Does anyone have any information on when they did begin appearing in the wild?
This description can also be seen on the current UO Guide (on live servers, horses spawn all over the world, and this is 100% confirmed information). The above quote suggests that horses did spawn in the old lands, but were fairly infrequent at the time.Horses are, of course, the primary means of quick travel about the land. It is believed that wild horses are extinct in Britannia, although rumors persist of a herd being spotted in this or that remote spot. Although rightly famed for their faithfulness and stamina, horses are also excitable creatures of no great intellect, and prone to panic at any danger, if not under the hand of a strong and experienced rider.
If you saw people selling ostards and llamas at the bank, then that would have happened after the change which allowed the two creature types into the main lands was allowed (unless done ilegally). If that's the case, there is substantial definitive proof that shows that horses spawned in the old lands during 2000 and later.Frozard Hyromantle wrote:I remember specifically calling staff on OSI and them telling me horses did not spawn on the mainland. Its still my belief that they didnt. Back then I lived and breathed UO and there wasnt a spec of ground I hadnt ran across and I never once in all that time ever saw one single horse in the wild. They simply were not there. I believe that people are either getting mixed up with newer era's or freeshards. I never EVER saw anyone selling horses at the bank, the only things I saw people selling were Ostards and llamas. There were no horses on the mainland.

If we follow that line of thinking we can also say this:Jaster wrote:http://web.archive.org/web/199902181015 ... m/hunters/

National Velvet this is not. Beasts of burden in every sense of the term. UnFortunately they do not appear in the wild, because they tend to be rather expensive.
