About feeding pets; maybe they could just eat corpses or plants...
If we would have different creature types (like plants, insects, fish and meaty creatures) pets could have a certain menu of creature types they feed on.
But I think I'd prefer no feeding and just healing. I mean the player doesn't have to be fed... right?

re
There are a few ways wecan do this pet thing, 2 ways
Introduce them as pet monsters
OR
Introduce them as magicaly animated creatures
Pros and cons are
Pet monsters- Feed
some action
Magical Creature- Heal/support with magic
more variety in quests for items and other things for the creatures.
They used the magical one in maple story.

Well, we could do both:
Mages/conjurers/necromancers would have magical creatures, that need mana once in a while. Like elementals, undead and animated items... They'd have armies of floating swords behind them.
Warriors/beasttamers/harvesters/merchants would go for living creatures and find/buy food. These creatures may be bought or catched/tamed.
And as we won't have jobs like RO we could have mixes... like zombies; they'd need some magic to be raised out of a corpse, but they need fresh meat once in a while.

An event now and then is ok. But it shouldn't be high-priority for us to host those. We've got more important things to work on.
Unless we would have a special event manager ofcourse, who would do nothing else but script and warn the players about oncoming events.

Some thoughts about pets.
Different pets for different type of players.Wardogs/bears for warrior types and elementals for mages for example.I'd like that approach.
Combat or support emphasis.
If we use combat pets that attack there is one problem.How strong should they be?To strong they unbalance the game and to weak they're useless.It can be pretty hard to find the balance.I say go for the support function mainly.
If we're going to have a pure summoner class I suggest we make his/her summonings very powerful but shortlived.They unsommons after a short time that is.
Equipment or stats/abilities for pets.Personally I like to be able to buy equipment for my pet.It's more fun than to fiddle with pet stats or something similar.Say a dog with a protective collar that gives it a little better evasion.Maybe a elemental with a crown that gives it protection, faster attacks or whatever.
Pets and the grim reaper.How shall we handle the death of a pet or the player?
Stuff feeding pets.It's a darn annoyance.The only thing to worry about should be how many pets you can have (Intelligence for mage pets and strength for warrior pets?) and maybe a reduction in mana regeneration for mage elementals.Something that takes care of itself automatically.Remember that if you have to spend something to keep a pet you will have to farm for that resource, be it money to buy food or actually killing monsters and hope that they drop something eatable for your pet.Boooooring.
Should monsters be able to target and attack pets?This relates to if we want combat or support pets.This could alter how pets work significantly.
Also what should make the pet attack?You hitting a monster or a monster chasing you?Maybe something else?
I want to name my pet!
