    My answer to the twitter question is you get knocked backward off the horse, stunned and dazed. Nearby NPC's point at you and laugh. Nearby PC's may react how they see fit.


    For overland travel, will horses be faster? Will pedestrian speed be reduced to what it once was, years ago? Though it's not as if pedestrian travel is the main way to go for large distances these days.

    That's what I was wondering. They've already indicated that people are pushing the limits of what the server/client can handle in terms of run-speed. So I doubt they'd go faster.

    How will mounts objectively improve the gameplay? As pack mules? As more combat pets?

    I'm aware that people paid into the mounts stretch goal long ago... but I've never heard any real explanation as to... why? What's the goal? The fact the stretch goal goes back before the dawn of time only says to me that they never had any coherent long plan for them. They're doing it because they've decided to honor this specific obligation.

    My wild guess is it will serve 2 purposes : allow non-magic users to get a nice speed buff that could compete, and help for RP purposes. That is the only 2 reasons I see to have horses in this game right now.

    Just gonna bring this up again as was discussed on the live stream:

    Would be great if when mounts come in, there was a spirit mount or something you could summon for magic users, ideally what would be best if each tree had its own mount you could only summon after taking specialization in that tree.

    It sounded to me on the stream from what I heard Chris say that mounts were only being created as another shiny with little utility. Let's rally for more. Mounts should be viable having saddle bags we can equip for extra storage, faster than walking on foot or running. They should be useful not just shiny. Let us hold horse races, let us do fencing on them, let us show them off too of course. They don't have to fight in battles with us except for fencing but just adding them to add them is such a waste imo. Make us proud. I want to build a horse racing track in Wizards Rest with bleachers, timers, and a horn or shotgun that goes off.

    Lets start with a nice system fully implemented that can be added to later. Things like special mounts etc. We never got our nice bundles for Episodes like Pirates bundle (could include a special pirate's mount, and ship)Shogun Bundle ( to include Shogun house ect). Bundles worthy of this game instead of deco stuff only. Bundles in different price ranges for those who want to buy cool stuff and can. Just make stuff trade-able. We don't want such limits.
