Firedog (don't ask where the fire comes out) is starting to mumble about
changes in stabling, like raising the prices for dragons. WTF, if it goes
to 1000 a week we will just have to kill more. That's no solution.
The one I do like is hitching post addons for houses. Keep dragon at home
where it can keep the homefires burning. But this has problems too.

wood and carpenters, or mines and smiths on a regular basis. Most make far
more than that per hour in UO, so could easily afford it.
And some poeple actually *want* OSI to put in more money-sinks. :-)

it. They crush a lich in about 3-6 seconds and can just about clean out an
Orc spawn in 15.

Couldn't we just have an add-on based on the 'containment unit' from
Ghostbusters... pop your tamed beasties in there, and just yank the handle

No shit, tamed dragons = free gold. I don't see this aspect of it
being a huge problem on the normal shards, where gold is easy to come
by, but on SP it's caused something of a fundamental imbalance in the
economy. Most players need to burn stuff like reagants or bandages
or whatever in order to clean out a monster spawn, but a tamer with a
dragon or two can do it without any comparable risk or investment of
resources.

is that it would add something to your item count. As it is, stablehands
are capable of holding anywhere from 30-40 pets at any given time.
Also, stabling a packhorse or pack llama currently allows you to store
whatever is in the animal, and retrieve it safely at a later date. This
would mean more item count additions to the houses, and free storage of
stuff up to the limit of the pack times the amount of animals you would be
able to stable in your house.
I'm not sure if this also holds true for dragons carrying loot, although I
believe you can get them to 'drop' their loot, and they can even collect it
off of corpses for you too.
Stabling definitely would need to be reworked in regards to creatures with
carrying capacity of any kind, and a lot of people would probably not like
what they'd change, therefore OSI aren't going to visit it anytime soon, at
least IMHO.
Oh, and check out my first (probably rather bad) attempt at a homepage. :-)

close to a year.
IIRC, problem was some people were using summoned daemons to 'fetch' things
inside of locked houses and break in. OSI disabled the feature. Funny thing
is I just don't understand why they disabled the drop command vs the get.
Makes absolutely no sense to me since it was everything *BUT* the drop
command that let them break in. The drop only works for tamable monsters
like drakes that carry loot, but the get command has an auto drop associated
with it as soon as the pet reaches you.

Stabling has always allowed for extra semi secure storage. Buy a pack horse
for ~700 gold, load them up with 400 stones worth of loot and stable them.
Of course you would lose this if someone killed the stable master or left
the pack horse there for a week. As far as I know, they still haven't
changed this, but I have to double check.

and with high enough skills, dragons of different colors.
And nightmares in colors, too. How about one that's pink and purple
stripes? That's a horse of another color.
