Around Azeroth: Drift away
Submitter Brëdho of <Tempted Killers> on Elune (US-A) writes, "Last night I was going about my normal activities, strip-mining the heck out of Wintergrasp, when my internet connection dropped just as I was dismounting from my lovely gryphon. As a result, I lost the mount animation but retained the range of motion of being mounted and was strangely stuck on autorun. So for the 7 minutes it took for my client to realize the servers had hung up on it, I enjoyed the opportunity of actually flying through the air. I'd love it if I could actually fly with wings made out of the aurora borealis like in this pic."

No wonder my computer takes a much bigger hit from Wrath than it ever did in BC.
That is just.. beautiful.

A somewhat routine feature for druids with a little bit of server lag. Flying in caster form uses the swimming animation. Never thought to screen cap it, particularly since it only lasts a second or three when it happens.

This happened to me a while back (in March) but I had the good fotune of it lasting a couple of hours. Needless to say I went on a spree floating around my Northrend Ghost World, snapping as I went. It was fun getting shots from within Horde areas:

Day after day I'm more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong
