Lord Ser Brightblade Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 No mounts ridden? That is a bit extreme.... You will not see Thomas there much. Bright sure due to his steed being ethereal but Heph and Thomas never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisaac Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think that if you are speaking of pet and mount LAWS then the following will be proper: First, as pets do the bidding of their masters, I think that (living) pets can walk with their masters and stay close to them, but there could be a limitation to the pets as some pets (as drakes, dragons, rune beetles...) can disturb the peace by their mere presence, after all there are citizens not accustomed to monsters like those. Second, for mounts and pets, they should stay close to their masters and can be ridden everywhere but should be left to stay outside buildings their owner enters, caring not to leave them on the road (addition to "disorderly conduct") Another thing is Recall/Gate/Sacred journey. Any specific reason for the prohibition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Another thing is Recall/Gate/Sacred journey. Any specific reason for the prohibition? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you wait til you're outside the city (preferably at least a full screen away from the gates) then you create MUCH more opportunity for rp interaction within the city. Also, if other guilds will follow this guideline as well it creates specific areas where you can expect to encounter roleplayers if you wait long enough (especially the city gates) and an opportunity to play out a realistic city defense if the need arises. If people are recalling/gating in and out of the city you wont have any clue where/when they'll be and will most likely miss out on any opportunity to roleplay with them.

Chris Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Rather than being an in-character law, I think the recalling/gating thing should be an out of character addition to the codex and should be requested of the guilds we interact with as well in the interest of encouraging more opportunities to rp. (For instance, if it's an in-character law we can count on guilds such as Und to violate it all the time. If it were an out of character guideline I could see them following it for the most part so that they can have a bit more of a challenge and more actual interaction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisaac Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) Roleplaying is a good reason! I trust our leaders to engage in a dangerous campaign of diplomatic negotiations to add this rule to all roleplaying guilds. Also if it is in the codex, for OOC as stated, maybe one place can be a "haven" from the rule for those who would like an instant bank or something alike... can be Haven...

Though I think the law should say something about mounts in buildings other than ones such as thestables and perhaps military related (in times gone horses actually were ridden into many military buildings).

Recalling to a point by the road about a screen away from the west Trinsic gate would allow quick and easy access to a bank (especially since you'll probably be riding a mount if you're in a hurry anyway). Another quick option would be to recall to a moongate and go to Luna since the moongate there is right by the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
