When did EQ mounts come along?

[Kekoa]

I noticed that I haven't seen people on mounts at all, so I was wondering when they added mounts? Was it in Luclin? How did/do you guys feel about EQ mounts?

luclin. they were pretty stupid.

[Tewaz]

They were good and bad.

Good = med without sitting and great money sink to balance the economy.

Bad = stupid looking.

I have to admit, I loved Holy Steed AA. There was a time when knights had that as the fastest mode of travel, just a tic faster than a maxxed bard. You'd sloooowly catch up to one and have time to type elaborate emotes of waving as you ooched past.

I hated the Luclin models though =( forced me to use them for that horse. I also hated that the mounts accelerated and decelerated. I just wished it started at the final speed augment like SoW.

They waited to introduce horses until travel was so nerfed the horse was just a plat sink, something to show off. As you traveled to spires to get insta-ported nearly everywhere.

Only fun was traveling to the umbral plains across maiden's eye. could get a pretty decent train goin.

As a shaman I enjoyed the horse... being able to canni without the stand/sit element was excellent [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They weren't that bad

The first ones sucked because you could not see past their head. But it sure beat sitting down all the time. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Luclin was the decline of Everquest. I enjoyed the beastlord class, but everything else just blew. The mounts were not needed and just some way for SOE to keep up with WOW and it's laziness.
