current stable menue
There are a great many things that annoy me in UO, tiny tiny things that could be easily fixed..and ive decided that im just gonna get on here and gripe about them like everyone else does. So lets start with stabled pet menues. I have bought tokens to have extra pet slots, which means i have right around 30 or so pets currently.... i am also old and senile and remembering what Dr. Mombo is is completely out of the question when i cant even remember where i laid my cordless phone.. so this is what i propose... a more hassle free pet menue, a menue where u not only see the name of the pet you are claiming but u also see what exactly that pet is. i threw this together on photoshop. \
now with menue u could see what your pet is, and in the case of CUs u could also see what color they are. you could also click on the Pet info button just to the right of said pet and see all the info you could access by loreing you would simply scroll down to see the full info
and while im on the subject of pets, you have these nifty critters here which i would love to use because i love snakes but for some reason they can only be 2 slot pets....Kyronix i have bugged you about this for years now and i have no plans on stopping with that any time soon Giant Ice worms can only go to 2 slots, a bull can go to 4.....giant ice worms can eat cows.... see how much sense this is making...
^ really needs his slots raised to 5
more gripes to come with photos!

I, too, wish there were more 5-slot pet possibilities. I'd even accept a 5 slot "token" available via the uo store which, if bought, turns any tamable pet into a pet tameable up to five slots. I would -kill- for a 5 slot black bear pet that is like another non-mountable pet.
i love that token idea! i would pay to make my snake a killer lol...
I wish we could remove a pet by name if the name has a space. You can not do that in CC.
Good idea.
While nicest is most pleasing, quicker, easier might be more possible?
My idea would be to take the Magincia stalls menu, remove the price column and change the 'buy' option to 'claim'. Something like this:
A lot of waste space there, but you get the general idea?
I'm much like you with stable slots, I have a lot of pets, and it can get quite hard locating them in the long list of names - especially when you move one out and the whole thing shifts around.
I also like the idea of the slot increase item. However, if they were to make such item there would have to be some pets that would be excluded, such as the small birds, cats, hares etc. as they could cause some problems, being hard to target by other players. I think that's why they changed the phoenix when they did.
But in my opinion, every pet (except the really small ones) should be able to go to 5 slots. This is a role playing game, so if I wanted demon slaying great hart, that wouldn't be much more strange than a giant slug that spews magic, or a big wolf-creature that somehow has the ability to apply bandages on its wounds. Not to mention that lions and tigers can be trained to 5 slots, but bears, cougars, wolves, gorillas etc. can not.
