The Mount system has become an essential feature for most MMOs
in today's market.
Conquer Online, a
renowned Chinese style MMO, has also introduced its
own mount system in the latest expansion - Raiding Clans.
Players can breed various types of mounts and
ride them headlong through the vast continents of mythological
ancient China. So what can these trusty
mounts do for you in this virtual MMO universe? Below I would
like to list a few instances.
1. Allow you to visit some rural places
Travelling in the vast world of an MMO, it is tiring to just
depend on your bare feet. However, with a
vigorous steed, you can cruise on the continent and access some
truly splendid landscapes and uncharted
dungeons that few people have seen before.
2. Help you escape from vicious enemies
Encountering various monsters is part of everyday life in an
MMO. When you are trapped by a flock of
frantic apes during an adventure, don't be scared. Just summon
your trusty steed! They will help their
master retreat safely from the dangerous region.
3. Create romantic scenarios for masters
When you are chasing a girl (or guy, for you ladies), a gorgeous
mount could be equal to a brand new
Ferrari in real life. Imagine you and you lover riding to the
summit of a mountain together under the
shiny moonlight. How romantic!
4. The symbol of your statue
In a fantasy MMO, mounts are not merely a transportation tool.
On the contrary, mounts are the symbols
of a players' status in game. From mounts, you can easily
distinguish low-ranked newbies and experienced
veterans.
5. Show off the power of your guild
Compared to a lone rider, a whole cavalry of warriors is much more
menacing! Through a horse riding
parade, a guild can demonstrate its dominative power to the
whole player community!
What do you think about your mounts in game?
