Not gonna lie I still think about this game off and on. It's the purest form of madness induced art in an MMO form I've ever seen.

Oh no. Heavy grind. Whatever shall I dooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

The new character cooldown is an interesting idea though, not gonna lie.

I dunno if anyone has noticed I basically exist as a being of pure obsessive passion, and want to drag other people into it. Like some insane lovecraftian creature but instead of horrors its "hey look at this cool game I found".

Also 9Dragons added to THE LIST.

The "Pet Classes in MMOs" list has been updated, and is now available in both ODS and XLSX formats. I should also probably come up with a catchier name for this. The original post is updated with new links, as well as a changelog added to the thread:

Nice to finally see them realize miners are a core part of the eve online world. Only took... forever.

As a career industrialist (mainly mining) player in Eve Online, this update is calling me back into the game:

Alphas can now actually have a mining focus (with Mining Destroyers), and omegas can have some weird mutated crit build mining bullshit?

....I just added 24 games to the list to check for pet classes. Oh my god this is gonna take some time.

So time to crack a beer and play some Dragon Quest X for a bit instead then work on this later.

I love indie games, and I love MMOs, so having a dev just be like "nah I do this because I want to" is great. We'll be trying this out on stream to see if theres any real pet/summon/minion mechanics, but also because shit I kinda remember reading about this when it started development.

Gen Denelith @gendenelith.bsky.social · 8h

Has a magic skill line that mentions summoning natural creatures so it goes in THE LIST, but also I gotta respect any MMO that has this in its about section:

"It's made as a hobby and so no budgetary constraints will stop development of the world or prevent the addition of new ideas."

Gen Denelith @gendenelith.bsky.social · 8h

None of my IRL friends are huge into MMOs nowadays, but one we used to play really fucking obscure MMOs back in the day because we had no money so picked up the weirdest shit because it was free. Hit him up for ideas and he mentioned Planeshift.

Shit I remember this, and its still in development.

No I don't want optional AI addons.

I WANT TO SHOW A FUCKING SPREADSHEET.

Damn, the options for alternates to Google Sheets all kinda suck from what I'm seeing. Breeeh. At this rate I may just end up doing my own version of it on my website, using something like the DataTables library for sorting/filtering/etc. and ease of display.

Also as discussed on stream, gonna do some more work on the pet class document this evening and as part of it I'm gonna have it output in multiple formats so people can more easily do it, like an online-viewable one. Once I figure out what the options are. Not Google Sheets, obviously.

We leveled ranger! We leveled warrior! We started the warrior artifact quests and got a surprisingly sudden lore dump. We also babysat some kids as an excuse to hang out with Halver's cute sister. We also got to see one of said kids dropkick a dude down into a river, so that was cool.

We're finally back to Final Fantasy XI after a bit of an unscheduled break from it! So now time to do something. I've forgotten what, but something. Probably. #twitch #youtube #vtuber #golive

The grand list of Pet Classes in MMOs has been posted on the forum! You can go here to download the current version of the spreadsheet, and you can also join the forum to help out by adding stuff I've missed! Which is likely a lot.

It's in the "Other" section for a reason. When they drop their ground-based bubbles (geolocures) it is based on the 'luopan'. The luopan is an invisible... thing which internally in the game counts as a pet. So technically a pet class, but not really.

Gen Denelith @gendenelith.bsky.social · 1d

Also added some borders to break up the individual games for better mental delineation noooow I gotta stop looking at this fucking document I wanna play a game.

Gen Denelith @gendenelith.bsky.social · 1d

I somehow forgot to add using Drones in Eve Online to the list. It's about as "pet class" as you can get in Eve Online. Especially with carriers and stuff. So that'll be in there the next time I update the document.
