Hello,

I just thought of this and I think it is feasable.

Anyway, the idea is to have a farm in which characters can "grow" the creatures that accompany them into battle.

In order to be able to do so, a character would have to get a special event in which he finds a freshly beaten path in the forest and then two options appear. You either follow the trail or not. If you do so, either you get lost and lose a forest fight or you find the farm.
Now you can actually either talk to the farmer or return to the forest (if you do so, the farmer gets angry and you get into a fight in which no bufs are allowed and the farmer is always at least one level better than you), when you talk to the farmer, he suggest growing a creature for you and then you choose your creature.
Every creature has a different growth price (gems, gems and gold, only gold).
In order for the character to get his new creature, he/she has to advance at least a certain number of Dragon Kills depending on the creature. This said, the growing price is per title acquired.
I reckon that, for example, if you want a Stallion to be grown for you, you'd have to pay 5 gems and acquire 3 titles, so everytime you get a title, you are required to get to the farm which, after you've found in a special event and chosen a creature to grow, appears on the left of the screen and so have to pay your due before your a certain level (e.g. pay due before your level 5 or your creature in the farm dies and you have to refind the farm).
Once your creature is fully grown, your current compagnion is automatically sold at the same price than in the stables and you have to visit the farm in order to acquire your new creature.

That is it, please comment.

Regards,

Herman

Strange idea.... the random element would be interesting i.e. creatures which can only be found wild and have to be bought and tamed...

That seems very complex. And it would most likely be easier and faster to simply buy the creatures outright using the current system.

We have discussed a few mount-centric special events that would help players get better mounts, but it's still far too early to say what's going to happen. We talk about a lot of things we never have time to add. :(

Do a google search for 'tamagotchi.'

Princess Maker was fun, too.

Nice one Pirotess, I reckon I didn't think of that. Anyway, just a thought to be discussed and eventually put in play.

Please continue commenting and adding suggestions so that we can see where it all leads.

Thanks,
