I purchased a pet. When I click a pet in my room, the activation indicator does not appear.
Currently, only 1 pet is active.

I logged into your account to check your issue. I clicked right button without any problem and window for choosing pet appeared.

yes.
to activate a new pet u should not have 2 old pets with u. Max. pets u can take is 2.
That mean 1 u should place in house or stable or kill it by urself with "-" on pet.
Than you can activate a new pet !

You have to take pet-item out of house into your bacgpack. activate it if you have it in your bag.

Than it should work.


If comp. saied it works...than it works !


Good luck bro and gratz for your new pet :)

Greetings ... SK :)

@SK1976, did you really suggest that they "kill" their pets? Can we please refer to the removal of pets as "dismissing" them not "killing" them!?!?

Do you have any idea how many organizations would come down on the makers and GMs of Forgotten Tales?

WAPeR - Wizards Advocating Pet Rights
NAVTM - NPC's Against the Violent Treatment of Monsters
PARU - People's Animal Rights Union
FoTaPG - Forgotten Tales Players Guild

And.. Those are JUST to name a few!

NAVTM can just forget it. Monsters attack me, I attack back!

but you forgot:
SAAMFP - Swordsmen and Amazons Against Mistreating of Family Pets.

I've been against "killing" of pets for a while now.

I've even suggest "setting them free" and watching them walk to the nearest map edge and cross over, "blink gone", the border.

F · R · E · E · D · O · M · !!!

Code: Select all

╔═══════════════╗
║ FREE OUR PETS ║
╚═══════╦═══════╝
        ║
        ║
     ═══╩═══

OK Back on topic.
Looks like Comp got it.
Cannot activate a pet "in house" only "place in Bag or "Remove from house and Drop" in one action.

Of course when you are ready to change a pet it asks " do you want to remove this pet?" and if you choose yes that is what happens. But we cannot forget that the game animations when a pet is removed crumble to the ground with the animation of dying! So...I don't like it either but the game mechanics interprets a remove pet as kill your pet. I would prefer a flash of light and a message proclaiming " your pet has now retired and can now enjoy it's reward" and just disappear to petland but alas compbatant will have to see this and rethink if a kindness should substitute the current way of dismissal of pets.

You should totally try to remove a pet on the test server now. They don't die! ;)

@LostKnight, I'm going to be quite honest with you.. I've never been a fan of SAAMFP's more militant tactics but... I did buy their shirt at a fundraiser. Let's just keep that between us though!
