animal control:

Are you planning on implementing pets that can help you in fights for any or all of the classes?
With enough knowledge and skill you will be able to (try to) control & tame various creatures (possibly as a class). Whether the system will be old-school or not is up to you to decide. This is something we will have in our game for sure. We hope to make it balanced enough so it works in both PVE and PVP.

Mounts:
There will be some different interesting mounts in MO for example the 2 mounts you see in the teaser, more details on mounts will come later.
Fighting on mounts is really fun in Mortal Online, as we play it today it changes to third person view when on mount to get a better control when fighting from mount. What I can add on this is that Mount and blades inspired us on some aspects when fighting on mounts. Our vision is also that your mount can get damage when you are riding it in combat, it may even die if not taken care of. Being able to steal mounts is also something we are discussing.

Will you be able to pickpocket a mount?
The mounts will be vulnerable to pick-pocketing, meaning you can steal from their saddlebags and such.

Will you be able to summon mounts?
The mounts won't be "pocketable", i.e. you can't put your mounts in your pocket. You could argue that there are spells/scrolls you can tweak to get a similar effect (i.e. Raise Steed), but for that to work you'll need a dead horse or such. But that's more of a special case.

will there be flying mounts?
I can't answer that right now.

can you eat your mount?
Theoretically yes. If you kill your horse, you can get its meat. And you can eat horse meat.

Are you planning on implementing mounted combat?
Yes. here Will be archery & magic mounted combat. We also have weapons only usable on certain Mounts.

are mounts race specific?
No. But I can think of a few examples where you could argue that they are - as being able to ride a mount depends on size, mentality and skill set of both mount and rider.
