Lineage II Pet Developer Diary

And I Will Hug Him, and Squeeze Him, and Call Him George!

In most of the modern MMORPGs, the existence of pets is almost an essential. Players love collecting the little critters and enjoy watching them and their fun little animations. The players of Lineage II are particularly fond of their pets, so much so that the developers elected to write a developer diary about this process. The Ten Ton Hammer staff has hosted the dev diary for everyone to read and enjoy!

Fenrirs are also special because players can use them as mounts—when summoned, they can climb on the pet and use it in battle. Previously, Striders were the only common mountable pet (clan leaders who controlled castles could summon and mount Wyverns, but that is a special case). Besides looking cool, there are some real tangible benefits to mounting a pet.
