I would really like it if you would not automatically dismount your pet when it runs out of PE. |

It was meant to be changed so you got a nice colored message for it. I for one would rather dismount than be trapped in combat because my mount ran out of PE. |

Why not just have an auto dismount option, yes means you auto dismount, no means you dont. |

It's a great idea, but Dulrik might have other things that are a bit more pressing on his list. I think this came up the last time we had a discussion about leaving mounts behind, but I can't remember what was said. |

I said that it would be very complicated to get that to work because I only check to see if your mount can move after you have already moved. Movement involves some pretty ugly code that has caused more than its fair share of crashes and infinite loops in the past. I don't really want to go to the effort that would be involved to rework the system and then debug it all over again. |

I revel here in my ignorance, but leave the system exactly as it is. Except at the point when the mount would currently be left you have a simple check... if auto is on then your movement is nullified and you get a message "Your mount is too tired to continue." If it is off, then it acts exactly as it does now. |

It's not as simple as you are making it sound. As I said, at the point you are talking about, you have already moved, as well as an undefined number of the people who are following you. You have to account for every variation of group leaders and followers, all of which could have mounts, any of which might be player griffons or centaurs who are following someone independently of their rider. Even one small mistake in this code will cause the game to crash. So, again, no. |

Never thought about the group thing... only thought about the person and their mount. Ah, well... |

Yeah, neither did I. Okay, nvm. |
