Pets using other characters names

**________________Seid** · Feb 18th, 2002, 11:09:16

I frequently see pet users name their pets after other players and (ab)use the pets to "speak" for that character...

This can be used for harassment, and I would prefer having a name check on pets to prevent them from having a name allocated to a registered player.

No to really, some people name there pets after other people in guilds...I see a Robot "Venge" sometimes

something better to do...Obviously you have too much time on your hands. This is such a looooooow priority I hope they worry about it in maybe 2 years or so.

...said a pet user. Nuff said

I think that it's a really good idea, especially in PvP, you can't just tab through -- you might get a pet. You actually have to LOOK at what you are killing

Hey, that's a good idea. Decoy pets.

But seriously, if you can't tell the difference between a pet and a person... well.... *shakes his head in disappointment*

/me mutters under his breath "darn mecha-liberationists!"

Maybe all pets should have another color on their names by default, so it would be easy to see

lol renaming my pets have given me and my firends a few very good laughs.
I dont agree about using foul language and such but its a shame some people just cant take a joke.
I bet Seid is an NT, he fits the profile!

i did a mean thing once, but it was only the one time, a long time ago, there were very few mp's with demons, i had mine in omni trade and i set it to /pet wait, near the grid. i named him something or other i forget what, it was near christmas too.

so i started sayng like "hi playername" how are you? and i had this one guy who couldnt speak english well and had never seen a demon before, he asked what i was i said i am a GM (yes i can get in huge trouble i havent dont this since and i wont again) and that we are giving away free stuff for christmas.

the guy started asking for a sledgehammer and stuff, i said ill do what i can. he was so excited and he beleived me.. i feel bad now but hell it's a game i can have a little fun : )

haha, funny as hell, the sad part is that you would probably get a warning if someone petitioned, and even more sad is that some people would probably petition for it.
