    Please add value to our game through the ability to have the extra characters on our accounts become hunting companions.

    We currently have animal taming, which works in a very similar fashion to companions.

    That's no small programming feat to pull off, yet being so similar to taming, it could be included in the taming tree skill as "leadership or charisma"... or whatever.

    This would increase the need to equip our companions and thus add value to our game through our coto store in many different ways. A pet can't use equipment, yet a human companion can.

    I don't know how difficult or easy a feat in programming that actually would be, but...

    Greetings Time Lord,
    I am not opposed to this idea but it will need to be managed. For instance only 1 alt ant a time and the alt does not gain any extra exp for grouping. I really don't see it happening though. Too many ways it could be exploited, Fast training new alts, and the AI that wold need to be build to apply to every user created alt and what skills to use when and mesh paths for their movement.

    It could be a summons. Instead of summoning an elemental or skeleton, how about summoning a knight or mage buddy that worked the same way. LOTRO does this with the Captain class.
