An erdlu can run long enough to get to any of the good resting spots.

Exactly, and let us not forget that there are different types of erdlu, with some possessing definitively noticeable differences in stamina.

Then think of it this way instead, if it'll help you wrap your mind around the playability issue that Talia has already explained:

It _really_ only costs 2 sids to stable an erdlu, and only 6 sids to stable an inix, and only 5 sids to stable a war beetle, in the opposing cities. So the stablemasters are profiting big-time, but erdlu riders are exploited more because they THINK they're getting off cheap.


I like thinking of it this way. I'm also a fan of the "It might not be the same inix/erdlu/whatever if you leave it in for so long" mentality.

Isn't an easier explanation that the brutish half giant might be mistreating your mount?

If you make HG stabling cost more, even fewer HGs will be willing to play stupid when you scam them.

If you make things more expensive, more players will just do dumb gold-farming stuff to pay for it.

It's okay to confuse an erdlu's walking speed for running.   ;D

Hah, true.

Considering 20 sid is 1/5 of alot of peoples monthly salary, nobody would ride inix or beetles if they cost more at all except Noble houses or others with their own stables.

If you read the documentation, that's who it says -does- ride inix. They're supposed to be expensive. But on that same note, having cheaper erdlu fees and all that would give some reason to use other mounts.

Well now that's a line of reasoning I can get into.

Erdlu's and beetles 15 'sids

Them nearly useless Sunbacks and Sunlons,10 'sids.

Erdlu = 10
Ox/Beetle/Sunback/Sunlon = 20
Inix = 30

I'd be down for that.

I would probably put beetle with erdlu and make it 15, 25, 40.
I've always thought 20 was bad cheap, that's like.... one swallow of water.

I don't think this would impact the game in any significant way and don't really see a point in bothering with it.

I think it would if the prices changed more than 5 coins, maybe instead of a 5 coin decrease with erdlu, they'd be 5 coins to stable, and inix would be 60. I think it would make a great difference that way.

I think this is all that would happen if anything.

You can do this backwards and achieve the same results...

Erdlu: 5
Mid-Range Beetles/beasts: 10
Inix: 20

All of a sudden hiring mercenaries and handling hirelings fees for their mounts/even hiring other
PC's gets easier. Gas just got cheaper in a sense, unless they're on inix.

Oh, well in that case, I'll go back to the more reasonable focus of raising an dwarven army to dig Steinal up.
