01/29 - Pet Summoning still bugged
Since a fellow player posted about this on our forum again today, I want to repeat my warning to all you tamers out there that Crystal Balls of Pet Summoning are still not working as intended. Even though OSI doesn't seem to find it necessary to keep players informed that these summoning balls may delete the pet linked to them, the Game Masters are obviously telling people it's a "known issue" that is being "looked into".
In a nutshell: As convenient as it may be at times, if you don't want to risk losing a pet to the malfunctioning summoning ball, don't link it to one.
