That's not even a remotely similar comparison. Skill gain is so easy here that it is simply to test things such as that. Coupled with the fact that, you know, we can see the code now. In era with real skill gain challenges it would have been hard to determine whether or not those snake oil techniques worked. Testing whether your mount ran out of stamina would be easy though. Websites like askchopper, uoshack, uopros** and others would surely allow that trick to spread like wildfire, and indeed the trick is on those sites. Last time I checked, it was red-x'd on askchopper indicating that it no longer worked, but there is no way of knowing when that change took place.Stuck wrote: Just like the "word" of forge bellows raising your mining faster.

the best way to get results is by linking references to the era accuracy issue that you're raising (such as patch notes, forum posts, chat logs). they don't typically go by player memory.
if this proves to be true, it would be interesting.....
The point I was making had nothing to do with skill gain. It had to do with the fact that hearsay is unreliable. Sure, it definitely would have been harder to test those things in era. But were people even trying? or did they just accept hearsay without question? Does it even matter? The point still stands, the hearsay that was circulating was completely unreliable, yet it was heard all over. Read my post again please.MatronDeWinter wrote:That's not even a remotely similar comparison. Skill gain is so easy here that it is simply to test things such as that.

The other thing you should note, is that animals get happier each time
you command them successfully. This is why you see the odd person get
off his horse, and scream "Silver follow me" two hundred times.
Spamming the horse this way works, but is annoying for other people.
As a rule of thumb, I get off my horse about every half hour of play
and tell it to follow me 3 or 4 times. Doing this I've had my latest
horse for over a week without feeding it. Either way its still really
helpful to have some animal lore.
Bunk [PAG]
"all follow me" is a command to give full stamina to the horse
If you run fast with your horse he will be tired.. then just unmount him
say "all follow me" and remount him
That's why people say that to restam their horse
They are copied because this server is based around being era-accurate. There are many things that ended up being polished later in UO's lifetime that were not so during T2A.Rhis wrote:It was obviously a bug though...
I don't see why we need to copy the bugs from t2a, especially ones like this where there is a non-bug mechanic (feeding) that achieves the same result.
