Well hurry up! LOL

No mention if lost pets will be returned or not.. I don't know if I lost one or not, but a few friends have lost pets that were years old..

I suppose they're telling us to hunt with frenzieds.

I have heard people loosing regular blue beetles also. I don't know how true it is.
I had my pets disappear on me before this notice was given out, and I must have been very lucky because my pet summon balls worked.
Today I couldn't stand it and took out an old mare. I heard a strange noise and when I dismounted the mare was gone LOL (the sound was like a teleport) again I got lucky and although I didn't have a pet ball for that one I saw it was still on my followers list so I logged out and when I logged back in it was on top of me.
I stabled it and left it alone. I give up (until tomorrow).
I doubt they will return lost pets though. They don't usually care that much about it.
There is another bug that if you stable a rune beetle that has been cursed or blessed the next day it will have less hit points. My rune beetle has lost about 40 points that way. It's been happening since AOS and is a "known issue".
People say tamers get all the perks... really they don't.

Yeah, my wyrm disappeared before the patch message. I waited through over 50 help queues and all I got was a go to the website once, and this is a known issue. I've never had any pets disappear on me and when Adon didn't believe me he said I was doing it wrong or something. Then woke up next day and there was the patch message. I don't plan on getting it back, I've already tamed a new one.. Only problem being I don't pvm close to where I used to so getting another one up to those standards is going to be tuff :[

A guy in my guy's guild lost a blue beetle. That's why I was wondering when they said it only seemed to affect pets with magic.

So is this fixed yet? I didn't get a patch so.. And my assist still doesn't freakin' work. It doesn't count resources and my macros continuously play. And when mining or lumberjacking (anything) It doesn't stick resources at your feet if there's a nearby pile. A friend of mine is having the same thing happen. Anybody else having this problem?

Should be...no patch involved...nothing to download.
They take the shards down and publish the code right on them...

Well damn. Then why does my mare keep going wild and running really far after I die. Oh well, thank you!
