Why does /dance not work anymore?

    This makes me sad. I used to use /dance alot, now it does nothing. I ASSUME its because I'm on a mount, but it doesn't even give the text emote it used to "Soandso dances with Whatshisname." and no more "chair dancing" on my mount. =( I hide mounts too, so it makes me sad to /dance and just stand there doing nothing.

    In whatever chat tab you send category (Error Text) to, you'll find the error message: "You cannot do that while mounted".

    As you note, it block dancing even with mounts hidden, or when you are mounted on a mount that isn't really a mount, such as a pair of wings.

    /dances sadly
    //"You cannot do that while mounted".

    Well, you are no friend of mine. Btw, if ttobey were to somehow let you dance, would do a /victorydance?

    The mount states are over writing your player state. So when you are on a mount or have wings your idle state now becomes wyvern_mount_idle. There isn't a wyvern_mount_dance, so It won't play a dance. I'll bring it up, it's more code than art.

    LOL, so if coded, will my terrorbird dance the Funky Chicken? :D

    Oh, and it would be sweet if when wearing flight wings my gals could do the dance moves same as when "dismounted". :)

    YAY!!! I have many fond memories of "chair dancing" on my horses back in the day. Funny stuff. If you can get it back to that state, that'd be awesome =) Thank you Ttobey!

    Our gnomes do the horse vaulting stance on the wyverns a lot! It's kinda fun to see 2 little gnomes standing on the saddles.
    Could we have an option to 'circus ride?'

    I think a wyvern_mount_dance sounds more amazing than fixing regular dancing.

    I'm still waiting for them to offer race-specific dances for the original character races in the marketplace. I'd pay good money to have a different dance than the default one that looks less like a dance and more like a seizure. o_O

    Hehe ...
    Anyways yes I agree, and all my toons are fae and arasai and they do have their own race dance. And have to say, LOVE how the fae dances :)

    I love doing the Haunting Spin while on horseback- I can spin around like the Exorcist!

    I have to get off my mount to get down to electric avenue. >.>

    And then you'll take it higher?

    We were liars in love and we danced, swept away for a moment by chance, And we danced, danced, danced.
