 though I'll add my input that I'd prefer it if we didn't get a ton of items out of this, let's try to keep it focused on pets as much as possible. Tiny stat boosts, increased happiness and potentially having pets get fed an item or two would be great

 what if you want your pets to be friends and they get in a fight! It could totally ruin your pets character!

 Quote By @Tansyuduri:what if you want your pets to be friends and they get in a fight! It could totally ruin your pets character! I don't think it really has much effect on the character. It's an event that only you will see, and it won't prevent you from having the pet as a friend. And friends do still have fights, so just think of it that way if you're really bothered by it.

  ), or work on pets in general. I haven't had inspiration to for a while, so it'd be nice to be able to do something else with them too. c: |

 And to go on Magic's idea of some pets not getting along (glaciers/reborns, etc), maybe certain species won't get a long at all! Not like cats & dogs (since they do get along), but maybe some of the dragonish pets wouldn't get along with other dragons (being territorial or whatever). Maybe a Feli doesn't get along with an Archan. Ooh so many fun options!Personally I feel Subeta should have done something like that instead of the custom clothing feature, but who am I to judge...

 That sounds great! Haha.. i'd totally make one of my pets a goldfish in a bowl and get him the brawler title. xD Would we be able to choose if a pet starts fighting or is it random/depending on the species? I wouldn't mind having to pay a small fee.. but i don't see a problem in getting cheap random stuff either. Pumpkin patch is pretty much connected to the minion-finding-thing..achievement. The pet park would be more about being able to interact with your pet in general and is not aiming for huge profit or valueable items. It would be also fun if this could affect our HA as well. Just like the tot monsters and vanishing after xy minutes. Like.. random bruises from your pet pulling too hard on the lash, mud splattered all over your ha, leaves sticking in your hair from falling in a bush and so on.

I admit I do love the pet park idea, but I've never used the pet friends feature on site and usually have it automatically taken out whenever I have pet profiles commissioned so the first feature probably wouldn't be of any real use to me though. That's just me though, and there are probably other pet oriented people that would like the idea.

I love the idea of the leashes having to do with walks or experience. It would make me much more likely to buy one! I also like the idea of a requirement for sP on hand to pay any fighting fees, because doing it by percentage could get rather unfair.

I personally wouldn't like this, as I see the vast majority of my pets as having much more complex, human characters than a cat or dog irl, and when it comes to 'making friends' or 'fighting/making enemies' I'd rather not have randomised things which impose a personality on your character - like the meaningless responses which come up at random when you've fed your pet something. If one of my pets has a relationship with another user's, I'd hate for them to be listed as 'enemies'.

 I really like this idea! I think it could tie in well with the idea @Tansyuduri proposed. I say that because the base personality you could assign your pet would affect it's responses, like how often it would get into fights and such. As long as the personality thing was more in depth than Neopets I think it could be useful. I do commissions! See my profile for details.

I really like this idea. c: More stuff to do with pets would be awesome, especially something of this nature. Quote: I say that because the base personality you could assign your pet would affect it's responses, like how often it would get into fights and such. As long as the personality thing was more in depth than Neopets I think it could be useful. This, too. Some of my characters are particularly aggressive, and I'd be laughing if they got along well with everybody.. xD And some of them are particularly laidback or nice, too! Last Edit by:

I think assigning personalities could work really well with a bunch of questions on a 1-10 scale, and then the system could automatically compare your pet's numbers with another pet's to determine if they would theoretically get along.

I really like this idea. Even it goes against my pets' established ~in-depth human characters~ I think it'd be a lot of fun just to have a bit more pet interaction on the site and be able to do simple things like this, heh.

Love both these ideas.
For the pet park, I agree that it should cost some sP to go there, but if people prefer it be free, then I would suggest that the vast majority of time you get nothing from it, but every once in a while you get one of the prizes - like a stat gain, toy, food, other negative and positive events.

I have trouble being coherent, but: Imo, it would be really awesome if someone has a pet on a leash (I say this because I know people will say both, "that's what the leash is for/I don't want that for my pets") that you can have a sort of event in the park, noticing the pets there. "____ met XYZ today!" -- this way there could be more exposure, and maybe more spotlight nominations hmm? Haha, or a "king of the park" deal. That'd be fun. It'd also be really cool if there were NPCs introduced to it, to add some spice. I don't mean shopkeepers and such, but maybe wild pets. Something I feel subeta severely lacks is "where do the pets come from?" I remember @Corgi (sorry for pinging you, but I think you'd like this suggestion) putting together pet lore; it'd be cool to see that in action. Imagine you're in the park, and your pet runs into a wild Priggle? Maybe your pet gets too curious and gets pricked, losing HP. Maybe running into a certain species gets you a small, special item. Popokos share some seeds with you or something, etc. This is something that would take a lot of time and work (as would the suggestions in their entirety). But enhancing the pet portion of the site, and the non-human, natural lore of the site over time would enrich Subeta as a whole and could possibly bring a lot more new players at the same time. When there's no holiday going on, I get very bored with subeta. A lot of portions feel unfinished and heavily outdated, particularly pets. This isn't counting the creative leeway we have with our pets, of course As for the park idea and "play/fight" idea not fitting for someone's pets, then don't use the feature -- if you don't feel it's something your pet would do, don't do it. I also feel like there should be some sort of restriction in place for the park, just for the sake of keeping some value in it. if the park was free, I think any "rewards" would be very watered down. Maybe there could be a membership for it, hm? Nothing too big, but perhaps like the resort. Sorry for the wall of text, I just got excited

 Bree's suggestions for events that would happen are all wonderful!I personally love the idea of pet interactions with us and other pets. I think it would be a ton of fun to be able to set up a play date for my RP pets with my RP partner. For the fights I think it would be cool for certain species to be more likely to get into fights. Like the darker/meaner pets such as the Darknite, Harvester, Charlie, or Dillema would be more likely to get into fights while the more cutesy/nicer pets like the Popoko, Chai, Ruffie, or Feli would be more likely to get along with their playmate. I am not sure how much work that would take to code or if it would even be possible but it would be cool.

@Aislin
I love your idea!  I actually have something to add if that's alright? I'd love to have a feature where we could pet and hug our pets! It wouldn't be anything more than just for fun. However, we pet and give hugs to our pets in RL, why not here, too?

I really like the idea of doing more with your pets.
I would like to add riding your pet. I have Hikeis, Bovynes, and an Antlephore all of which I would consider as animals that could be ridden. I haven't really thought through how it would be handled and if there is a cost to it or if there are random events attached to it. I just think it would be kind of neat to be able to do this.

 These are both really great ideas. I especially like the idea of a pet park! Maybe set it up you you have a small chance (very small, like .5% - 2%) chance of finding items above a certain rarity. Plus, more random events is always a good thing, hehe. xD |dA Gallery|Trans*Toons||Art by |

 How can I even stand here in this state-like state of disrepair? @Robin Oh, I almost forgot about that! I actually kind of liked how you could answer questions about your pet's personality on Neopets, though I thought it was a little pointless that they never really used it and potentially a tad bit frustrating that it couldn't be changed and yet they displayed it on you pet's profile for everyone to see. If we had something like that for Subeta pets that could be edited as you liked and was actually used for something, I'd totally use it. @Foxit I really like the natural history/lore and pet NPC suggestions. I've always been a little confused about the role of pets, partly because of the fact that so many of the shopkeepers are human and yet a few ambitious pets like the Pawn Shop Demi, the Hustler, and the slightly more reputable Job Agency Irion are still about running their businesses. And other pets just act like pets and don't even seem to talk, like Luna (the Wizard's pet). o_0 Then there's Eclipse, who just looks ferocious and I'm not sure what side of the spectrum he's on, ditto for the terrible Red Rreign, and also for the other BC challengers that look like (somewhat) normal pets. We need some sort of distinction between all of these, maybe through different parts of the Subetapedia or some plot or something, and it would be awesome to see some "wild" Subeta pets who simply live on their own without human companions. (Oh, right, I almost forgot about Peka Glade. XD I remember when it was released, and I guess that's kind of the sort of thing I'm thinking of. It's so forgettable now, though.) @Aislin I really like the idea of visiting other pets and also the pet park suggestion. I think it would be good to make some actual use of Pina Park, but at the same time, I think what you're imagining would probably be better located in or around Riverside Valley. So I don't really care where it would be, I guess. But I see it as being lush and green. I think a small fee from 1,000-5,000 sP might be reasonable to enter the park, though I don't think you should incur any fees within it if they already have that one to cover them all. XD I don't think we should bother keeping track of which pets are friends and which are enemies or that that any interactions should automatically influence future interactions because of the character issues, though I like the potential of both good and bad interactions depending on the answers to the little personality quiz thing, and the idea of some species interacting differently with certain species than in general. If you didn't think the way your pet was behaving was quite suiting to the character, you could always go back and edit it again until you got it right. On another note, I shudder at all the DC clutter the park might generate (stop donating junk, people! XD), being one of the users trying to clean it out, but at the same time, getting free items is kind of exciting and addicting and I'd be all for it. Even if I'll just go and Fragmentize more than half of them. XD I sort of like the pet leash ideas, though I'm too cheap to buy one so I couldn't really use that feature. I currently have the pet leash divs on the pets page hidden in my CustomCSS so that I don't have to have them cluttering up the page. ...Oh, god, I had no idea I had so much to say about this! Sorry to all with shorter attention spans. XD

Oh wow. You guys are geniuses. TOtally love the original ideas and the expansions I've read. This would be so much fun and make putting a lot of sP and time into my pets even more motivating. Plus...I think pets should be used for more than just battles.
Great Ideas ya'll!

   I honestly do like the idea. I think it would be great for Pina Park-- there is nothing there already, this would give users a reason to visit there. I DO NOT think it should be tied in to CSC, though. The site has become less pets, more HA... so basically, we're like Gaia with a FEW Neopets aspects tossed in... Not a Pet Site. I don't think "personality" should be tied to the type of pet-- hell, some people color pets for the pose or overall coloration, but the attitude doesn't match the look (hence the use of overlays). How would the "quiz" be run? How big of an impact would it have on the use of Pet Friends? (These are questions that should be asked before moving forward with this). Overall: I DO like the idea. I agree that more pet-based aspects need to be implemented to the site in order to keep its title as a "pet site".

 How can I even stand here in this state-like state of disrepair? @Shouko My personal preference/understanding is that the quiz would be in a nice, accessible place like the pets.php page or something (although I know that's starting to get kind of cluttered XD), and it would have a small/medium amount of radio buttons or fancy sliders where you could adjust several different aspects of your pet's personality between extremes (with, depending on what the questions were, maybe a few straight yes/no questions too). Since people frequently change their pets' personalities, names, and even species, I can't see any good way of doing it other than having it editable at all times as you change your ideas about your pet or notice it behaving out of character, etc. I also imagine all questions having a default option that would generate generic responses just like if there were no quiz at all, so those who didn't want to bother with the quiz feature could effectively opt out (it would probably just be the option in the middle for radio button/slider questions). A reset button might be nice, too. As discussed earlier in the thread, the "quiz" could affect any new ways of interacting with other pets, new pet-oriented games, or whatever else that it might make sense to involve it in that were introduced later. It would have a huge amount of potential.

@Takumi Sounds like it may work in theory, but what if the "friends" were exact opposites? Its an odd mix, but sometimes it happens. My own fiance and I have veeery little in common, but we're, in my opinion, an awesome pair. XD We fight like cats and dogs, but when its all said and done, we love each other and respect each other's opinions. I could see this as a possible issue, but otherwise, I like the idea.

I'd really like to see more pet features for pets and ways to interact with them. And the whole personality idea would be really complicated but worth it I think since there's so many users who spend a lot of time developing their pet's characters and things like that.

  this does sound like a cool idea, i imagine it could be set up like the dancing in the masquerade, how it shows a set background, but the two different pets who are having the play date in the room. i wouldn't mind something like this(Formerly Kelseybeanieprincess)

I realise that would be a lot of work, but it would be a major draw to the site, if every pet had its own mood and was able to show it.
