Any chance of getting a flying mount for testing?

Hi guys - this may be a dumb question, as I'm not sure of the "item name" or code or whatever to give to my own player, but is there any way of giving myself a flying mount for testing? Reason I ask is selfish. I have a 4-year-old daughter, and I took her through Telon a year or two ago, when we could explore and move around without fear of dying to "the red things" (as she refers to them). She knows lots of places, such as Rahz Inkur, River Palace (the purple snake that dwells in there is her favorite to see and 'hiss' at us - she even has a song she wrote about it), many boats on the shore, tunnels, caves, the arena, islands, and other areas I've introduced her to in the past. Lately she has a profound interest in seeing those areas again. I've tried showing her a lot of those areas the past couple weeks, but I have to walk and/or swim to them, which unfortunately takes a lot of time.. and 100% of the time I end up dying to higher level mobs when I get to them or try to get to them. Understandable, given that it's becoming an actual MMO again.

If New Telon is at a point at which we need to look forward and not allow invincibility and/or free movement, as well as free flying mounts, then I'm all for that.. especially if it means bringing back the game I loved back in the day, then by all means - no way means no way; I'll start a new character and start leveling to get to those areas. But if there's any way to quickly achieve some of this to show her some of this stuff again.. especially Kotasoth in APW and the "purple snake" in the River Palace.. then would you tell me how I can go about this? I've had some luck in getting riftways to get us to some familiar areas, but no luck in getting mounts for travel via the Exchange. There are lots of other areas I'd like to take her through to see as well without having to die to mobs (not wanting to get gear or to kill any particular bosses; just wanting to see them).

Sorry if I missed this in a previous post as to how to go about this; I've tried keeping up, but I of course may have missed a lot in some of my absence. I'd be more than happy to use some of this for testing purposes, as I would love to also use this to log bugs if I see them, etc.

Anyway, thank you in advance!

[Edit - not trying at all to get easy access to endgame stuff, as I've seen it, lol, check my logs..]

Last Quest on Isle of Dawn (Ascension) has an flying Pegasus mount as reward. But you can rent griffons, wyvern and pegasus at the usual spots too.

One thing you will notice, at the old lifeservers, you could rise your hight by pressing spacebar/jump button. At emulator, only by changing direktion.

Hi Vurgood/bad,

Honestly, I'd like you test everything out, travel a lot, /bug legit bugs, etc. Getting around the world is part of that, I understand.

See me online, will be on late tonight/tomorrow.

I may be wrong but i believe the .aggro command still works. This will make it so mobs will not attack you unless you attack them first.

example : .aggro on or .aggro off


So once you get a flying mount from the end quest of isle of dawn you can share you exploration with your daughter 8)

Thank you guys! I'm working through the Isle of Dawn now to get that mount. Things are really solid, especially compared with the last time I tested (which was awhile back). Moldew - I'll definitely hit you up. Thank you again!
