I can't recall off-hand, and don't have time to verify, but should mounts be persistent across zoning? Like you leave Antonica mounted on a horse, arrive in Thundering Steppes on that horse.

I know Mounts are new, but here's the first bug I could scrounge up

yeha when i use to play eq2 live when mounted u load mounted.. well not mounted but once u got to the zone u auto mounted lol so it would load and u would see ur guy jumping on his horse hopes this helps

Yep John you "auto cast" lount after zoning, like all other buff.
If you zone in a zone where you can have mount buff is still here, you keep eventual bonus ou your mount (not speed) and if you don't die in the zone you auto cast your mount when you zone out.
If you die you lost buff so have to recast your mount (in all zone)

Finaly you can say mount is like another spell the only ifferent thing is the speed buff (and mount) you cannot have in all zone
