I'll be honest, what is a Mount?
A mount is anything that the player can ride to travel around the game world faster.
mmmhhh, you have horses right?
so maybe you could add some carriages(it would be fun cutting down enemies with a carriage team:D) dragons? drakes? werewolves? oh and carriages can be pulled by nearly everything, even over sized rodents:D
Thanks Elffriend. Yes we have horse, tigers, an elk like creature, a rhino/gator type creature, and a two races that can covert to mounts. We also have drakes planned, and will be adding a limited amount of full dragons. We do have rodents as pets, but currently we haven't planned for any large rodents. Carry to elaborate?
sorry for taking so long in a response (i dont hunt my comments i just check my email to see if it was replied to) but usually getting cool looking mounts is quite difficult while trying to make a game interesting, i mean some things would just not look cool. while other things would make perfect sense. like have several kinds of dumb horses that barely know what to do, (mostly used by low levels and weak players) then have carriage horses that are built for strength(to pull carriages) i know my horse knowledge is VERY limited but just googleing types of horses might give you great ideas. and most defiantly have more intelligent horses that will "sense" enemies warring the player of trouble. mostly horses make sense in games, but if you can fit other stuff in the game and still make it make sense than im looking forward to it:D
Hmmm... Ive drawn lots of unique quadrupeds if you would like to see them for ideas for unique mounts. Pm me if interested.
Ok sounds good Medieval. PM'ing you know.
Sounds like you guys already have it taken care of...
How about an Ostrich?
Griffon's, Hydras, Chimeras, Snakes, Rhino's, Giraffes, Giant Platypuses, Lions/Tigers/Bears (oh my!), Elephants, Horses, Ostriches/Emus, Giant Penguins, Kangaroos, Flying Sharks.
some of those are great ideas!! elephants would be cool, or even mammoths, and IF possible Mûmak, but Mûmak might be exclusive to LOTR:(
Players able to buy properties in your world? like actually own a house, shop
Skill based system? character abilities are based on items they use, more abilities/availability when a character gets familiar with certain items. So that players won't be strictly forced to have one occupation at the time they choose it.
Player can take part to offer quests? By rewarding their own money, players can post/create quests for other player, this can increase player's interaction too
wow GREAT IDEAS i hope the devs use them:D
also i hope that there will be LOTS of different classes, each with different possibilities so that gamers would sit there thinking WHAT CLASS SHOULD I TAKE!! before deciding to play all of them, or at lest a bunch of them. since different stuff would appeal to different players, ie i like assassins(ezio style:D), mages(all mages are awesome, but i kind of prefer battle mages that can cast spells but can also fight with a sword, (ie gandalf, and DAO had a specification that let mages become battle mages if i remember right), sometimes archers(more like rangers) i dont enjoy warrior classes too much, neither do i enjoy rouge type classes. i would also enjoy a tech class. in fact that would be LOTS of fun to be able to specialize in crafting, and certain classes would have bonuses and then players could trade for specific items. ie mage makes enhanced armor piece. tech specialist makes a cool gadget that is perfect for a mage(expandable staff, or something like that) so they trade in order to gain something useful:D oh and please dont mess up the classes like SWTOR did. every class in that mmo is basically the same:( even when they are on opposite teams...
