suggesting a no mount day, as an event

[ehafh]

would really enjoy seeing a day go by with people not going at lightning speeds on a mount.
anyone else think this could be an enjoyable event? is it possible?

[Mikel123]

I don't think you can FORCE people off of mounts (where do they go, etc) but I suppose you could offer incentives.

[Ifrit]

Would be absolutely tremendous IMHO.

However, Mikel pretty much sums it up

[Chaos]

Doable in code yes .. just a world wide lowering of move rate if mounted .. and really don't think it would that bad for a one day thing (not much worries with bugs or exploits)

Now if Derrick, staff and players etc. agree I don't know .. but this I'm pretty sure could be done without much trouble in code with full staff support.

[Mikel123]

You'd have to have one hell of a message to get the attention of players when the logged in, too.

[BlackFoot]

could do it in a local area and have an event there to encourage peopel to go there.
town invasion in brit all the animals have fled etc

[DrFaustus]

I can only imagine the number of threads that would pop up...oh lordy.

What about monster move rates? Would they be decreased as well? I like the idea of having a town under attack but I remember all the times I engaged in stuff like that on OSI it was lag city.

[Chaos]

No it would be an issue of changing the move speed of players .. not mounts them self .. basicly a cap put on move speed so that no human/player can have a higher speed rating then on foot. (I'm not a coder but pretty sure with the little mods I have done to uo in the past it would be a change to player accounts. ) (as for polymorph I'd say if they having altered speed ratings then human I would leave them as is .. this would add an intersting angle to this whole idea as there are bad things that can happen from being polymorphed.)

However I do like the idea of only hosting in one area and then giving reason for people to go to this/these areas.

That way no ones regular game play is changed much unless they want it to be .. Gives people a choice and I'm all for choices .. that is what UO was and is about.

One word. Hell no, f divinity.

[Creager]

yes, please. actually, remove them entirely

No mount mondays 4TW.

It would also be era accurate by replicating the lower pings we all had and not having to chase someone halfway across the map every fight (ala Stranger & Malice)
