Shattered Kingdoms

Pretty much, Grep. I was playin with my scout a bit and the maned red wolf from the Circle of the Strong disappears on logout. I believe once they've disappeared they can respawn.

If it isn't unique, another can spawn. The swamp boa does this I believe.

It's a good thing. You shouldn't be able to hoard unique tames like Vulpus (he's still around, right?)

That's a pokemon, isn't it?

Aside from Vulpis, I can think of one or two pets that are unique. Most are limited to two but not unique. Vulpis is also very easy to obtain compared to some of the others that wander in the widlerness.

shouldnt you be able to hoard a unique pet as long as you are active on the MUD?
I mean if youre inactive and you holding a unique pet hostage that would be just plain ego & power mudding, or a case of losing interest and absent mindedly or purposely being inconsiderate of other players. But dont they delete inactive players after 30 days?
For a player that IS active, wouldnt being able to hold on to a unique pet contribute to role playing?

Active when it comes to being deleted requires very little time. I think it was Linarumien, a character from a while ago now, who logged on once a month for one in game tick, then back off. Got to a really high age before finally age dying. Point is, you don't have to do much to keep your character from being deleted. I agree though, that you should be able to keep unique pets. It isn't a magical ability. I don't see anything wrong with this. You made Leo, King of the Jungle, love you. Good job. He's yours.
