That will never happen with the influx of new players wanting mounts.

So...10 people start regnum this week...1 can buy xim...due to whatever reason...not really good economics...

I'm all for making battles last longer, but just how many people are going to log off because they are in realm after a reset, the main war party is at a fort miiiles away, they all die..and the one's left with no horse, are pissed cos they missed the action...again...

like today...Tenax..i seen more of the road running back from VS that the actual dragon..poinltess.

As some others already mentioned there will be continuous sales from horses because each character would need one. That makes quite a few horses and also for each new character.

Also it is kind of pointless to say that mounts will be removed due to lack of sales because quite a lot of people who have xim did not buy mounts as they were easily obtainable with in game gold.

Also there has been a time where there were no gold buyable mounts before but only temporary xim mounts. I did not buy mounts back then and still was able to do all that boring running for quests on my Ra conj back then.

Xim only mounts fits perfectly into the business model for ngd (paying for saving time) although of course I liked the gold buyable ones.

Permanent ones do have a big advantage now because they are just always there and I guess I would have bought a permanent one even if gold buyable ones were still available.

As for how much this affects balance is another story that adds to lucky boxes, gem crafting premium etc... and is a bit worrysome.
But then items only make a difference when skills are equal and since I play like crap it does not really make much of a difference for me

May I suggest that temporary horses still be made available to players, for gold? That way, a pretty important part of the game isnt' dependant upon ximerin or class superiority (those who have ximerin to buy the only horses available, or classes that have speed boosts). Those with no speed in wz will be the most frequently targeted and the last to arrive for war zone activities, caue everyone else will have already been there.

This is still supposed to be a free-to-play game, remember.

So if, before the update, i already had a 30 day horse bought with xermin...what happens to it?
Is that now mine forever or will it vanish and i have to buy another?

Exactly, mages have NO mobility at all, horses are the only way to get around, I think the way this update has been made is to make battles last longer, but in reality, it just excludes slower classes..a little unfair , and +1 to brother brian on his 'free to play ' comment, i ve spent xim on this game, but wont be spending anymore till horses are back for all, even lower the cost, 5k or 7k gold per 24 hours...

Just a note for people who have premium mounts before the update.
Why should you be able to keep the mount forever? after all when you payed
it was for a RENTAL not to buy outright.

You may all disagree but put it another way

I buy a house for 100 000 (i wish at that price)
4 months later the property value drops by 20 000
What are my chances of getting the 20k back?

OR

I buy a new tv set and a week later the same store has a special offer,
selling the same tv but now with a free dvd player. Would i get the free dvd player?

The answer to the 2 above is unlikely and no (obviously)

Or i rent a house for a year at 300 a month. I then get chance to buy the house.
Would i be refunded the rent? No as the house at that time was not mine

So to be honest your chances of getting the mount pre update for ever isnt very high
i think. This isnt something anyone should really complain about.

Pretty much any company in the world would refuse. Also technically the mounts are
now a different product, as before they were rental items, now they are not
