Pet Names

[Kitana]

Just for fun - Do you wish you had the ability to name your pet.. so their name shows above their head instead of generic "Beastie's Warder"?

[DiosT]

I like being able to say "my pet" and not have to regress to the old days of.. "My pet... *looks around* *types in pets name for this hour* Jobaboner"
*minutes later*
"My pet still doesnt have the buffs"
Buffer: "Oh shoot, I buffed Joboboner! not Jobaboner!"......

then there's the whole "Sorry, buffed the WRONG Jobaboner" -- I had one group where we had 3 pets with the exact same name (was bored at frenzy ghoul camp, when we noticed we had 2 pets with the same name we tried for the 3rd til we got it)


So, for simplicity I love the <name>'s warder... but if I wern't such an efficency pain in the rear end I'd love to name my pet -- I love the role-playing aspect of it, but EQ simply lacks role-playing now...

[Kitana]

hehe nah I don't mean randomly generated names..

I mean we should be able to name our pets and have the name stick!

like Killer, or Fluffy, or .. whatever you want it to be

:D

[DiosT]

I was just saying as an example of the past...

Would require me to 'forward' the name of my pet to the buffer, where as right now I can say "my pet" and they -know- the name of my pet :-)


And not too many 'unique' pet names here either ;-) Fluffy being probably the most common name :-P

[DiosT]

I take that back, there are a lot of unique names, I just doubt it would hold true if every beastlord named their pet... I know them trolls have mostly all unique pet names :-) but vah shirts :-/ heh

I think it would be great for RP guilds to be able to name warders for the beastlords.  I also think it would be uber if we could choose a pet skin for our pet, making them different colors than the average.

Wolf is Wolf either way. But yeah I think it would be cool to have his name above his head:)

[Thrashum Gud]

Gussy would love to have her own name so the gnomes and halflings would know exactly who was munching them.

[Felidae]

I've always thought that I should be able to change "warder" to a name so that every where is said "Felidae`s warder" it would instead say "Felidae`s Cutey".    For practical reasons it's nice having the my name there still but would like to be able to name the warder.  For that matter would like to see "Merlin`s Jobakar" too over just Jobakar.

[Incite]

Muh warder's name is "Garbage".  I wanna see that above his head.

[Zorthar]

The only problem I see with this is it would be subject to the abuse that people do with Their PC names, I can not stand names that are 100% idiotic, surnames not as much, but stuff like Itank Giveuexp makes me mad.

[Alelo]

Frisky would love to have Frisky float above him, instead of Alelo's Warder

[Silresa]

Everyone I know already knows her as Jingles.. If anything, it would reduce any sort of confusion. :D

[Pojodan]

I dunno.. Kitty's already fairly sensative about me calling him that in public.. while I'd certainly like it I doubt he'd be too happy and we all know how disgruntled warders can be.

[Hrann]

I call my warder my doggy, or just dog.  I wouldn't mind if it said Hrann's dog I guess.  *shrug* hehe
