Thread: Mounting a fish

Mounting something in the sea would be nice

Not at all what I thought this thread was going to be about. Not at all.

...walks away, shaking his head in confusion, mumbling about taxidermists.....

Also, no.

.... In before someone asks for flying fish mounts.

Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. Even if it wasn't the intention.

Can't tell if trolling..

This is most ridiculous idea I have ever heard! Using a fish as a mount would require the riding skill?! Of course there would have to be a new quest when swimming with the fishes had to be learned in order to do it.

NOTE: This post is meant to be humorous.

I still want a seahorse for waterworks/evendim.

Impossible...no seahorse would set fin into moria...

I can't decide between the shark model:



and the manta model:



But either way, Evendim here I come!

I must admit I like the 400% sea horse mount in WoW in addition to the whole underwater zone of Vash'jir. But an underwater mount is pointless when there is no underwater swimming in LOTRO. Besides, what would you do underwater?

Hahaha! Seriously the most ludicrous thread I've seen. If you want to mount a fish, grab your fishing pole and head to a lake somewhere. But seriously, there isn't even enough water in middle earth to warrant a swimming mount.

I was going to mention Rift and how it has water combat as well as exploration... and its very cool! ... But, also knowing that this would never come to LOTRO.

Now, having seen your models, I'm certain its a money maker to put fishy mounts in the store

1,995 TP for the tortuise.
2,995 TP for the dolphin.
4,995 TP for the shark.
10,995 TP for the jetski.

1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 chance of any of these dropping in game when its both nighttime and also a solar eclipse is occurring.

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you

What, you don't like the Beatles?

Dammit. I came into this thread hoping it was a serious thread about mounting trophy fish for display in your house (so I could draw a MSPaint cartoon of a guy riding a fish). Come to find out it's already about riding fish.

Also: I'll cast my vote in favor of the manta. The shark is cool and all, but the manta has way more old-school panache.

Fish racing....while middle earth gets another flood event

It would be nice but come on, a guy with armor riding a dolphin?
Not to be mean but thats not right

Me to.I was thinking its about mounting a trophy

That's better than what I thought it was going to be about...

DUDE i totally like this.
we could have to do a quest where gandalf's old friend(a giant rainbow fish) lends us a hand by letting us ride him downriver instead of walking or riding so that we can deliver a message to a town that's about to be attacked by enemies. something like that would be really sweet. and we could stand by/at the river and call the fish from underwater and ride him anywhere we want(in the water of course).
when this update comes out i'm naming my fish donovan.

Maybe for quest but a guy riding a rainbow fish come on thats not good.

It maby is cool to ride a fish but it has to be big.and it can't Cary you with armor its to heavy.
