Posted August 20, 2018 Same happened during the last days to our cared horse called Rolf - lived on enchanted grass. AFAIK death is not fully avoiding cared for animals, although the chance should be very low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2018 My aged fat, cared for riding horse died the other day. On enchanted grass. On a side note, I had just used electrum runes on her a few days before to roll back age to aged from early ven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Was Zarairon pregnant at the time? Caring prevents death only from old age, not from things like disease or miscarriage. So, Cared should be a non-factor in the deaths of horses that are not at the very end of the venerable life stage. Cared does not prevent death other than from aging. So this issue is, "why is this animal dying" and not "why is this cared animal dying?" Edited August 20, 2018 by Brash_Endeavors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2018 Mine was not pregnant. I don't breed my riding horse. She was not diseased either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2018 Yes, it is still a valid mystery why these animals died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2018 Our horse was not pregnant as well (being a male), and was not on a crowded tile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) not pregnant(if she was i would have assumed miscarriage and moved on) and altho in a pen with other animals she was alone on her tile and most of the animals don't like to gather there Edited August 21, 2018 by Deth666 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) My hell horse (I logged off for just 2 hours!) was an untamed cared for 5sp fierce fighting hell horse who was dead when I logged on, it was on Xanadu, the hell horse had never had runes used on it. It was aged and was being cared for, and I have animal ignore from Nathan too so I couldn't have attacked it. (~80 favor when logged off) It died 3 days ago, August 18th. I was on Xanadu, the hell horse came from Exodus and was branded to Xanadu. It was female and was named, and she was fat and had no diseases, nor was she pregnant. Died ~7 PM Pacific time.

Posted August 21, 2018 2 of my oldest cared for horses died roughly 2 weeks back for no reason, I had used 9 runes on fleawar, reducing its age by 204 months (was still vulnerable). Fleawar Warflint Exodus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) horse name: Raidecho Server: Indy Aged fat Had used runes on her a few days before, taking her from ven fat to aged fat. Logged in 8-18 to find her dead. 11:33am local time. Had logged out at 00:01, so she died sometime during those 11 hours. Branded to Nysa (Indy) Cared for by ChampagneDragon She was on enchanted grass, where I park two riding horses, my bison on wagon, and cart with two horses. No other creatures on tile with her. This is not a locked, gated area, so it was suggested she was attacked. Did tracking (for what good it would do) and only her, my alt (Salacia) and a tower guard's tracks showed anywhere the area.

Posted August 22, 2018 I'm personally curious if this is happening just after server restarts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2018 2 minutes ago, Ostentatio said: I'm personally curious if this is happening just after server restarts. Possibly if they get age-checked before it recognizes that they're cared for ( kind of like the delay for additional queue slots ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 23, 2018 I had a handful of cared-for venerable horses die mysteriously just the other day. I couldn't think of what could have caused it, but I guess this answers that question. Now I know. Thank you for this report. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2018 I had 4 of my cart and wagon horses die, but I thought nothing of it. And wasn't sure if they where cared for or not. I care for my "in use" animals 90% of the time. but need to check logs to be sure. I'll dig through logs and see if I can grab info, but I don't know for sure. Will update later. Server: Pristine Today I noticed my nightshade hell horse died.(Time zone UTC -08:00) [09:24:50] You see the corpse of venerable hell horse. Last seen alive: [2018-08-20] [20:55:17] The venerable fat hell horse and the venerable fat Sweetheart get intimate. (need to check logs for who was caring for it.)

Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Had the same happen on WU today. It was a venerable greenish wolf (female, not pregnant, on deed, inside a locked pen with food on the ground next to it, cared for). (Server: Sklotopolis, and I did not use any runes on it) Edited September 30, 2018 by Joneya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Just had 2 cared for horses die while hitched to a wagon while parked on deed and on chanted grass on Xanadu Horse 1 :[02:20:06] venerable hardstrong. Male Gold No rune Branded Horse 2 :[02:20:15] venerable raidflint. Male Gold No rune Branded both died some time on the 8th Nov. none had any disease The tile per creature ratio of this deed is 22.72973. Optimal is 15.0 or more. This is a good figure. There are 39 creatures currently branded. also noticed a heap of normal aged creatures like sheep/cows/bulls/horses dead around the outskirts of my deed and very rarely see any local in my location as you need to get here by boat.
