Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Ten Ton Hammer: You’ll do that be melding two bright pets together?

Melding pets is a way to create a monster that players can't currently capture.

Craig: There’s a host pet and a supporting pet, and if you have the bright pet in the host slow, that’s where you’ll get the upgrade.

I don’t know if you’ve ever played Shin Megami Tensei series, but it’s a lot like that.

There’s also a random chance that you’ll get a completely new pet. That increases as the melding numbers increase; if you’ve melded a pet over three times the chance for mutation increases.

Ten Ton Hammer: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Craig: The unique aspect of it is that the creature might mutate into a monster type that players can’t capture right now. Essentially it’s a way to get something in the game that no one else has.

Ten Ton Hammer: Do players have to control their pets? Or is it a system that’s more AI controlled?

Craig: Pets will automatically assist you if you attack a mob, or you can give them directions to go attack a mob. The weaker classes like to have the aggro nabbed by the pets for them, so they can unleash their spells.

For the pet skills, they can either be auto-cast or manual cast.

Ten Ton Hammer: Essentially, players have as much control over their pet as they want.

Craig: Exactly. Players can have pets come and assist them or they can tell their pets to sit their and watch. The pets are smart; they won’t go run off and attack a monster if you don’t want them to.

Ten Ton Hammer: Is there anything else you’d like to tell Ten Ton Hammer readers and potential Ether Saga Online fans?

Craig: I really just want to let everyone know that this game is accessible to a wide audience of players. It’s definitely an MMO for experienced players, yet a person who’s new to MMOs will play through the game very easily. Someone who wants to get more out of the game can go into the meldings and the monster types and have a much richer experience.
