You need to present a lot more info to aid in troubleshooting. What race are you? What is the pet? What does your formation look like? Are you sure it is currently following you?

how comes my merc cant mount pets. Is this a bug?


Not every pet is a mountable pet.

Also, Dulrik is right. You need to provide details here. Actually, you can take this as a life lesson. When dealing with techie people (like Dulrik), one sure-fire way to draw their ire is tell call attention to a problem you have without giving any details on said problem. Let me give you an example of a good way to call attention to a problem.

"I am not able to mount a heavy, stately camel purchased from Nerina. My character is an expert level human mercenary. I first noticed this problem on December 7th, at 1:34pm. Here is a log of me trying to mount it, showing the message I received from the game when I tried...

<log enclosed>"

One improvement on Opey's example is to explicitly give the name of your character. Then I can pull it over to the test mud in an attempt to exactly reproduce the circumstances of the bug.

Human trying to mount a camel from zhengi or whatever. Are these camels too small, or am I too fat?

I suspected it was one of the camels. They are no longer a mountable pet. The reason is a but complicated. When pets are created, they "purchase" certain abilities on a point system. I should say that the creator purchases these abilities for the pet. The pets only have a certain amount of points with which to purchase these abilities.

It gets more complex, but for now just know that not every pet is equal in all ways. Some will tank better. Some will fly, some will be mounts, ect.

Guys anytime someone named Troll King posts a question, the first assumption should probably be that they're yanking your chain.
