Those of you who play MMORPGs (or maybe some other Massively Multiplayer Online Game) usually have a favorite way to get around (besides using the oldest form of transport known to man... your feet). However you got your ride, how about showing it off? And let us know where/how you got it (unless you want to keep that secret). Anyways... I'll start.

I use this most of the time in AO. It's handy for getting to those places usually populated by things so dangerous I'd be one-shotted to death.

Here it is! My Phasefront Wraith X2-45 (Urban Camo). I have a few other vehicles, but this is my favorite one. :)

This Hoverbike cost me 250 paidpoints (yeah, I spent $10 for 1000 paidpoints, so it's cheap to me). If you're wondering where I'm parked at, it's at the Phasefront Wraith showroom platform. The other platforms are for the Phasefront Spectre and Banshee hoverbikes as well as for the Hoverboards. :)

I'd by the Yalmaha vehicles, but those things are EXPENSIVE!!! 5 million credits just for the lowest quality Yalm, and those rarely show up in shops.

In World of Warcraft, this is my way of getting around.



Not easy to get hold of, but fun to have. Took me plenty of hours trying to gain reputation with a certain faction to get a hold of the schematics, then a week or two to gather all the required materials, and finally it cost me about 11 500 gold for all the parts I couldn't make myself. Got a sidewagon too, but it's not open in those shots (if you look at the wheel on the side that looks like a reserve tire, that's actually the wheel of the packed up sidewagon).

Nice bike, Biz. My husband was working to get that bike when we decided to take a break from WoW. He's got the Turbo-Charged flying machine , though.

I've seen the flying carpet around and I wish they made it smaller to fit the character. It's way too big.

Yikes! That's one expensive bike! I hear that it can take a passenger... kinda like the vehicles in Starwars Galaxies. I wish I had my screenshots from that game; I'd show off my personal YT-1300 (named it the "Lucky Star" )... :)

Well City of Heroes only has jet packs as far as mounts go so that leaves WoW I guess. My priest being my main and an ambassasdor to the horde he has a few mounts so I've decided to pick my two favourites.



First up we have his skellie horse, he had to do a lot of undead butt kissing to get it, but the Forsaken love him now. As you can see we have it in it's natural state with it's dark aura and then again sharing my shadowform.



And the traditional mount of his people the majestic Chocobo... uh Hawk Strider yes that's it Hawk Strider. Once again in it's natural state and me doing my shadowiness as a shadow priest I do that.

I mainly use my birdie I like it. Though I'll be getting a mechanohog later on an engineer friend of mine said she'd make me one which will be fun... Shadow Motorcycle!

Whoot! We just hit fifty comics!

The only MMORPG I play is the Shin Megami Tensei one, which I only just started playing after reading the free MMORPGs thread. So, I'm not at a high enough level to learn the mount skill yet.

Hopefully, when I do, I will have a suitably awesome demon to ride.

Ya know what's funny is that you can get any racial mount now without earning reputation. I had a blood elf with an undead horse too, and when I read that I was like, "NOOOOooo! All that work!"

What!? That takes all the fun out of having another Race's mount. Well I suppose my priest is STILL Ambassador Shadenox so I get free parking atleast.

Oh I have another ride this is fantastic this one.



Just finished putting this baby together it's plunger assembled, fuel efficient Meatcar this baby has everything. An engine with a cog and sprocket assembly of course, a full tank and tires with sweet rims, all made from top quality Gnollish parts. I totally take it down to the Desert Beach on weekends.

(I'm sorry couldn't resist)

EDIT: I just checked, still requires rep I think you got it confused with the racial requirements being removed, you know so a Tauren can sit on a chocobo.

I guess I should show off my hoverboards, though I barely use them (why run your way through hostile territory when you can simply fly over your troubles?).


First is my Phasefront Phantom Hoverboard. I'm posing next to the display model on my own board.


Next is my Phasefront Candycane Flyer. This was a limited item. I have a limited Oni board on another character; I'll show that off later.


This isn't mine, but it's a new vehicle that was just introduced a few days ago to anyone who preordered the newest AO booster. Too bad these hoverchairs are groundbound (they don't fly). Actually, this was the first time I've actually seen one. I think I'll just stick with my hoverbikes for now. :)

ow... poor chocobo won't last long. Unless you have a chiropractor for it.

More like Adamantium bone infusion.
Those were my two cents.

I got one more "ride" to show off. For paying accounts, you can summon one of 2 or 3 mechs. While they act as armor they only do as much damage as you usually do with your weapons and you can't use your nanoprograms. Not as fast as the hoverbikes, but still...

Anyways, what I'm piloting in the screenshots is the Heavy Mech. Pretty damned slow. In fact, it's the slowest of the 3 mechs you can use. There's also the scout mech, which is the fastest, and the personal scout mech which is in the middle speedwise (and you have to purchase it via paidpoints and have the Alien Invasion expansion too).

Honestly, I don't really see any use for these in PvE. I can't take them into missions and you can't show them off in cities. I could use them for travelling if I didn't have the hoverbike option though...
