    Totally stole the idea from over here:
    Wizard Tower Break-in
    But it was too good not to place here as well.

    What if you could buy/get your own mimic to place in your house?
    They have already talked about placing pets in the house, so why not a surprise for snooping guests wandering into your private quarters?

    I think this would make an awesome pet. Maybe it would be a non-combat mimic. It would just sit there, scare an unexpected thief, jump around or chase you for a little while and then return back to its closed position.

    unless this is a FAKE mimic that does nothing except look cool in your house, this is a terrible idea.


    on the other hand, a purchase-able Mimic jack in the box (that looks like a real one) that springs open when u walk to close to it as a house decoration, now THAT is an excellent idea.

    :)

    Or even a mimic pumpkin that jumps at ppl for Halloween to decorate your front door for R11.

    Cosmetic items == perfectly awesome.

    Selling mechanics is when you are going to get a lot of ppl pissed off about perceived p2w stuff in the store.

    Seriously, what is the difference between a non-combat pet cat and a non-combat pet mimic?... :eek:

    Yep. it should spring to life when something approaches close enough, and then wander around for a few minutes before settling back into the spot it was placed. (If it can't reach the spot it was placed, then there should be a timeout causing it to reappear there)

    True, but that's the only way it'll ever get on the Add On Store -- and if there's also an in-game way to purchase or tame as well. :)

    Now if we can also get a non-combat pet spider dog.
