"I'm sorry, my stables are full..."
Barry Smith
I was wondering why this function needs to be in UO? You buy a horse or
llama to help with your manual labors only to be told that there's no
place to shack the pet-friend. Anyone got any other ideas for keeping
pets safe and wander-free? Thanks.
BTW, wouldn't the removal of said restriction BOOST the game economy by
having more people stable their faithful steeds and thus pay more into
the economy? Just a thought....Later.

the stables and left them there. This dragged the servers into the ground,
thus the restrictions.

It would if the game economy was actually player driven. However
because the current world depends on resource respawns it really can't
work that way.

Get a dagger with deadly poison on it and kill the stablemaster. A
new one will respawn in a few minutes and he'll have PLENTY of room at
the ol' inn.

animals caused unbearable lag. It's better this way.

I think they should change it so you can only stable mountable pets
and pack animals. The rest should have to stay outside.

I'd sooner shoot the pope than kill a stablemaster.

Why should I have to let my horse go wild so you can stable 20 bears
and 30 wolves? I know tamers who amass legions of critters and stable
them all. I know one guy who's got over 80 creatures stabled in the
T2A areas.

Why should I lose 20 bears and 30 wolves just you can stable one
horse?
I use the stables in Skara'. They are never full. From what I can
tell, the only stables that fill-up are ones near mines. i.e. they
are full of packhorses and pack llamas, not bears and wolves.
Barring a few weird exceptions, of course.

THAT has always seemed strange to me, no stables for the horses we use to
travel.... Ahg man I forgot everyone RECALLS around!! ;)

Oh. Didn't know that. How about restricting it to horses and llamas only
then? Or only a certain number of horses of llamas per player? Ideas
only.

There are things more valuable than horses and llamas. More
stablemasters in the mining towns and stables in ALL of the towns
would solve these problems.

When I tried stabling my horse last night in Skara all three
stablemasters were full. After waiting awhile I finally got a spot
for him there; I certainly wasn't going to put him in Britain or
another city. Wasn't Skara supposed to be a city of rangers? It
should have more than 3 guys to leave your animals with.

Get out!
I've had 30+ bears stabled there and never found the place full.
>It should have more than 3 guys to leave your animals with.
There are at least four. One stands *behind* the stables and likes to
wander out into the woods.

That explains why I can't find a damn spot for my one horse.

I couldn't find him last night, though I have seen him a couple
times. Probably got killed by a crazed llama. The other day in
Vesper the tailors at the shop across from the blacksmith disappeared
too. It's some kind of conspiracy against me.

Oh, I don't have them there *now*. I was saving them up for a Bear
Parade.
The stables are probably full of horses from T2A now.

Stableowners have a per-player limit and a total limit on animals held.
Trouble is, a handful of players can still monopolize stable space.
They should a) require pack animals to be empty when stabled, to prevent
their use as extra vault space, and b) put a _global_ per-player limit on
stabling, so everyone will have stable space.
