When did EQ mounts come along?

[Lagaidh]

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.
