IDEAS FOR RYZOM

The 'pet buff' is a great idea. Runes of Magic has a similar pet system going they launched a while back. Ryzom could do a SOOOooo much better job of it with their current system. But yeah their system is basically any critter you can fight in-world, also potentially leaves behind a weird magical creature upon death which you can trap (money sink to buy trap) collect the 'pet egg' (money sink - buy / sell the eggs) and then hatch it in your incubator / pet control window.

It is a complete pain in the arse, but basically you pet has it's own set of stats. You feed it, keep it out as often as you can, etc. and in return the more you both battle together the better its buffs become and the more often it throws them (loyalty) - and they will actually fight with you too after a while so... it is a very strange system, but similar to what's been thrown about here towards the end, and I think if it was done PROPERLY - it would really be a cool pet system that was not your run of the mill 'pet / hunter class' type of pets.

Anyway... I would definitely like to see this happen at some point, especially with all of the way cool and crazy critters on Atys!! :)

I think it would be nice, and to have a downside it could replace 1 of the packers or mount. You would also need to feed it as it roams with you like a packer. Than if you tamed a carnivore it would not have bag space more than 50 (For food only) but if it would be a herbivore it could have bag space like a packer.
