<p>I am noticing on test that when I run backwards, I run slower now than when I run forward. It's never been this way . . . why change now, after 5 years? Yeah, I know, realistically it's impossible to run as fast backwards as you do forwards . . . but if I wanted realism, I'd cancel my account and spend my time in RL . . .THEN I think, "Wait a minute, let me get on my carpet!" And sure enough . . . slow going backwards on that too. That TOO never had a penalty moving backward, which is why I always chose and preferred the non-animal mounts to the animal ones. See, now I can understand the animal mounts not moving as fast backward if you're looking for "realism" . . . but it's a flying frikkin' carpet! It should be able to move the same speed in ANY direction if you're going for realism! And if you want "balance" . . . well that's not realistic now either, is it. Realistically NOTHING is "balanced" in the world . . . otherwise we'd ALL be independently wealthy and own robot slaves who'd do everything our hearts desired . . . that is, until they kill us all and take over . . . but meh . . . everything would be balanced out then, too.</p><p>Bring back our original backwards movement speeds! ESPECIALLY on carpets, disks, or any other non-animal type conveyance! </p><p>- Charn</p><p>P.S. - And SINCE it's a "flying frikkin' carpet" . . . at LEAST give it the ability to "skim" over water so we don't have to swim it if we don't want to. </p><p>P.P.S. - And yeah, I know all the old zones are just "movie sets", i.e. they're only made to be looked at at a certain angle and viewpoint or the realism is gone and you can see all the "unfinished" work behind the set, so that's probably ONE of the reasons why you don't implement flying mounts, but you CAN design any NEW zone with flying mounts in mind . . . and make them unusable in the older zones . . . (Okay, so my cousins play WoW (I've TRIED to convert them . . . but they have Macs . . . and Sony doesn't support Mac play) and I was flying around on their flying mount and dear GOD it was AWESOME!!! That almost (almost, mind you) makes me wanna try that game out) . . . just think about it, will yas? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" /></p>
