FS#5698 - Pet race selection for old characters redoing the quest after the wipe
Several players of old characters who had a Groffel as pet before the quest wipe, and have to redo the pet quest, are unsatisfied that they don’t get a Groffel again, but a Yulbar instead. See: Status of Our Old Pets
May be that Yulbars didn’t exist at all when they got their pet.
May be that Yulbars are somehow preferred now, or there are just no complaints about Groffels so there is a bias about it.
Would it be possible (without extreme efforts) to ensure that redoing this quest creates the same pet race as before? Or would it be possible in cases of old characters redoing the quest after years that they are allowed to chose the race — for emotional reasons?
I think a friend actually got a groffel after the quest wipe and requested to get back his old yulbar. I don't see the reason why that wish was declined. Maybe it requires the sparse time of a dev to modify some DB entry.
