[...] supreme Mania of Mania’s Arcania and Petopia reports that Blizzard does indeed have a plan to help with pet leveling whether it turns out that they need one. My wife turned me on to Petopia [...]

I would SO love speeder pet lvling for lower pets – but I just wish they’d give us one more pet stable slot. I have an alt on another server just to lvl up that pink flamingo (Mazzranache) because I think it would be hysterical to have that at a high lvl, maybe even in battlegrounds. However I’m full up with characters on my main server, and my hunter there is a gatherer and needs a really workable pet. So far I’m 30 with the Flamingo Experiment and finding it way too amusing. So much so that if they do let us lvl up pets faster I might just consider giving up one of my main hunter’s ultilty pets for this one. Just for the fun of it. In fact I think that extra stable slot would provide us with a lot more “just for the fun of it” excuses for odd/less useful pets.

err think.

I “think” not “thing.”

Well sometimes I do at least.

Is it wrong of me to thing that this ‘plan’ is already in effect for some rare cat (a la chase speed, attack, speed, 1.7 pet skills, lightning reflexes)?

Or maybe I’m just a bitter crab hunter.

Yes, I saw the earlier comment — thanks. I’m hoping to get to these today. By the way, please feel free to e-mail me with lists like this — it’s a lot easier for me to keep track of e-mail than comments. :>

Unrelated, but I don’t know if you get to read older post comments, so this will probably more easily catch your attention…

Some Bugsies I found in Petopia (first ones I had commented on another post, but I repeat all here for completeness):

1) Pet DB is bugged: searching for pets in a zone containing ‘ in the name (Zul’Farrak, Zul’Gurub, Un’Goro Crater, Blade’s Edge Mountains) will yield no results. Most likely something needs to be escaped before passing on to the DB engine! :)

2) Shadowwing Owl comes in “size” 66 too! You only list level 67 but I tamed a 66 as well in the same place.

3) Female Kaliri Hatchling (62, Hellfire Peninsula) is a spawned one but not listed as such in the DB.

4) The Slave Pens is in the DB as “Slave Pens”

5) “Deviate Moccasin (20-21 Elite, The Wailing Caverns)” should be marked as “Quest” as they only spawn after clearing the bosses and taking the escort quest from the guy at the cavern entry.

6) As for #4 above, it may not be critical: The Wailing Caverns displays as “The Wailing Caverns” in game, but is referred to as simply “Wailing Caverns” in the zone returned by the API…
