Any World of Warcraft player that has ever tried to carefully hurdle a pesky stream with their land mount, only to miss, get dismounted, and have to mount back up again, will be happy to know that Blizzard has heard your frustrated cry for help.

We just got word that the first patch to be released, after the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, will allow mounts to swim beneath you as you make your way through water.
