My short two cents:
Riding, obviously, won't happen for a number of reasons.
I think being able to carry a biped in one's foreclaws (or mouth -- eeek!) would be nice, though.

Well the game mechanics are the same - so in reality if riding can't happen, carrying can't happen either. Game mechanics being equal (i.e. its not possible for one character (or any game entity - NPCs included) to attach itself/move with another that way).
Now if we're just talking for fun - lore wise - then yes carrying would make at least a tiny bit more sense...lol.

are you sure? I mean PWI has suprised me by the character interactions i've seen. *cackles hysterically* i even kissed my female guild leader in game. heheh i could carry her and fly with her ...... i can go on but the point is it can happen, but it seems it not a choice we can make, or is it?
PWI?
(apparently that's not enough characters to post...)

the full name of the game is, brace for it, it is a long name: Perfect World International. lol
I have a few characters on PWI, Hawkman. Well...quite a few, actually, (I am an altaholic). Raging Tide server. Which server do you play?
I play on the Arcosaur Server... unless you were referring to Istara then it's the order server lol. this is a liitle off-topic though just Private message me plz.

So what exactly has that anything to do with what you can do in PWI?
PWI is not Istaria. I highly doubt (like 99% doubtage) they are the same engine. So what you can do there has absolultey nothing to do with what you can do here.
I *believe* (again unless a dev comes in a verifies this its just going on memory of a dev comment a few years old lol) that the engine simply doesn't allow character "binding" (the way I think of it, if you are sitting on or carried then you are attached to another character in a signficant way of interaction...) like that. Its why we don't have ANY type of mounts - NPC horses or mules or wagons or *anything*. The engine just doesn't work that way. Wether its being carried or doing the carrying, it just won't do it - it isn't capable of it.
Again, unless a dev explains or comments on it I could be remembering it wrong.
But what you can do in PWI really has no relevance to what you can do here. I can do tons of things in other games I can't do here.

your right, the game has a crap engine, but it has dragons, so i just really can't complain can i? even so i will always love this game, even if it sucks to some extent, i love the community.
Actually Istaria has a good engine, when you realize how old it is, what it stood in front of, and how long it has survived.
Even if you see the engine as 'crap', at least you can say we are the most strong hold player-base.
I think not even a earthquake could shake us off this game.
However, yes, the engine doesn't support mounts, then again, I never understood the big deal about mounts anyhow. Even games that provided them, I never used them.
Call me old fashion, but why do you need mounts anyhow? Just so you can go faster? Cast a Speed 5 on yourself and there you go!
Heh, I'm one of the opposite types of people - I love having mounts (and I use them in games even when it makes me go slower just because I love riding lol). I find it more boring to run around myself, and prefer to be mounted on something. Makes me feel more..into the game or..something...
And not all games have speed buffs, sometimes its either "Run real slow on foot" or "run 50-100% faster mounted". So in such games its a HUGE difference.
But no if I"m a dragon I dont' need a mount - just sayin .

Dozens of little gnomes carrying my dragon upon a golden lined litter through the streets of town. My dragon could get into that.
Now that sounds like something worth altering an engine for...
