Well, it might stay low. Remember, flying in the old world was one of the big promises of cataclysm. If you suddenly have to pay the equivalent of epic flight for it, it could piss off enough people to consider not continuing.

I mean I have enough to get my main the 310% flight now. But if I had to go come up with *ANOTHER* 5000g to use it in Azeroth, I'd go tell Blizzard to go @#$% themselves and wait for SW:TOR to come out.

Seems to me that making the purchase of Cataclysm mandatory to use Azeroth flight is enough and the amount to buy the skill should be small.

remember northrend flying in the beta? you got it from a quest. then they up and decided to change it to cost 1k gold. i would expect the same here. come launch day you'll be staring at a 5k gold cost for flying in old world.
