Note the last line of the comment:
I present to you, my mage riding my paladin's mount! (
Obviously, we have no way to know if this is intended as part of the account-wide mounts
)
Just because a "feature" is in on Beta, doesn't mean it'll actually make it to live.
Personally, I think restrictions should remain in place for mounts. Meaning class specific mounts and profession specific mounts should remain exclusive to those classes/professions.

They said originally that account wide mounts might be added shortly after MOP release, but now that they have it on beta already, that means it'll be out with release. Tho, I didn't read that part where they said class specific mounts might not count, I doubt they'll be account wide, they might tho.
Blizzard hasn't made any statement on it since what they announced at Blizzcon. It's just MMO-Champion reporting what they found on Beta.

Actually it's live on Beta now; and at the moment, the Class mounts are accessible on all toons. There's also a Pandaren glitch where Alliance/Horde Pandarens can get the opposite faction mounts.

Adams; please get the name right.
And merely confirming...but it looks like the Pandaren glitch was fixed already.

lol on the beta for me my mounts all disappeared... I can only access my legendary one attached to my staff.
They came back briefly once when I hearthed but haven't returned since.

You can get them back by going through portals(instance or zones), reloading the UI a bunch of times, or logging into another toon then logging back to the main one.

This makes me happy for one reason and one reason only: my
Amani War Bear
. I changed mains mid-WotLK and that mount is the
only
thing I've truly missed from my hunter. The titles (Hand of A'dal and Champion of the Naaru) were nice and I enjoy having them on my hunter, but it wasn't such a big deal. Running around SW/IF on my Amani War Bear though? Yeah, I missed that.

Yeah,i can also finally start an alt.My main has learned to use the Fiery Warhorse from attumen (possibly the best land mount for me),but i just couldn't live without it,now i can play my monk AND enjoy the awesomeness of this mount.
Gah, Attumen's mount. I won't divulge the amount of times I have farmed him, just to yet again not receive the mount. The anger runs high on that one.
But that actually brings up another great point here. Multiple characters means multiple chances per week to farm such mounts. And with this account-wide system it'd actually be a useful way of maximizing your potential of getting the mount. In fact, it'd make sense to begin farming any mounts you want on each of your high-level toons before MoP even releases.

Well it's nice to see it's completely official.

As official as any beta feature is, anyways. The details regarding criteria for account-wide mounts may change between what is in the beta now and the release candidate. Nothing in beta is set in stone. Blizzard has made it a point that they want to move achievements from a character-based model to a player-based model. So in all likelihood this won't change much. But you never know.
