New bots rule: NO HORSES pls!

[Entropy]

I do not want the trade bots or storage bots to go on horses. This is very annoying, because:

1. They cover stuff (other bots, entrances, etc.)

2. They require slightly more bandwidth to be sent to everyone seing them.

3. More video card processing is needed for that.

 

I am making an exception for Gossip, because it is a community bot used by almost everyone, but that's it.

Will there be a refund of the money spent buying the horse for the Bot? or perhaps a replacement? for those who paid for a horse for their bot before the rule came into effect.

 

thank you

Counts for guildmap guardbots as well?

Guard bots, being on their own maps, can use horses. Pet ants no.

 

 

 

However, horse gets lost if there's an attack, so if the bot gets into a battle, the horse is gone. (A situation noted in the same thread.) You can put the guard bot on a horse, keeping him on one is a different matter.

Well, Its always better to have clear statement when it comes to rules - especially new ones.

 

Our bot isn't too busy actually. He could sit on the horse for months, after using just one whistle
