Hawks / owls

myth-simba · #1 05-01-2006, 12:56 AM

how about we liven up our little furry pet friends?

i heard rumours pets will be more practical like mining for you and such.
owls can be useful too. but most importantly .. fun.
give your pet owl or hawk a command.
you can make them fly around the islands and watch them on your map, they explore a lot and its nice to have your pet fly alongside your ship at sea. simple tell it to follow you , fly around, and so on. of course commands will be put in place, like /petfollow or something.

but this is where owls / hawks really shine..
Drag and drop a letter on him. The letter will be stored on the owl and type /send *acctname* and watch the owl fly to the person. and they'll get a message telling them they have a letter for them, do they want to gain it. if they decline the owl flies back to ytou, if yes letter appears in inventory and owl flies back to you. owls would be fun to watch aswell. telling it to fly around you may see it fly really far away from you but watch on the map, and if it feels like it, it will fly alongside you when sailing. when its not doing anything, giving it command /stop or something, it just sits there on the grass, maybe sleep a little as normal pets do.

Also get rid of those lame Yoda or Monkey pets and add Bomy pets.

I actually see this as a neat idea. I like the delivery idea a lot too, maybe small items even.

Wow that does sound like a good idea, pets are just there being lazy and useless

That would be awesome. I would love for a way to make letters more useful.

RP purposes. I think it'd be much more fun.

I have been wanting those dead for a long time now.

and not to mention the monkeys sound retarded

Yeah, just a little bit. Especially when you can hear them over loud music.

OK, what about if you could attach stuff to your letter,and have the owl/hawk be able to deliver to peoples mailboxes on kingdom islands. Though you would probably have to get rid of the weight limit in mailboxes. when you have mail in the box, a flag should pop up and let you know you have mail XD. Also people have multiple houses so it could maybe deliver to the closest house. that way you could leave a messege, or a gift for somebody that is not online.

The leveling for pets could be used in this situation too. Once your owl/hawk delivers so much it could "maybe" grow and carry more or heavier items.
