Pets have arrived!
 

To quote stefan:

The pets have been added!
There are currently 3 types of pets, you find them on different
places on the main island. These new pets need to be feeded,
they also need to drink and sleep. From time to time they are in
the 'mating time', when you bring them together with a pet of the
opposite gender of the same race then the female pet will lay
an egg. Pets can be 'tamed' by feeding them and giving them
water and touching (grabbing), but it will take some time. Once
they 'like' you you can use the commands 'follow' and 'name
pet'. After some days (or when getting not food/water/sleep)
the pets will die.

Some are east of harmonia, some are north-west if bomboria,
some are in the north (the horse-one)

First to own a pet (likes and follows, e.t.c):Me
First to abandon a pet:Me...
I abandoned it because it was too slow and would tie me down, I may get one when houses come out, I'll chain it to a post and visit every now and then to feed it, heh.

Why not just use fortifications and keep it inside a little fort then when you need to take him somewhere just chop 1 fortification down and repeat the process :)

people will thief him? :(

Some more information about pets.
-At 75% of liking you (You can tell if they like you, their weight, their generation, by right clicking them) then you can make them follow you or name them.
-They can swim in the water.
If you find any more info on pets please post it here.

Looks like males are orange and females are yellow...
Also, someone told me that pets like music. Like from warhorns.

And im first to feed my pet Booze
You can also sing to your pet...

Me and Anu were the first to breed a pet :]

yah and i watched the 2 lil guys mate in excitement......upps did i say that out loud?

and how do you catch one?

I'm the first to lose their pet
And the first to get a "restock" on the pet population
And the first to start research on the pets..


Right now I'm seeing if they can survive off the land... If they can then we dont have to work our asses off to get food and water for them!

My pet is the first pet on Dustari island =P....

First creature other then human in fact =/

Pets? Can we have a horses instead? :\

Bah, I don't like pets, they destroy my training schedule... they are too slow... make it so you can ride them when they are big enough or carry them when smaller.

Choupa is a Horse O_o

If a Choupa's a horse, then I'm an Orc...

:D :D :D

the pets should move faster
when was the last time you saw a squirel that wasn't able to move at least twice as fast as you?
i wanna teach that little guy to cuss, drink beer, and steal but i'm probably gonna have to dump him off somewhere cuz he's so slow

Grr .. ::jumps IC::

WHAT YOU GOT AGAINST ORC, HUH? We not smelly, you smelly, stoopud! You shut up or me beat you with Balor mace! *roars* Me cast fire a- .. ehr .. a-- orr-uhh .. uh .. me cast that and burn you like bomy! *growls*

::jumps OOC:: Well, now that that's out of my system .. :D

I saw some people with choupas, and they were moving just as fast as they were. Was the pet you had at or above 75% of liking you? If it wasn't, it wasn't really your pet.. if it was, you have to say "follow", I think. :o

Untill pets take awhile longer to die (atleast let them live for 5 or 10 days) I may not even bother with em anymore =X to much trouble for just something that follows you

Pets should live much more then 10 days...
like a month, i mean if you take care of them there is no reason for them to die so quickly.

Yeah but they breed like jackrabbits
Mainly those damn yodas, THEY EVERY WHERE!

I'm not going to fool with them until we get Personality EXP for taming them. When that happens, though, I'll have to open a zoo. :) I want Personality EXP!
