Cannot fly over borders? Carbonite or Blizzard?

See attached image:

This relates to the Fog of War that I posted earlier. I've been trying to fly around the world to fill-in the Fog of War (unexplored areas) of the world.

But, when I was trying to fly across the border from one zone to another zone, my flying mount went berserk and ceased to fly. It wouldn't progress. I had to back-track to another location merely to land and use my Portal to get away from there.

So, I'm asking if this is caused by an issue with Carbonite maps (Zones?) or has Blizzard changed something so that we can no longer fly over Horde territories if we are Alliance characters?

Carbonite cant block flying or other things that may have to do with flying/moving (there arent API functions for such things).

Thanks, ircdirk. I was just wondering only because I've been able to fly over other Horde zones (with my Allance char) without any problems. Also, the "Zones" issues have presented me with issues, so I wondering if they were related. THANKS!

By any chance, do you know why Blizzard is preventing users from flying over that border? Just curious.

I have only Horde characters but i wil try the same thing on Ally starting zone... as i remember 2 months ago i hadnt have any problems but maybe something changed. Maybe someone with Ally char will check if he has the same issue?

Flying a MILE/KILOMETER over the tops of the areas shouldn't attact enemies into a PvP situation. LOL. At least, that's what I was doing with my Alliance Mage.

My only problem with that place was an invisible barrier preventing me from ANY kind of flying. Trying to fly in a forward direction caused my flying mount to descend -- not advance forward. Geeesh! Good luck to you.

The area in question has been blocked off by Blizzard for years now. It's an undeveloped area of the map and is surrounded by invisible walls.
