this is a load of ****. people have been playing UO since 1997 bro, you think people had great pings on dial up? my ping is 150+ regularly, sometimes even around 300, it's not even the factor it used to be any more though. what's the difference between mounted and not mounted when pings involved. everyone is still locked into the same run speed, its not like you're going to be trying to outrun mounted players on foot. this argument is nonsensical. if your ping is 500 or some **** now it's not going to be any worse whether you're on a horse or not.

I have been playing Uo since 1998 I don't need to think or assume anything, I was there.
Adsl (not much performing I have to say, often as bad as dial-up) and cables existed (along with other tecnologies you never heard about) already and even ISDN could bring you down to 45-50 ping if the shard was located in the same continent, I could say not much changed for Uo players since then. having a decent ping in another continent it's STILL an issue.
I have no idea what's your ping or how is your connection but everyone knows that mounts put you on a disavantage if your ping is above 150 (maybe even 120), which is more or less what euro players ping here at their best, (Asians and Australians/Neo Zeeland players even worse).
It's well know if your ping is hight you operate better on foot this is the reason why Ipy have no mounts on first place.
I 'm sorry you were not aware of all this.

also it's just going to be all the sweeter when all you nerds saying "no never" do check out the new lands. maybe i should screenshot this page for when it happens. i think i will!

When you have nothing to add to the conversation it might be a good idea to stop typing.
