Is it worth geting a pet?

I made my pet a private in my soc so I can train him as an attack trooper.

I don't think you have to stable them, not as long as you leave them where someone will always be around like swamp camp. I'll try it somewhere else busy to see what happens.

That BTW is the last place I'd leave a pet again after it running off into an MA support case twice now out of 4 times I got it out of stables there. They gave it back both times, but maybe that won't happen next time.

Not anymore.
A lot VUs ago, when tamming was really new, you could invite a pet as a soc member and then accept it. This only worked for the soc leader, so a soc member could not invite other pets. But this does not work any more.

(yes, I know, 1st of april is over).

Sure, one of LAs actually has been won by pets and they'll soon add the PVP 4 GD DNA to it.

The upside is that pet deeds are selling atm for way, way below cost as the established tamers try to sell their stock or others who are just starting want to get rid of their deeds.

People buy in the knowledge that if you don't open the deed you are currently able to keep them indefinitely and that when taming is improved then the price of the pets will rise significantly. So they buy now as an investment or to buy one now becasue they won't be able to afford one later. Three PJ Predictions on why they will go up in price are:

a. I think MA will change (or remove) the autostable function for freshly tamed pets
b. MA will actually reduce the delay between you getting the message that the pet needs feeding and the pet deserting you
b. Pets will become harder to tame

Of course I do have a vested interest.....so I would say this

PJ's sale is on... visit PJ'S Pet Shop - Genesis Almethera HQ- Genesis Star Tower B, Block C Shop 4 – this is just next to the TP.

I totally agree with P-J... and I am very afraid about the autostable function. If they remove it when they give us new pets to tame, it is going to be REALLY annoying .

Didn't Caligula named his Horse a Roman Consul ?
Surely this would be something similar first time ? ...in virtual world.
