Where is this pile of sh!t in Freeport? Never seen it and have run all over that place a gazillion times

Near the Theater of the Tranquil. It's brown and in the middle of the sand/rocky road.

EQ doesn't have any domesticated animals--those breeds are a human/Earth creation. I suppose they wanted Classic Norrath to feel wild and untamed (and it is).

Bonus question: why the hell are there so many elephants in South Karana? Seems weird.

Classic EQ had no horses, cows, sheep, pigs, or chickens. This is despite there being farms and wagons littering the countryside, gypsy camps with caravans that were pulled by something or someone, and a mysterious cow pie left in Freeport.

The same reason that Qeynos has a bunch of empty houses, they ran out of money, needed to sell the game to make more, and that was something they would add later.
As for the poo pile, I always thought that some Ogre or Troll dropped a load when they almost got caught by FP guards.

I think EQ used to have the basis for ordinary type animals but since its EQ, the animals were changed... Horses and chickens became Centaurs and Aviaks and cows and bulls become Minotaurs.

all of those additional assets would lag the game.

They were over farmed by poopsocking necros. Where do we get all the milk from? Well, we don't have cows. But we have lots and lots of large rats.

My computer struggled without all those extra models to render. I for one am very happy they didn't have all those little criters running around making my Gateway blow hot air on my leg.

best quote I heard is, since there are no horses in everquest does that mean someone dropped trow and took a shit in the middle of the road in WFP?

It was a drunk undergrad student from the Academy of Unseen Sciences 'Submitting their faeces'.

Kids, eh?
