Wait, I just have one question. Would I still get the pet if I used store bought game cards instead of subscribing through their website?

That's exactly what i want to know, I've been "subscribed" to ESO since the release with game cards, already used two of them, so it would be nice if that counts too, otherwise.. it's going to be not cool for people who use game cards.

I imagine this would be the case, as time cards are still "game time payed", but it would be nice to have some official confirmation.

I think this is a great idea, ZOS! I was hoping you'd add something like this to ESO! Thanks!

We need a nifty account wide companion tab so that we can play with all of our pets and not have to axe the inventory space to do so! Please! "It's ours, and we wants it!"

Goibot

Good Idea, a lot of MMO's do this as well.

However, you can please keep your vanity pets until they:
1. Do not have any collision - as they are they allow players to get stuck (this really needs to be fixed, like at launch).
2. Takes no bag/bank space.

Nice to have another pet but a horse would be better. Arvak would be great.

That is awesome. Here's hoping for a mount at some point. I'd love me something like Shadowmere or Arvak, well, I can dream anyway.

I hope shadowmere come with the DB.

Best part of this guild is exactly this horse.

The pets are nice, but what would be a real thrill is having the rest of Skyrim to run around in, starting with Whiterun. It would be great to see what Breezehome looked like when the paint was fresh and the roof didn't leak, before it started looking so run-down.

this is great 1 thing tho,gina how about giving the devs a little push that they make the pets as consumables and that you can summon them account wide from your achievement tab instead of making it an actual item in game wich fills a slot in bank or bag and make it impossible to accidentally destroy or vendor it?

What do you guys think of a reward tier, and for each time you go up like what they have right now for example the 3 month reward and the 6 month reward. But instead of everyone getting the same items, there be an in-game system that allows you to pick 1 of the 6 or so different pets for the first reward tier and so forth. Just options, with a system in game maybe to show how long you have subscribed, the next reward tier cycle, maybe the rewards you can choose from? And say you can keep your current reward tiers item ticket until you choose what you want for a reward from there? Just a thought so we do not see a bunch of ice wraiths haha.

Lol sure thing, and here's emperor for breathing, a button to push that grants VR14 and infinite potions. Skill points for subbing? Sure here you go, have a dragonborn title and a Avark too!

Whatever happened to challenging content and earned itemization that actually rewarded gameplay? Gamer entitlement?

/sigh

Hopefully the 6 month reward is something better than a pet. I like disguises and a variety of other things, but I have no use for pets.

This is awesome. However, we're absolutely going to need some kind of pet stable...

Edit: regarding being there since "before the beginning", we got the monkey for that...

Athas24

I absolutely LOVE the loyalty concept! Capitalism rules haha. Also, I would have to say that we need a special *pet bag or stable* so that we can summon them. I have to say the same thing for maps. I love the content but I HATE that my bag space is taken up like wild. I spend all my money on bag space . A piece of paper certainly doesn't take up the same size in a bag as heavy armor. I think an easy way to deal with this is a pet bag that holds whatever pets are in game as a max and a paper case or bag for maps etc. Again, LOVE the loyalty concept!

cathyshively101b14_ESO

Totally love this. Thank you ESO. Been loyal from the beginning and going strong. I'm still having a blast! I just love the little pets. Even have the little stuffed Guar! Can't wait...

I think the idea of a loyalty program is great, but the offer of a pet is not. I never use the pets I gained by pre-ordering. They offer no benefit, and take up valuable space in the backpack. If the pet could fight, that would be different.

Better rewards would be:

• A very high spec item that matches the players level and choices of weapons or armour (ie dont give light armor to someone that uses heavy)
• A new and cool-looking colour available at the dye stations that only such loyal players can use
• A trophy item that when activated gives a visual effect and a significant combat bonus (with a cooldown of one hour)
• A special disguise set that looks really cool, but has only a visual effect
• A portal item that the player can leave anywhere, and teleport to when they wish.

I see my personal bank and character backpacks in the future... and they're full of pets.

Are there any plans to provide a pet-sitting service?

blueparrotb14_ESO

I want a place to store trophies. And pets. I have already had to delete a number of trophies because space is too expensive and I just do not have enough space to keep knick knacks. Why don't we have housing? A place where we can display our trophies?

smassareub17_ESO

I think it great that ZOS is going to give rewards to players. That adds to the fun in an already pretty amazing game imho. However, I agree with many posters that bag space is at a premium in the game. What I would LIKE to see is the "Q" ring for pots that, once you slot the items, actually removes them from your bag inventory and a "P" ring for pets...ditto. That way you can select the pet-of-the-moment at will and have your bag and bank space a bit less full. One for the trophies that animate would be nice too but that may be asking too much.

TO EVERYONE ASKING ABOUT THE "DO MY 3 MONTHS HAVE TO BE CONSECUTIVE"

Perhaps they'd let us customize our character's appearance as well, due to the glitch on the first day of release where you couldn't zoom in. Many people including myself botched their characters and don't want to make new characters. It'd be nice to have this as a loyalty gift.

At first look this is a pretty thing, that's for sure.
But when you think one step further, there is one little, nagging thing that's making me wonder.

The program has been introduced to us so everyone can see that a player has been subscribing for at least 3 month. And this is called loyalty.
But what about those of us who are here right from the start, maybe even five days before the start (pre-release) and didn't cancel the subscription for a single day? Those who continued playing even though there were issues and problems and tons of doubts?

Please, don't missunderstand me. I don't want a special gift for playing this game. I even don't like those pets - mine are all rotting at the bank.

For me it's about the term loyalty. If it's loyal to subscribe for three month in a period of now almost five and more to come, how are players defined that play longer without subscription gaps? Wich term is used for them? Is there a climatic of loyalty in ZOS' definition?

Let's bring this one step further...

What about those of us who have been playing since July last year then and spending hundreds, if not a thousand+ hours on PTS over that time ?

I would say they logically will just use accured total paid time on the live game, not continuous time in a chunk, for determining what rewards you're eligible for.

I pretty much played daily since start buddy. When I Snipe Paul Sage tomorrow in Cyro, Ill ask him kindly if he can transfer my Loyalty bonus to you ;-p

I really don't care. I'm so freakin happy where the game is and where we going.
Still big challenge for Paul to create the Champion system so it works long term and "slots" with all other additions.

I got a steady 6 month healthy sub with a visa, on resub of course.

Sandmanninja

Honestly, this is the kinda thing I like to see. Gear I chuck out as I out-level it. My bank is for mats to craft stuff and neat toys.

ken.otwellb14_ESO

Very nice--- but I'd still rather have access to the character creator to update my look...

There should be a separate collectibles tab next to the achievement tab where all our vanity pets and useless quest trinkets are stored.

I agree on this.

MercyKilling

Great. Another pet I didn't want and will immediately delete from my precious inventory space.

Eryndae

Want it now!

Phaserburn

If we were unable to play the game at launch and have only played the game for 2 months. Can we purchase extra game time to qualify?

Maximilian

Excellent job

tolman8rb14_ESO

I'd like it if people like me who preordered and paid since day one world have all the perks people who've signed up later have gotten, like dog followers.

better then some lame cat.
