Buying the new pet rock?

✭✭Why? I still have my pet rock in its original cardboard crate and wood shaving bedding.sh_shatter wrote: »What's so special about 80's rocks? I am too 90s kid to understand
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.

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.
Sorry but if someone needs a Youtube video to explain it then they don't get it.Edited by Alinhbo_Tyaka on March 20, 2019 9:59PM1 -

✭Why would I want a pet rock?I know, no one cares, but I actually wait until I see the rock pet and the stick mount for real. I still have doubts, these could be just furnishings, because pictures we've seen show these things as furnishings. But if these are real things, real stone dragging behind character, and a ridiculous mount with new model and animations (while we still have cheap and poorly made character walk and run animations), I probably quit the game finally.One of the two of us definitely has gone mad. It only remains to define whether this one is the whole world or just me.

Agreed plank always made me laugh at the fact he was alive as long as you weren't looking. Make the rock change shape size locations maybe like family guy have it randomly pee and leave a puddle.

NoTimeToWait✭✭✭✭✭Yes.Savos_Saren wrote: »I mean.... aren’t there a ton of housing rocks already in the game, right?
You can just drag one to a desk and save the crowns, right?
Unless, of course, it does something special.
Unless all the furnishing slots are occupied. But you could still add one more rock to your stone garden, if it were a pet. Since there are additional slots for pets /irony1 -
ZeusChaos25✭✭✭Yes.Looks like they aren’t all cracked up to be unfortunately. I don’t know if I’ll be buying these, probably save my crowns and gems for the baandari crates.War doesn't forge character, it reveals it.
