As part of the ongoing updates to its Chapter III -- The Elder Kingdoms expansion, Frogster has announced a new pet system coming to Runes of Magic later this month. The impressive patch will add over 100 virtual pets to the free-to-play fantasy MMORPG, each with a range of new gameplay abilities designed to augment player characters.
Pet eggs will become available upon completion of a specific quest, and once hatched, the pets can be cared for, managed, and combined using a new interface. Pets will also directly affect their masters depending on how players choose to allocate their experience, loyalty, and talent attributes. Frogster hints that well trained pets will more ably support characters in combat and crafting, as well as provide superior buffs.
Players will be able to own a maximum of six pets, with one active at a given time. Stay with Massively as we'll bring you more on this exciting new system as it develops.

That is all the entire gaming industry has done for the past 10 years, what's your point? :)
Also, how will this interact with classes who already have permanent combat pets like the Warden class? Two pets would be a bit clunky, and having to choose one or the other would suck for the Wardens!

I don't know if this is a bad idea guys; my interest has peaked since reading about this addition to the game. I haven't played the game in a while, and I have to go back and try out these new pets.

Might have to give this game a go. Maybe.
