That is no lie - I cannot wait to hit 80 with my first team on this new server just so I can get flying. I wound up having to stop doing instances and start doing quests because I'd have cut my wrists running a level-appropriate instance at least 10x for each level, and without flight Northrend goes a bit slow.
