I was just thinking today that it would be cool to name your horse. (no not names like cyberbuttseckspony)
Just something epic like gruffins or biggles :D
-
Would be nice if you could name them whatever you wanted... I would...
"Mount TS_Drznik_Castor"
Yay! =D
-
Perhaps a wordbank would work, so I chose the last option.
-
Indeed my thinking. Yes it would be fun :D
-
I like the idea of an admin approved names for horses. Where's that option.

This, and every name change to your generic horse name costs 1000 gold. BAM.

My horse has been and always will be, Cumdad and Squirtmom

I wish we could pick horse type, then style, color, name, etc. and have more choices on equipment as well.

Yes!

The different colors and styles would require in individual item in the database for each possible combination, if I remember correctly. Simply a horse name, however, is just a line of text. In that vein of thought, there's nothing stopping you from putting the name of your horse in your character names slot, or signature here on the forums. :)

Thats silly. You are obvously a girl. A horse is a tool for killing.
-
I would name my horse "chadz" :shock:
-
lol..
-
I believe "Alf" is a good name for a horse :)
-
Hmmm, it's gonna be PacMan or Rudolf 8-)
-
When would this name come up? In the death-log?
"GORETOOTH =====> Alf the Horse"
I find the death-log pretty packed already.

What a brilliant idea! I'd support the admin-approved horse name change system (A.A.H.N.C.S.).
Obviously, since you can't let the horse name itself (the ideal situation, but horses have trouble vocalising human languages, and we don't understand the subtleties of intonation and inflection in neighs and brays), we'd need some kind of horse-loving admin to look out for animal rights; to ensure that horses are named in such a way that reflects their quiet dignity and nobility. I think Braeden has volunteered, so that part is sorted!
And of course a 1000gold per name/rename system would be needed; 500 gold to pay for the naming ceremony, and 500 to compensate the horse for the stress of learning a new name.

Diomedes, who else but you could come up with this brilliant addition to the suggestion?! At first I thought your forum name was some kind of clichéd reference to one of those boring Trojan war heroes, but now I realise you are in fact Diomedes the giant, son of Ares, and owner of four man-eating horses!
Anyway, of course the names should come up in the death log (and be recorded in the server logs), for the following reasons:
1) The player who kills the most horses each month can then be awarded a gen3 heirloomed pike, and a grand title such as: 'Asshole'.
2) Horses that kill enough enemies become stronger - essentially they get a heirloom upgrade once they reach a certain quota of kills. Obviously this would have to be scaled according to the level of heirloom and type of horse.
Once they reach the fully heirloomed stage, pressing q to whistle them should only work 50% of the time, to reflect the fact that they have become arrogant and their success has gone to their heads.
3) A famous horse should get the same text when entering the server as owners of fiefs do. Not exactly the same of course - it should read 'horse *name*, slayer of 20 foes, has entered the battlefield'. Obviously this should replace any such text that the rider might normally receive.
I'm pleasantly surprised to find such an excellent suggestion in the suggestion area, well done OP!
-
The Donkey mount needs to happen so I can get one and name him chadz xD
I approve of this idea :D

I'm against admins having to approve horse names. And also against having to pay a fee for it. Why should you? Makes no sense.
Anyhow. It would've been great if you when unmounted from the horse whistles and just it would react or something. Untill you're dead it will just listen to you the owners whistles :P
(Too much work for devs?)
-
Awesome idea!
+ Yes!
Just set it so that the horsies' names show when they're running riderless, instead of "Rouncey" or "Plated Charger" or whatever. Great idea!
-
Love it. When my plated runs around unattended there is a 4% chance that'll she will get me a kill off of an enemy from bumps on the siege server.
Her name, Kalypso, and I love her so much. A.K.A plated ELEPHANT!
-
From all of the support I am getting, I'd say this is a pretty good idea! *hinthint* :wink:
-
I support this idea and also the idea of your horse only reacting to your whistles for your life duration.
