<DIV>I've seen requests to fix this for ages...  Well...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Finally, your requests have been answered.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In Live Update 18, pet classes will no longer have to dismiss their pets to ride on the Griffon (or carpets).  Your pets will be microscopically miniturized with the latest Gnomish technology and stored... somewhere... on the Griffon.  You won't even know they're there!  When you land, they jump off too and be right there by your side!</DIV>

[Ost]

??!! I can't believe you all are applauding something so incredibly insignificant.  I play a pet class and it never bothered me a bit to have to recast it.  So what, big whoop-di-do.  This is exactly the kind of crap that is bringing MMORPGs done.  Devs spending their valuable time implementing bularky like this when they should be fixing bugs, adding new <i>meaningful</i> content, etc etc.  Instead everyone gets together and whines and cries and gripes over something insignificant like this... so when the Devs finally give in and take <i>hours</i> of out of their work schedule to do this people whine, gripe and cry because real, game stopping issues aren't being fixed in a timely manner...I guess what I'm really trying to say is... OMG I've been waiting for this forever!!! Thanks guys!  WooT!(btw, in case you all didn't pick up on it the first part was a joke and the second part is my actual reaction)<div></div>

Looking forward to LU18!

I always thought that it would be awesome if Bob would just hop on the back of the griffon with me. This became especially amusing when, after I had my app4 of my scarab (it was all i could afford at the time) and my warlock friend would turn him to a frog that was rather... large (aka, his shoulder was above my head... BIG froggy). We would laugh all the time when she did that and then I'd have to kill it to get on the bird. We thought it would be awesome to see a great big frog sitting on the tail of the griffon as it flew around. In any case, I guess I could handle Bob becoming miniature and hiding in some unspeakable part of the bird while I fly. So long as he returns to normal when we land! =) <div></div>

[StaticLex]

<DIV>Dang, about time.</DIV>

[Flee65]

Woot, thank you this will be so much better than killing my grim ravager each time i wanna go somewhere, then when i get there spending another minuite summoning and re buffing it:smileyhappy:
