I was just reminiscing about some of UO's past and one of the highlights for me was taming mares in terrathan keep. My first GM tamer was on Sonoma maybe 4 years ago; I remember the good ole days of taming mares at the keep, in the "pit." Basically it was one of the most action-packed endeavors I can remember. One basically had to run nonstop with invisibility precast and make their way down to the pit, all the while avoiding a crap load of ophidians, drakes and a dragon. Then, depending on if you were lucky, find the coveted mare to tame. There were a variety of tricks that developed to faciliate this process (safe spots to teleport to, blocking of creatures, etc.), but deaths were a plenty in one's quest for the (once) almighty mare. At one point and for a while, the spawn of mares was dismal and they were rare as rare (as a rare should be). I remember having a ghost camped there and, likewise, other folks did to and you would have some fun times conversing o'er the quest for the precious mare.
