The best mount idea I ever seen on a shard was this:
Every horse was almost unique.. The color of each horse spawn was random between a light brown hue, to a dark brown (other "real horse" colors could be added too), almost like in real life. It was difficult to find 2 equal horses.
Beside that there were random spawns, as in.. when a horse spawned, it could be of that hue range (kinda like 50 different colors), and it could be 1 special color (the called Mustangs). This is easy to do on RunUO as far as I remember. On the normal horse spawners, just make it a chance of spawning 1 mustang.. Some spawns may never spawn a mustang in the shard life.. People have to actually go around the world, tame normal horses when they want, or kill them, or whatever, and from time to time a special Mustang appears in the middle of the forest![Tongue Tongue](https://in-uo.net/forums/images/smilies/tongue.png)
Anyway, if the staff and the players still like the idea of the fix spawns, you can do that dungeon things. It seems interesting and challenging![Smile Smile](https://in-uo.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.png)
The way I see it works now seems to me a bit unfair... I played on IN2, and the fixed spawns were so easy to control it wasn't even a challenge.
The server population cannot find the spawns, when 90% of the time they were tamed already by 10 players that control it daily
