alright, so y'all sayin' I can go to Ascalon, kill some cows in person and completely subvert biome control, but I can't breed horses I already own, or tame the offspring of those horses I already own, in my own town, what do be up with that.

Cows are not a protected resource, and as a result, are not subject to any kind of biome control. Horses on the other hand are. This was changed during Lokas rejuvenation update to help balance some of the biomes and make controlling the mobs worthwhile. If everyone can breed and tame horses why bother trying to claim one of the 3 biomes they can be found in. https://loka.fandom.com/wiki/Biomes_and_Resources

One thing we will be adding in the nearish future is a way to capture, store and sell mobs (change ownership). This will make it easier for those who own these biomes with protected mobs to trade them with others. Again increasing the incentive to claim biomes, which main protected resource is a mob.

Some people are a little put off by Lokas protected resource system when they first join, but often understand and enjoy it when they really get into the server. It adds value to conquest and the economy. It's kinda boring when everyone has everything. In your case, I think it's because things have changed since 'back in your day' so takes some time to adjust. Things like protected resources make a lot more sense than they used to, but when you remember multiple different systems from the past I appreciate it can be confusing. On the plus side it's a great incentive to get involved in conquest either through diplomacy or battling yourself.

This is definitely something that would be very appreciated and great to see in the future.

Please reconsider this. No fly with no ability to get any other mode of transportation besides walking is terrible and extremely unenjoyable. I don't believe it makes sense to biome control the taming of animals. Especially when you can't fly and use ice highways. I might start boating around the desert at this point.

Horses are a resource like any other you can trade for with others. We have a Pokeball type mechanic we wish to implement at some point to assist with this trading (trading ownership). If this is a high priority for you (perhaps along with tweaks to the landmine module) please bring it up with your local LCR. We can only work on so many things at a time.
