    Lightbulb Shire wagon - mobile banking and storage

    I think it would be cool for people to be able to purchase a shire wagon, for mobile storage , with "x" amount of slots that they can empty their bag into. Be able to ride their steed/warhorse with wagon attached. This may also be included in attacks and quests may be formed around it "wagon train" etc. the wagon may be damaged (for realistic action) raided, burned etc. It may be sold for TP., be usable for each character of an acct, but not transferable and also be made customizable by flags, colors,.equipment hanging and dangling (clinking cookware, prospecting tools, etc). I think it would add an additional element to the game.


    having shire wagon attached may reduce speed by "x" % . other players may not be allowed permissions unless granted such as home/kinhouse. also you could include a marker on the map of where you last "parked " it. for easy location, or use a quickslot icon to bring it into view. I believe storage should be a standard 48 extra slots to begin with, with the option of adding more space/ per Tp spent. Perhaps you can have a raffle to win a shire wagon . tp spent will earn a ticket to be one of the first ones to own a wagon with upgradable slots.

    perhaps also it can be a slotted wagon (able to use essence for defense value, etc).

    Our horses (the standard ones anyway) are already cosmetic pants. Wagon-pants can't be too far behind.

    I'm not sure about the mechanics of such a thing, OP, but anything that gives me more storage space I'm all for.

    Wagons have been suggested a lot, both as cosmetic and functional items, but this suggestion is unique, as it is rather different from most wagon ideas. /signed

    /unsigned.

    Do not be disheartened. I like the idea. It is just that warsteed combat at this moment in time is awful. It's never worked as the developers said it would. Warsteed combat is more a hindrance than getting off your steed and killing things on foot. Fury does not work as it should. Too many times I have as example had max fury while coming at an enemy to loose a shot on my Hunter's steed, only to do less than 8000 damage, when the fury I had as well as the skill in question SHOULD have done near triple that. Other times I have been motionless fighting a enemy with no player movement and hit said enemy for 23,000, with the same attack, [both times devastating criticals as well] with NO fury. Coupled to that how dire the rubber-banding can be, especially since the server consolidation event, and the general terribleness of the latest region [meaning MT can be unplayable because of reasons i mentioned...and not that MT is a poor region game wise], as WELL as the new hardware hiccups. And all of that means LOTRO is not READY for another aspect to the warsteed pat of the game.

    Maybe when the new servers are working right, they lesson the amount of rubber-banding, and work out WHY fury does not work as it is supposed to, will I be up for them adding something more. But not until that day.

    I would probably purchase wagon-pants for role play, with or without the storage. Maybe wagons could be implemented as cosmetic pets? That would prevent griefers from wagon blocking quest givers and such.

    Brilliant...I love it. BUT can it be sacked by burgs, when you leave it somewhere? You'll need to have trailer parks maybe it can come with its own horse and driver who acts as a guard while it parked
