I'll have to be a little dull here on this one and go with foot travel as well.
Running and porting. And boats.
Mounts are OK, too, if they don't get silly.
My personal preference would be to have nothing but the basics available at launch.
Hugging the wall, or barely out running the huge train to the zone because you didnt. Everything else EQ had to offer was great, minus the Planes of Power instant port hub.
Flying mounts or anything else that lets you simply bypass content for the sake of convenience cheapens the game for me. Druids or Wizards should be necessary for convenient travel.
I love mounts that are blazing fast, In Black Desert Online we would hold horse races and it was your goal to go from one end of the map to another, any route was acceptable. Racing was fun, most times the fastest horse didn't win, the horses that were able to cut through mountians and stuff won. I hope races in some form gets implemented or at least supported :P
No two mounts should be the same in my opinion, especially in terms of speed.
I HAVE A NEED FOR SPEED!
Personally I like the more or less realistic mounts. All kinds of tameable wildlife is fine, but hoverboards and translucent dragons aren't really my thing.
I hope I'm not getting the games mixed up, but I think it was in Vanguard:
First time I noticed that if you walk backwards whilst on a horse, the horse would actually look behind to see where it was going.
Such a nice detail I thought at the time
Wicky
In WoW the best and coolest way for travel was the travel form of my Druid. But at the beginning I played an undead and there for a long time I was only walking. I still know how epic it was, as I finally was able to afford a skeleton horse. If we would be able to build our own ships, which we can use to sail on the waters of terminus, this for sure would be another great way to travel.
I would have to say that travel by boat in EQ1 was, by far, the most memorable experience I had early on in MMOs. However, flying above the landscapes trumps them all. There's just something about being able to see SO much of the world from that perspective. Not sure how they will implement them, if they do at all, but my favorite form of travel is flying.
Edit: Oh, as far as the MMO goes, I'd have to say the most fun I had with a flying mount was in WoW.

You can always start your own races on whatever server you end up on. Maybe you'll become famous for it. " Mortanos' Measure of Mettle " ??
Boat. Something magical about sitting on a dock waiting for a big ship to pull up, folks /shout BOAT! and jumping aboard.
Something just awe-inspiring traveling across vast oceans (for painfully long times) which completely immerses one in the sheer SIZE of the world.
The boat music from EQ has been my alarm clock sound for years.

I like that idea :O
I would have to say my favorite would be horse back and J boots from EQ along with Levitation buff to be able to levitate across areas of the zone to make things a little easier. This would help make those who want flying mounts a little happier and its a nice compromise.
I understand the desire for mounts. I honestly prefer things like JBoots, or levitating/speed enhancements. Things that enhance the character, and isnt just a slap on addition like a mount. I enjoyed Wizards and Druids being the only method for teleportation. Interclass reliance made it more social.
