For about 5 years, there has been a bug in the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S), but players like it so much that they want to keep it in the game.
What kind of bug is this: It can happen that your character in ESO does not mount but instead stands on its Mount. If you then “ride” off, your character starts running on the mount. It looks very funny.
The bug has been in the game for about 5 years. It only happens occasionally and it cannot be said for sure what triggers it. Apparently, it is because you start running exactly at the moment you mount.
You can watch how this looks in this video:
A Really Funny ESO Bug
What do players think about this bug? The community is thrilled, as the bug has now become part of ESO. It’s simply always funny to see when a player rides past you while running on their mount.

We summarize here some voices from the community regarding this bug:
- Artistic_Amphibian99 writes (via reddit): “My dad plays ESO and he firmly believes it’s a feature. He’s angry that he can’t figure out how to trigger it manually.”
- Lysdexic999 says (via reddit): “I wish standing on the horse wasn’t a bug and we could always do it when we wanted.”
- Goochslayr is happy about the bug (via reddit): “Does anyone know what triggers it? I laugh every time I see it.”
- TheGodOfnoOne jokingly says (via reddit): “Running on the back of a horse provides extra speed.”
- counselthedevil explains (via reddit): “This is a bug the developers wanted to fix. But players demanded it stay in the game because it’s just too funny. So I’d say: Make it a feature!”
So there are also bugs that players don’t want to have removed immediately. Running on the back of a mount in ESO has basically already “settled in” and should, in the players’ opinion, remain in the game.
Can you understand that and would you also like the bug to remain in the game? Or should it be removed, in your opinion?
