Good luck in your search
Some of my fondest MMO memories are from having pets. The 2 that I remember the best are UO, which is not in your requirements, and SWG. SWG no longer has the same kind of pet class it used to, I was a Creature Handler back in the good days and it was a blast. The only other game that came close to that was a Tamer in UO.
For me it was more fun to go out hunting for that unique and/or powerful pet, tame it and train it as your own. It felt more like a true extension of your character and not just another spell in your arsenal with a creature skin. |

Yeah Gendail....miss those days I play WoW since I left SWG/NGE. I rolled a hunter of course...but it's just not the same. I had quite a business in Mining, Hunting, harvesting, supplying mounts....several nice homes....I truely miss the pre NGE SWG...and YES...the most gratifying part was spending weeks tracking down a rare pet and taming him. I would so like to see another mmo like pre NGE SWG...it had sooooo much to do.
I've seen things, you...people, wouldn't believe... . Attack ships on fire, off the shoulder of Orion... . I watched C-Beams, glitter in the darkness near the Tannhauser Gate... . All those...moments will be lost in time... . Like...tears...in the rain... |

Unfortunately I have to agree...it is sad...but I'm still looking. WoW is getting old hat. Even with their updates and patches it has turned into a gear grind.

City of Villains mastermind class. Have a choice between commandos, thugs, ROBOTS, zombies, and ninjas.. they each have their own trait.. obviously because robots don't kill the same as zombies. You also get to choose a second powerset, to support your pets. Dark, poison, traps, archery.. All of the summons have a ranged attack, and melee.. you can get a bind pack to further your control. From there you can pretty much command their every move, and make them do sweet dance moves.. There are 3 tiers of pets.. you have the goons, the lieutenants, and the boss.. (3 goons, 2 lts. 1 boss) you'll have the full set at I believe level 38.. until then it's not exactly hard, but once you get the last guy in there.. "you'll" be stomping everything.
Thug/poison was my powerset of choice, there is no "best".. because COV/COH is about what button you press, and when you press it.
As stated before, when SWG-emu (which rolls back crap SWG to its original blissful state.. which we all came to love, and skip our jobs/classes/meals for) then it will have a rock solid creature handler class.. full of Star Wars creatures, and diversity. -------------------------------------------------- |

The Masterming can start, at level 1, with a pet (they usually all do, but you could take an attack instead if you want...then at level 2, you are presented the option to take a new power)...at level 6, you summon 2 pets instead of 1...at level 12, you can select a new power with another pet...eventually you have 6 pets from your primary, 3 nearly identical (the 3rd may be slightly different), 2 nearly identical "officers", and 1 leader pet. - "If I understand you well, you are telling me until next time.

One thing that always irked me as a mastermind though is, COV is full of zoning.. and you lose your pets once you zone in or out. Even for a split second, or log in or out. So you have to spend 1 minute to re-apply upgrades to them (which is a must)
Here is the link to the free trial.. just remember you want to make the character as a villain, not a hero. Heroes don't have a minion class. http://www.mmorpg.com/freetrials/cohissue11_trial.cfm -------------------------------------------------- |

Star Wars Galaxies still has a pet system under the name of Beast Master. It's a rather indepth system and the process of actually creating your pet is rather complex. Your final crafted pet will be a very effective weapon - my Beast Master/Bounty Hunter can take on alot of things solo that aren't generally soloable. |

Warhammer Online will have the Squig Herder class for the goblins (Squig or Squib? I always forget)
Basically a pet breeder/warrior class. But you have to wait for it to launch first, or pray to whatever gods you beleive in for a beta invite. LOL

Originally posted by BaldyMike It has simillarities to BE, but it's also rather different in many other ways too. Over the last 2 years, a number of pre-nge themed features have been returned to the game - although in most cases done in a different way to what it was back then. |

Anarchy Online has 3 pet professions (engineer/meta-physicist/bureacrat) engi has a big robot and on later lvls (with shadowlands expansion) a dog (next to the robot) who hits v hard but doesnt have much hp, mp has a heal, mezz and combat pet, at later lvls the combat pet transforms from a "floating meatball" in a demon, crat has one attack pet but can "charm" any mob that isnt very high compared to the crat, so crat has 2 attack pets, at later lvls he can charm unbelievable powerful mobs and can solo a lot, just takes a while.. the crat can even have 3 pets at the same time with a 2nd very short charm nano |

I would try Rappelz. Pets play a major part on your abilities in that game. |
