Shattered Kingdoms

I think it's just this character. Yes, all my detects were up.

If someone is sneaking + walking (not flying) even detect hidden won't help you see them walk in.

This is probably just someone sneaking.

That said, I've managed to get several pets to follow me around. Only one of them was in my group, and would respond to orders, though. I think I did it by freeing a pet when it wasn't in the room with me, buying a new pet, and then going back to the first one. It hadn't stopped following me. This was with the large, black horses.

Sometimes when you free a pet, it still follows you. Whether bought, tamed or gotten some other way.

Makes sense. Domesticated animals always go back to their source of food, the owner.

Still a bug if there wasnt a second person, though i guess we wont really know cause someone could have been sneaking.

That happens a lot. Sometimes when you free a pet it will keep following you. But it's not in your group and it doesn't have the "Charmed" flag anymore.

It wasn't. I asked the person oocly. He said the pet was still following him.

That happens randomly, not that it isn't a bug, but pets who just follow you around won't assist you in anything last I knew. So basically, the guy just follows you around, and if you turn on auto follow it should make it stop, or it normally goes away when you log out to. Luckily, the pet won't protect you when it's just following you around, so it's not really a huge issue.
