still need someone to answer my questions before i buy one (if at all)
there it goes:

1) do they fight at all?
2) can u use them with a normal pet also?
3) do they get attacked or can die?
4) if the answer for question 1 is possitive then: how strong they are?
5) if its negative: do they have any use besides decoration? or its like the collectors eddition's dance?
6) are the ones who bought the collectors edition the only that can get the box when they get to 1 years old?
7) are the minipets doing any sound? (like the howl of the wolf) or saying anything? (like the funny things the henchies use to say)

thanks

They are only there to look good, make sounds. Birtday presents are handed out when your chars turn 1 year old. A thank you present is when you buy the CE and you get the fire breathing mini dragon. They arent really pets as such.

1. No they don't, they just follow you about and make noises sometimes
2. Yes you can still have your normal pet follow you, but the mini-pets won't attack or follow pet skills.
3. They cannot attack, they cannot die.
4. No answer, see 1
5. They are only a decoration, like the CE Dance. For showing off
6. The people with the Factions CE get an extra special mini-dragon pet. However ANY character is which 12 months or older will get a random pet as well. Just make sure you have space in your inventory.
7. Mini-pets don't say anything (Far as I know), but some of them do make sounds.

Yes.

Just Decoration.

Yes they can get both the mini kunaavang and their 1 year old pets.

They make noises. Although I've only used the troll, so I don't know about things like rurik or shiro.

They're just as functional as a goldfish. Except for the fact that you don't need to give them a flush funeral when they die. (which they don't)

People say type /age - but doesn't /age show how many hours you've spent on GW? I'll never reach 12 months if that's the case... :/

/age lists hours played and also how old the character is. Account stats are included as well.
