I always thought this to be very cool, I would love the idea for EQN to have a class where you can charm say an orc or an ogre so that you can jump on his back and have him run for you, or say an animal that has huge running speed. I am sure that with the multi-classing coming up that everybody is going to be some sort of traveling wizard or druid type. It would just be very cool to be in the middle of no where and charm something and ride it back to where ever you are going to get there faster.

That would be an amusing spell. Especially if it were a later spell from a rare class. And if you could optionally cancel the charm, so you could ride a young kodiak up to a level 3 human and be like "'sup." *cancel* *feign death* "RAWR" "AHH!" *watches bear chase level 3 around newbie zone*
Pranking aside though, still cool.
Edit: Unless you mean it would run back home once you hop off. In that case, not as cool. Otherwise, though, just imagine: you could force a population migration by having a raid grab all the orcs/kodiaks in a zone and ride them across the world!
That would be funny to see a herd of orcs running across norrath with us on their backs. I would only assume that animal/creature would just die once your timed dismount ran out. least have enough time to be able to get off and get back on without having to lose your ride. I always thought least back in EQ1 that playing a enchanter I would be able to charm something to use for a ride! meanwhile wizards and druids jet off across the world..lol I wanted to ride something silly and totally contradicting what I should be riding haha.
