back in 1998 at the UO world's faire here in Austin, Tx, they had a room where players could offer up ideas for game improvements.

I told the programmers that it would be neat to track how many kill shots each player got on different monsters/animals, and give varying titles based on the monsters/animals they killed at certain levels (like at 100k, 1 mill, etc.)

So I like the huntsman idea, although it still isn't as cool as my idea way back then. Of course, some of my other ideas didn't catch on either, yet (like rideable dolphins, seahorses, etc.)

It was cool when they added the seahorse statue at least.

Yr 15 mount - hmmm. Would have to see that. Doesn't sound too cool to me (but I've been wrong before).

Some other interesting changes. Kudos for the effort to Broadsword.
