✭✭✭✭✭Maybe.This is why we can buy crowns with gold, so we can make impulse buys like a pet rock and not feel bad after

You can just drag one to a desk and save the crowns, right?
Unless, of course, it does something special.
Highly doubt it will do something special but you are right. Lmao.
Perhaps...?
ok if it does this then maybe, assuming that non pet msorc gets less trash between now and when it goes on sale. otherwise i have vodka to buy1 -

✭✭✭Why would I want a pet rock?Look, i understand Tamriel is a magical place and all.
But if the broomstick horse is just as fast as a normal mount, and during the entire year i see people using a broomstick mount while being followed by a rock....? The game will have become silly and un-TES like. I doubt i would stick with it really.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

In the 70's and 80's people sold pet rocks in real life (mainly in the USA but I saw them in the UK too, not sure about the rest of the world). Some of them were literally just a rock in a box which made all kinds of silly claims about it's suitability as a pet and all the fun kids could have with it. Some had googly eyes glued on to make it a bit more pet like.
They were still sold in the 90's and are actually still around now, but no where near as popular. I've seen them in other games before too. Main ones I remember are Neopets (where they were pet pets - literally a pet for your pet) and Guild Wars 2.
Which is why I'm expecting they might follow you around - because they do in other games. Not fully animated of course, the GW2 one just bounces along (I assume it's a magic rock, but then part of the story of that game is everything in the world has magical energy of some sort).
That and it's being advertised as a pet rather than a furnishing, so I assume I can equip it as a pet when my character is out in the world, and it's not just going to stay in one spot indefinitely while I move around the zone. Of course it could just periodically 'teleport' to you like other pets do if they get stuck, but it would be so much better if they added a bit of animation to it.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

He claims the original pet rock product was in reality an very funny book.
Yes guess it was copied as you can hardly copyright the idea but the book was obviously copyrighted.
Guess people bought it for the giggles to.Grinding just make you go in circles.

ZeusChaos25✭✭✭Yes.I'd die laughing if it was a rock that is tied to your character's waist via a string or something so that it follows you around.
I wouldn't be able to play the game if that was the case, too busy laughing. lolWar doesn't forge character, it reveals it.

$4 a piece, over 1.5 million units sold in the space of 12 months (1975-76) in the US alone; that's some serious business!

✭Why would I want a pet rock?NO! I don't like the rock pet, I don't want the rock pet, but I'm sure as hell if a day free crates will come back and the rock is in them, I'll freaking find it.
I'm sure because all the crappiest things EVER I despised the most, I found them ALL!
on a side note, @ZOS what about the Siamese Cat? Put it in the Store ffs, mesh and textures already there, just put it on sale please! There is other people too requesting the Siamese, do you even bother to read the threads in the Crown Store section?
Recently I don't, at the time I used to, there were quite many posts about the Siamese.lll
"I really don't know who the **** came off with this change. Definitely somebody who does not play the game, that's for sure".

People said similar things when the Crown Store opened and things like the frost mare and nightmare courser mounts were released. And again with the Apex mounts from the crown crates.
