    Yup, non of it there.

    And, as much fun as it would be to have an Ocyx with a built in flamethrower to ride, I´m all for it being left out.
    If it would be implemented, then what else would we have then a new Kind of Pokemon Battles?

    "I choose you Kipukaaaa! Go kill the Bolobi of that (insert Faction here) B**tard!"
    *shudder*

    Naw, I realy don´t wat to see players pitting "their" MOBs against each other.

    Maybe if they´d implement it in a "Self defense" way, like your Ocyx for example would guard you whilst digging, or some new mounts (would look espacially funny with bolobis or wombais )
    So the "pet" would only attack other Mobs, or players comming to gank you while digging.
    That would be a logical way and not some cheap knock off from other games.
    Technically its possible, seeing that even Tribes of the opposite faction "help" me when I run into their village for shelter from an aggro mob.

    Ryzom, we dare to be different.
    Do you dare to adapt?

    I left SWG on the 22nd of August and there hasn't been CH's there since the NGE hit back in December! So if that is your only reason for staying come on backto Ryzom! We have mounts and pack animals and IMHO Ryzom is far less buggy and you don't get the "oops we accidently broke this but fixed that of SWG". And to be totally honest the community on Ryzom is leaps and bounds ahead of SWG in that I have not ran accross a Troll or Flamer yet and everyone is very helpful!

    Then I am not understanding the linkied thread where players are showing off pics of their Pets. Does it have anything to with Ryzom Ring?

    That is too bad. I got excited after I read something about the Ryxom Ring where you could control pets or creatures somehow.

    Too bad, I enjoyed playing the free trial, but having a combat pet or pets to hunt with with would make SoR alot more fun for me.

    In the ring you'll be able to control and command creatures in your role as the GM.  Not quite the same things.

    You could make pets high maintanence:

    -like maybe they would have to "eat" a certian amount of animals of no less then level x per 24 hours of game play if carnivor.

    OR

    -If a herbavor they need a certian amount of time to graze, like an hour ever 24 hours of play or something or "Eating" agressive plants.


    Creature taming should be in almost every MMORPG, it is just a question of how to balance it.  Just giving up on it would be a loss for the genre.
