I was thinking, (a dangerous thing for me) Why not add horses to the game. Then I though of how this could be done. An easy way would be to add another place to wear something...as in

(Wielded) Jewelled Broadsword
(Tatooed) Yo Mommas Backside
(Riding) Light War Horse

If the horse/mount is removed it shows up as an item in the room. as in

Standing here is a well muscled horse.

Upon closer inspection you can have where it is labeled like a pet mob as in

The small war horse is branded with the Symbol of Elmaster.

Some of the advantages could be.
1. Reduces move cost.
2. Enhanced the Charge skill depending on the size of the mount.
3. A more conceivable place to store food and water. (Kinda goofy to imagine a group of people walking across the continent carrying 30 ribs on their back) And possibly other items. Saddle bags can be bought at the Stables for this, and can be removed from the horse when not mounted.

They dont really fight when alone, act like most mobs without their master right nearby and just flee.

I know a problem would come with them being summoned constantly...but there may be ways to avoid that. I.E. as in make them resistant to summon, make them only summonable if not being riden ect.

Just an idea...It would be more of a RP thing, but there are some nice possibilities.

Just a thought.
