UO Second Age

I recently just joined the shard, made a miner to get some early start up cash. Bought a packhorse and found out he can only carry 400 stones... Now I am told this is T2A era accurate but it depends what part of T2A... I believe this was updated before any other expansion came out, and really at the end of the day a packhorse that can only carry 400 stones is 100% useless... Why not make them the way they were for the latter part of T2A (I think this was around 1000 stones or so..)

it was increased from 400 stones in 2000, so after our time frame.

You have infinite followers.

Just make one pack-horse follow another pack-horse until you have a big line of them. Inifnite carrying capability.

Money is the problem, I could supply you with 10 pack horses tho! For the lulz!

So why not change it is what I'm asking? As is they are completely useless...

Do you understand the pointl of this shard? not trying to be mean, but era-accuracy is sort of the whole thing.

they're pretty good for training stealing

not to mention if you take them hunting with you, you can hunt for longer before banking!

This shard has a set "era" that they try to emulate. There won't be changes just to "improve the efficiency of things". There are plenty of other aspects of the game that are "useless" (if all you care about is productivity), such as the skill Spirit Speak, items milk and water, etc. Sure, you can make Spirit Speak give boost to spell damage, give milk/water boost to mana regeneration (just ideas off my head), but this isn't a custom shard. We also have dud weapons like clubs and pitchforks that nobody uses because there are krysses and quarterstaffs. Get my point? You can also question why they're here but that's just the way things are (or were).

I see how you'd want changes to the packhorse as you are a miner, but again it's the way things were. There won't be changes just to benefit a certain playstyle.
