from ZAM News (full)

Two new types of mounts were introduced to the game today: Leapers and Gliders. Leapers can spring high into the air, allowing players to cover a respectable distance between each jump. Gliders can also leap to a lesser extent, but their wings will catch the wind and sail, tip and climb at your command. Adventurers and Crafters alike are offered quests to obtain these new mounts. The Leaper quests are available starting at level 30 and the Glider quests at level 60. Help protect and salvage these strange creatures and earn their trust! To aide your journey we have two new quest guides: Leaper Mounts and Glider Mounts ! Continue after the jump to see a video showing off the two new mount types in action. The first mount shown is the Glider; the second is the Leaper.
