We all know that poor horses have handled more than their share of schlepping around MMO players over the years. We also know that there are only so many different types of horses that developers can, erm, trot out as travel options. So it is completely understandable that devs might look to other animals and even machines as alternate mounts.
Some of these make sense — some, but not all. I don’t think that any plus-sized fox is going to be able to carry a heavily armored warrior, nor do I suspect that jumping on the back of a pterodactyl — as awesome as it looks — would actually result in anything other than eyes getting pecked out and fed to its young. Some are annoying or just wrong for the game in a way that’s hard to describe.
So with our eyes on not-so-great mounts, which one mount would you completely eliminate from your MMORPG forever if you had that power?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
