The Shadow Nose: I can already hear the traditionalists cry: POWER-LEVELING 
I think the monsters you herd should not be summoned. Reason: See above. They should be bought somewhere (farm?) and then looked after, as they are kind of a long-term investment. The whole herding thing should be more longterm, anyway. So you can travel around with your flock, look for good feeding grounds, protect them against monsters, ...
And in the end you can take their wool/meat/milk/eggs/fillinsomeproduct. But you gotta work for that. Not just take some sheep for a stroll and they give you milk.

Surely lag is a major problem, but as internet bandwidth increases the lag shouly decrease.
It's another thing if the client itself lags because of too many objects onscreen or whatever else. But that's a programming issue.

The Hydlaa Plaza / Direct swordplay

Has any of you ever played a game from LucasArts' Jedi Knight Series? Give or take the mystical Jedi Powers which made you perform impossible acrobatics, but i loved the possibilities of swordplay in these games.
So, coming to the point I wanted to make, the question is: Do you guys think such "directly controlled" swordplay/weapon handling could ever be appliable for RPGs? (From the player's point of view. The implementation is another cup of tea!)
I'd like to hear your opinions...

? Where else should I post?

The idea of herding sheep (or any other cattle) is quite intreaguing... 
Yet I agree, that cattle does not belong into town (for the reasons mentioned above). So maybe there could be an cattle market event outside the town every month(ior week), where one could trade cattle?
Another problem mentioned is, where to leave the flock if you get bored with herding them. I'd suggest just to leave them somewhere on a meadow, guarded by some kind of sheepdog (pet? summon?) which keeps the flock in place and protects it against attackers.
Or maybe go to a farm and leave them there (having paid a small donation to the farmer, of course)...
