Horses - So now that Version 1.69 is here...

[Wids]

...how soon until we can ride the horsies in the Warehouse District? 

[Ric]

Probably as soon as the devs take time to work with all the new additions of 1.69, I'd imagine.  Give it time, it'll come. 

[EO]

It's not a priority right now. We'll then evaluate horses and see if they can be implemented correctly without ruining the feel of the server. In a nutshell, give it time.

[Helaman]

Maybe you should need a horse before you transition to the new areas outside of Barovia? That would make sense AND attach a cost moving between realms...

That's easy!  Just make all of the horses black.

Seconded. 

Also, Falkovnia sucks.  Let's not go there.

Dumbkopf!

Falk could just be a walled fort town... so say 2-3 maps and a pub/general store... wouldnt take much. No one (except via DM quest) gets beyond the fort wall (think Hadrians wall)

I can see it from here.

Implement cep2 :  45mins
Farm enough gold for a horse : 3days
Time a werewolf takes to eat the horse : 2 seconds

Laughing at the poor sap as he screams abuse at the werewolf?

Priceless

Priceless

you forgot the after effects price of raising said fool after werewolf eats him

200-2000 fangs

price fool tries to raise to raise horse

laughable 

[Wids]

Silver longsword: 800 fangs.
Dire bear studded leather armor: 650 fangs.
Silver shortsword: 500 fangs.
The look on the werewolf's face when your Ambidexterity and Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feats pay off again:  Priceless.  

Dumbkopf!

Gesundheit.

Would give some use for that Horse Farm in the warehouse district.

Horses seem to me a bad pick. ALoDD had em but not everyone used em, but I guess If everyone has a horse it will morely look like the old game Twisted Metal or Carmageddon but with horses. Everyoen riding about like mad. ;D

You say that like it's a bad thing.

It Is a very bad thing, I am here for the RP not for the action.

So what's wrong if someone elses RP, includes a horse?  Never did Understand why the term RP is used to Exclude things, that are as much a definitive part of PLAYING A ROLE, as typing words, in a box.

By a very subjective quick judgement, horses can be very disturbing to the atmosphere if not handled as living animals you ride on, but rather something that just extends your height and allows you to move around in new groovy ways.

However, I do agree that more opportunity is good for roleplay, so I'm not catagoricly against implementing them. There's just so many things we need to test and figure out before we can make a proper judgement.

Feed, water, and take care of them, otherwise they die.  If you bring them in, something should be added to them for upkeep (maybe a Horse only HTF script, I know implementing that for the players would cause a banshee-esque wail of doom).  I'm all for the Horses personally, just for the option and the fact I dislike coconuts.

Coconuts?  But this is a temperate zone!

The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?

Seriously though, we're evaluating it. On a positive note, we won't have to redo all of the transitions in the module if we put horse riding in, just any custom ones (like the ring of choking fog near the Village of Barovia).
