Ulver's post about the cost and effect of rented mounts was a bit confusing to

He failed to mention that the mule cost 5,000 gold. It's dirt cheap. He also
failed to mention that you could rent one all day for 250 gold, which is even
cheaper. He seems honestly surprised that something that costs so little has
such a minimal effect. Perhaps his opinion would be different if he was lvl 30
or so, the low-level range that the mules were originally intended for, where
the extra space at lower cost would be much proportionally beneficial. The
players that would rent or buy mules are probably the ones that still do their
armor/weapon shopping from the Arelium stores, i.e. the newer and poorer
players.
Well, if mules indeed have "100 str" (not that I have any idea what that means
mount-wise in this game), then why is it not possible to ride a mule as a
representative of Human race? Humans, as per typical fantasy game lore, are
similarly the "average" all-around race in BatMUD. It seems strange to me,
that human would be too big to ride a mule, even that Jesus guy from the
world's most popular storybook did it!

I dont remember Jesus riding a mule. It was his mum who rode the donkey iirc.

12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard
that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went
forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that
cometh in the name of the Lord. 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass,
sat thereon; as it is written, 15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King
cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 16 These things understood not his disciples
at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these
things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. 17
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his
grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. 18 For this cause the people
also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 19 The
Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing?
behold, the world is gone after him.
