The cows were removed when the Devs attempted to animate them but they couldn't quite clear the objects they were jumping over and were udderly destroyed.

I think you ignored part of what you quoted.

If they never moved, there was no quadruped animation involved.

I hope that these serious replies are actually just sarcastic or playing along with it

I started playing my account in June, but played on my brother's second account in May of 04 and we were in Perez, I never saw any cows at that time. He had been in beta during the big event, and when the game went live. He doesn't remember cows.

I do however remember BaB as a shark on the wall of a building in Portal Corps. That was fun.

Anyone remember the cow invasion they ran on the test server way back when? Shame they never implemented it for live.

This is one time when I sure wish I had a picture for proof. I know it's hard for people to believe, but they were fun to hit to get the 'MOO" out of. Perhaps most people don't remember them is because they were not in the game for long, and weren't the focus for most. They weren't only in Perez, but I recall seeing most sightings there...they weren't in herds, just 1 or 2 at a time. Not sure if Razoras is pulling our legs or not...the cows did not move. They were npc's you could hit or click on to get the "mooooo".

Lying is not nice, even if it's harmless little lies for fun.

I don't know what's true anymore! I have entered a world of lies!

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

I found a screenshot with a cow in Perez Park! I wonder why they were removed?

I thought it was going to be this link! Rock-n-Yodel! (and yes, that is a very young Oprah making the introduction.)

The game Asheron's Call had cows that players could click on, causing the cows to tip over and "mooo". I still don't remember ever seeing or hearing of cows in CoH.
