Want to add a bit of variety to your vanity mount collection? This majestic creature hails from mysterious origins and uses its attractive tail feathers to show off its beauty! The look of this creature was heavily inspired by one of our Japanese players, Eowyn. We hope you appreciate beautiful birds as much as Eowyn. Get your Eowmu from the Ultima Store today!

It's so small I can't see what it is....is it a peacock thing? It doesn't look so much like an emu. I have only one question....Charger style or Windrunner style? I refuse to pay that much for a non-ethy type statuette. The Charger of the Fallen is the precedent set here. :(

Farewell y'all.

2 castles falling once subs run out in Minoc and Ice Isle. (both Tram) and filled with 20 years worth of rares, bods and other goodies.
*mumbles about how they turned UO into Rift.....bikinis next and school uniforms.....grumbles*
:arr::arr::cursing:

Guess we just thrown the UO lore book out the back window once and for all now?
:facepalm:

Oh thanks for the video, it's not much like the original picture, it looked almost robotic in the store pic. I guess that's just the statue. The tail is crazy big!

Oddly bland coloration on the body. Kinda neat if you're into that sort of thing.

Is it an ethy? I wish they'd make an ethy option for the store mounts.

Doubt it, it makes more sense for them to get you to stuff your stable slots with vanity mounts then charge you for extra stable slots.
Coldly logical, but discounts stealthers. I have a character that would ride one, but she already has a Rainbow Dash-- uh, Lasher, that seldom leaves the stable because she is a stealther.

The coloration is not what I would expect either. Hm.

Is there a more masculine version coming ? So far all 3 mounts they released are very wimpy weak looking pets

Hehe, nice try.
I did say back in that Phoenix thread that if they released a Turkey mount then i'd be going.
Timing is coincidental though as I was already down sizing ready to turn accounts into EJ.
I no longer like the direction a certain person is taking the game and frankly i'm done with Broadsword.

Gonna let the Ice Castle drop so they can have some fun with it and the Minoc one i'm gonna see if a certain group of "meeting dwellers" wants it and its contents first. ;)
I'll still stalk the forums but to be honest, I think my UO days are done.

This...bird...isn't my cup of tea either. It's confusingly both too colorful and not colorful enough. :confused:

I also think they need to release the vanity mounts as ethys, I just don't want to deal with a live mount.

I do like the way it moves though.

I liked the windrunner except the red toenails...but I wouldn't want anything that doesn't work like a Charger, but still costs the same. I don't play a tamer for a reason! :oops:

So can anyone "fill in the blanks"...
Where did this "bird" come from in the realms of Ultima Lore? I've never heard of it before....??

Just gonna leave that there...
Wark! Oh god. Now i got that music stuck in my head again. I stayed up for 72 hours straight breeding and racing Chocobos in FF7 when i was a kid. For the next week, i heard that music in my head.
You know when they finally release the FF7 remake, i'm gonna have to eat up all my vacation time. They're releasing it in parts though :(

Someone got it on LS before me. darn

I have to decide which toon needs one. Maybe my Trick or Treat toon.

The players that came to see it had nothing bad to say about it. They like the tail movement.

It's...interesting....

The head looks more like a rabbit though and the legs are too dark.

It's close though...and an interesting animal choice for a mount.

Personally, I don't think it looks bad or anything... I just wish the Devs would put this much effort into fixing the things that the players dislike, instead of adding stuff like this to the UO-store.

I mean, if the Quality of product was better (which is what most of the players want) they'd have more potential customers for things like this... priorities needs straightened out.

I bet if they made it so you couldn't be dismounted while ridin in PVP they would sell a lot of them :gee:

Except you are wanting action from the developers/programmers, this was the work of the artists with minimal work by the developers. People have been asking for a new vanity mount and they gave.

I dont have a problem with things like this being added in the game.

It's just coincidence that I posted that in this particular thread.

I'm referring to the broader picture, not specifically to this one item. there are several examples of additions to the UO store that require more action on the devs/programmers than it does from the artist.
most recent would be the Vault/System as an example.

I never said I had a problem with it (Though, I can see how one would think otherwise, based on my wording), if people buy it, good.

It doesn't change the fact that there are far more important issues that people have already quit playing over.

I guess the problems can be moved to the side until after the holiday content though. (again)

I guess I just don't understand the name, why is it implied that it's based on an emu when it's clearly a peacock...does the artist not know the difference? If the tail stayed closed it would look okay, I can only see it getting in the way while open like that.

What amazes me is, they don't have time for simple code fixes to High Seas, but someone has the time to shat out things like this or new colored hair dyes.

Don't quit! I'm sure this is the beginning of the introduction to our newest 'mini-game"! Breeding these with the new Phoenix to have a chance of hatching the old phoenix!

Of course, the necessary supplies will be in the store for 1000 sovereigns...

The look of this creature was heavily inspired by one of our Japanese players, Eowyn

Éowyn is a fictional character in Tolkien's legendarium who appears in his most famous work, The Lord of the Rings

Literally translated, Eowyn means "Horse joy", or joy from horses

I guess it should have been a horse???

I get the "EO" part from Eowyn....
