On February 6, 2009, sometime after Patch 3.0.8a, Bornakk posted on the forums that the Ahn'Qiraj gates will automatically be open on all new future realms. Lua error in a at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found.

Additionally, you could "insta switch" to the scarab mount while flying or running with another mount.

(Though, if you landed while casting and took damage it interrupted the cast). Patch 2.2.0 (2): Before this patch: unlike normal mounts, one could cast it while falling and mount up mid-air. Patch 3.0.3 (0): Converted into a normal mount, which removed one of its unique features - the ability to start summoning the mount while still in combat as long as the player was out of combat at the completion of the summon.
