It would be nice if basic riding skills would be a little bit more available.
For instance i dont see a problem with mages being able to ride a horse with a
saddle on it. Not only is this realistic ( i mean come on, in medieval
societies, everyone who could afford it knew how to ride cause this was the
only method of travel) and also, its just pretty practible now that the
outerworld is so fucking huge. Seriously is it so fun to travel to an area
and spend 20 mins idle regenning eps? I would propose that animals should run
out of eps just like humans do but would regen a lot faster and would be able
to cover a lot wider area. Also i think mounts maybe should be restricted in
their speed of crossing some terrain, like horses might have to go a lil
slower over hills....

As far as magic carpets thats a fucking horrible idea. That kinda thing is
just turbo powered and should be reserved for high level players, and in fact
such eq already exists in the game. You whiny noobie bitch! Go explore!
(sorry last part should have been in flame :DD)

My 2 cents
