I was just thinking...Follow

...about EQ2 and the thought that popped into my head actually made me laugh out loud...

Does anyone here remember when for one "brief shining moment" a game update went live that included the ability for players to attack animals in the home towns and villages?

I think the intention was for us to aid in pest control (by enabling us to attack and kill rats and other vermin) but the net result was the wholesale slaughter of all the local named cats and dogs who lived in the starter housing areas!

I remember that folks went postal on the O-forums because players were killing their domestic favorites! Good times...

Ya, that was pretty funny. A lot of people were up in arms over the repeated killing of one of the named piglets.
