From what I recall,

Taming was mainly a profession of skilling and perhaps vanity/bragging rights ect. Good for whip/taming skills, which I guess allowed you to go grab higher mobs ect. (there were no real feasible options back then, like rocktropians now for whip skilling)

The Animal brush, and the Whip are the main tools needed, and the pet food.

You had to stable them and feed them, and brushes would help the mood I believe, as they would get moody if not fed or whipped too much. (something along those lines)

It did fuel a need for papplon that we don't need as much now for the pet food (nutrio bars).
Those were actually decent for a noob to refine and sell.


The practical use was pretty limited to the ability to rename one and let it sit somewhere as a portable ad.
Aside from that, there really wasn't much they would do for you.

hope it helps....goin off a fading memory ;)
 
4 years ago in a galaxy far away, on a small colonist outpost called Calypso Taming existed. MindArk decided it wasn't worth bringing back, yet for many it was a vital part of the game. They have done a lot of new things in the last few years. Taming is the last area we want fixing above all else.
 
Made me laugh but wasnt what i was looking for.

I also started after taming was destroyed (read: VU10), but from everything I've heard about it, it basically boiled down to ego-tripping, vanity, and most importantly: mobile text advertisement carriers.

Really. They had no practical purpose whatsoever. Even AfterWorld, no matter how primitive, let you use your pets for doing damage. Same with STO (Star Trek Online), and I suspect many if not all games (be they MMO's or single-player) with pets allow the pet to perform some useful duty.

Not in EU. They were walking text advertisement posts. Period. What disturbs me the most is that the MA people responsible for this aren't even ashamed, or even saddened by their lack of creating something both fun and useful.

Again, this is from what I've only heard, but the people I've heard it from makes me believe my recollection is 100% correct.
 
The old taming was pretty much there for fun. Some were pretty skilled in that profession as well.

Truth is, the only thing those pets were good for, was advertising. They were renamed to website links.

Have you seen how people take out all of their vehicles in one spot for no reason? The same was back when taming was around... people simply placed several pets to piss off people at swamp camp.
 
My son and me bought a couple of snables , fed them and brushed them and had some fun with them ,

The thing is it was FUN and something to do .


also remember : lay down , slide , taming ,old sweating graphics and many other old odd things lost from game .
 
You could get them to do certain tricks and they would follow you around too.:)
 
For me, when loot was shit, there was Taming. Now I log out and play something else instead. Back then I'd whip, brush, feed and train pets all day long working on gaining more skills so I could handle more pets at one time.

I found it great fun to do (something sorely missing from EU these days), was great for socialising and newbies always wanted to know how to do it. I'd often take people off, show them how to tame, and then give them their first pet. They could always sell it if they wanted but it was still some free ped for them. I also used to take my pets hunting with me for a laugh and get knocked all over the place as they had terrible control.

Now I'm just resigned to having wasted all that time and ped for over 50+ levels in Taming skills which have been totally useless for coming up to 4 years.
 
some guys were doing taming just for selling the related skills - there was little profit in it.


J.
 
The purpose of Taming was to get Taming skills of course :).

I miss my pets :(, I still have them in storage, I couldn't bring myself to TT them even when I chipped out and left.\

Also what Nadie said; it was a nice activity that you could do semi-afk while reading a book or watching tv, that wasn't as lame as sweating. I used to do it whenever my peds were low between deposits, with Nutrio from fruit that I found myself.

I so wish I could find a video of the two large maturity diakiba that were brought into P.A. a few times. They would get a command then glitch to aggro everyone including the pet owner/owners nearby. They would not activate the turrets or take weapon damage. The move command near the turrets after they were pushed into position was what set them off. :laugh:

I think that issue was fixed before taming died though. I could never get mine to behave that way after I started taming.
 
The main purpose of taming was to give people the ability to complain that taming hasn't been reintroduced.
 
Ok..Then we do it.


Year 2010..

Latest Buzz from MA.

Taming

This long awaited system is to be reintroduced in 2012, with many new features all have been waiting for; we expect the wait to be worth it!

Year 2013...

http://www.entropiauniverse.com/bull...dress-2013.xml

They did write.

Taming
Many of our more patient participants will be happy to hear that a completely redesigned taming system will be developed in 2013. The new taming system will include many of the features from the pre-CryEngine system, along with many new and exciting features that will expand the utility of tamed creatures. Additionally, one of the upcoming new Entropia Universe planets will make extensive use of the new taming system as a core aspect of the planet’s theme.
Have to see what happends.....

They say "taming system will be developed in 2013" So its not sure we will get it in year 2013.



Seeing what has happened briefly

2010 = MA lied to os.

2011 = MA act diplomatically.

2012 = MA lied to os.

2013 = We have to see.

Back in time was the pets also used in pvp because they made it harder to kill you and the pets couldent be killed in pvp from the other avatar, later on MA made new rules -> no pets in pvp.
 
In short, it was much less than you'd expect but for many it meant much more than you'd imagine.

Mine are on display in my apartment. Just stands with no info or anything but still on display to help me never forget my poor pets including my NibblesNotAlot (Female SnableSnot young).:cry:
 
btw if you tamed a mob back then, you still got its loot. (so it was like hunting with benefits, i got my highest exa loot from my own pet, 48peds or something like that)
 
How much did it cost for upkeep if you did it full time lets say?... Like 3 hours a day... Or any examples if possible

Bad news i am afraid here - from Bonnies translation interview

Bonnie: Ok so if we are talking about designing older systems then you know which question is coming next. Kombinator’s and Roni both ask it –….. taming!! I know we can’t do specific dates on when it’s going to come out, but how’s the progress is coming with it?

Kim: Well lets say that I have bad news there…
Bonnie: Oh go on…

Kim: yeah.. its pretty much in the same state as fishing actually, for the moment. It only exists on paper. Simply because it’s a massive system, we want to do it right this time. But then the health maturities you saw the last time around with the taming system, and no I can’t give dates because we done it so many times in the past and schedules tend to change.

Bolded part means it need AT LEAST half year of implementing + testing. And since Kim clearly states they will focus on other things first... i woudl not expect taming before 2015...

Nah that was just something MARCO the guy that used to be in charge hinted at a few times, also at the stables there was statues of animals being ridden and there was also an allophyl in MA offices i think being ridden, all these things were just to perpetuate the bullshit that was taming.
