I finally found something I wish they hadn't done!
For over a year now we've had home villages that were "mount free" zones. Personally, I never felt the need to ride through my home town perched upon my horse, and in fact, I enjoyed the fact that we all walked from inn to bank to NPC merchant to TS instance when we were at home.
All that changed recently when SOE changed the coding to allow "horses at home"! Navigating inside the bank has now become a chore due to the crowds of horses and carpets and also due to the increased lag derived from all the extra animated models to be drawn. (Horses in the banks was one of the little things that always bugged me in EQ1 as well!)
It's not like it's a game breaker for me or anything, I just wish thay hadn't given us this "upgrade". Or, (parish the thought), that players had enough courtesy to dismount before they entered the bank.
