And the reverse isn't true for humans? If we even make it to GK on one mount, which you can't, then we are really hagg. I remount at gap patty and usually hag 1e 1s of pond in blight. Its happened that much that I remember..

And then you have roughly an extra 150 moves you can instantly get just by dismounting your horse to chase that extra bit into the keep to finish off the trolloc, who probably by that point doesn't have the moves to make it into Murash's room, meanwhile your horse is regenerating it's moves there if things don't go so well for you in the keep.

you say we have horses and can hop hop hop and then run run run, but the fact that ds kills all the freaking horse loads every pk makes it not so simple. i dont know how many times ive entered fd stables to see all the dang horses dead, then i have to go buy a warhorse, which is not a problem, but then someone logs on a char who has no gold and then he/she doesnt have a horse and then you have to buy them one. well in pk your horse haggs chasing/running and you have no remount because all the horse loads are dead so you have to run on foot or chase on foot. if you chase on foot then the trolloc is long gone and now you sit like a duck hagg in n blight. if you run, you get into fd and have no horse again. so you have to go buy another warhorse because you cant get to the one outside and most of times it dies also. then your friend who had just logged on ditched his horse too and because he doesnt have any gold, you gotta buy him a horse too. now the process just repeats over and over because horses are a pile. i want a goat like otar so i can NEAH! in pk and then run.
