From an Orc’s perspective.
I get it, being an Orc is pretty niche. There aren’t very many of us. There’s a singular lone Orc on Catskills, and the small band of Orcs that have popped up recently on Siege Perilous. Hard to really cater to just 10 players across two shards, but here’s some issues I’d like to bring to light from an RP/PK perspective.
First and foremost. This titles system. I can’t turn off the title Lord without having to die a whole bunch and lose fame after every single hunt to restock my imbue coffers. Not an issue for most players, but “Lord Blug’Tar” or “Lady Sadug” is a pretty obnoxious curse to be carrying around. Can we diversify this please? Maybe allow us to earn specific replacements through a series of quests, or allow us to simply toggle the “Lord” overhead title to off.
Second, it’s pretty hard to survive in Ultima without a mount these days, and an Ethy is part of the natural order of things when you’re conducting a lot of actions from stealth in PvP. In the past, Orcs could get away with skipping mounts on everyone but Mages through Krimping and other team based tactics. In modern Ultima, this is difficult or impossible due to the way the client now helps the player navigate obstacles.
There’s a 50/50 split to most things in Ultima, yet the Charger of the Fallen has no alternative for a player who is dominately evil. We can’t have Orcs, Brigands, or Vampires running around on silly armored horses designed for a knight, and it’s difficult to recruit brand new players who have access to higher-end veteran rewards, so can we get some more options in that cash shop? You guys need revenue, we need items. Let’s make a deal and show love for some newer players and veterans alike.
These are honestly two of the larger hurdles I’ve run into thus far in revitalizing an Orc Clan. Finding players to join a new clan on a shard that seems scary due to a lack of insurance in facets that are always PvP is difficult enough, but when I have a brand new player it’s best that I can present them with RP specific options for mounts, without having to break character and explain why I’ve been cursed with the title Lord and can’t get it off.
Dems me dub shinies todey. Ders gunna be mor me shurr. Gug’ye agh rulg fer reedun.

and @Bleak
so they see these, oh and if @Mesanna
can have locked down guild books for New and that special something or another in Moonglow for Drakelord, surely one of them can at least take notice of this and do something.
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
You could also try the ancient hellhound or the tarantula for ethies. Then there are grizzled mares or windrunners and the new undead cat (though those are live) for the "evil" vibe.
Charger of the Fallen is a great option for the first year hero in need of a mount. What about that first year savage creature who is diving back into Ultima Online as an Orc, or a Vampire, or even as a 1337 PK DeWd?
I think Sosaria is overdue for a new playable race. I vote Orcs.

A little less ego-thinking, know-it-all and rumbling compared to others who aren't so "great" and the UO-life would be a whole corner easier
(Ein bisschen weniger Ego-Denken, Besserwisserei und Rumprollerei anderen gegenüber die halt nicht so "toll sind" und das UO-Leben wäre ne ganze Ecke einfacher)
