Types of Pets

• lovely pets
  • like cats
  • pets are not very 'helpful' in real life. they are a friend or a play thing. they're not there to kill much for you :)
  • cats should not grow strong but be sweet little cats
• fighting pets
  • like the baby dragon
  • fighting pets should level, currently a baby dragon can just kill a rat
• suggestion that pets should eat lesser
• new pets
  • dog
  • wolf
• special abilities
  • pack animals with extra slots for items
  • mounted animals for faster travel
  • players run the fastest that anything can run dune to limits in the way movement is handled in code

Kennel

• it should be possible to leave the pet somewhere safely, so you can have a cute pet, but don't have the burden to care for it all the time
• partly possible in your house, but they will not survive a server restart
• saving pets in the bag or bank chest (like other games do) sounds cruel
• kennel you can pay for
• Katinka at the sanctuary can already look after pets, but she takes them forever
• a similar thing - where you can get your pet back
• it is typical to pay boarding fees when you take pet to kennel
• could be a higher fee to get them out if they where under 100lb when placed in. you know like your pet ate more than the other so i will have to charge you more for the return of your pet
• it could be possible to charge for the time spent in the kennel. that approximates the amount of food needed
• they should take care of the pet. Getting it all fat does not sound healthy. So I guess a good idea would be to keep them the way they are when they are given to the kennel.
• if we save the kenneled pets as part of the player object, we can keep them forever. Only if we store them as part of the wildlife zone, there would be a limit.
• if the player has given a cat to the kennel, he would not be able to adopt a second one, but can get his pet back from the kennel of course
• wildlife place may be a good idea for the kennel, need to make sure that it is obvious to whether you give your pet away to the refugee forever or just temporary to the kennel
