riding skill should find that this has been corrected after this fix is applied. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
