Kitty Conundrum
by garald4

While playing the game several months ago I came across this fun bug which let me create duplicates of my "Small Pets". I am writing this just to share some of the great moments I had while walking the barrens with 20 Silver Tabbys.

I have not tried to duplicate my Silver Tabby for some time now. The last real romp I had with my kitty involved someone asking me to unsummon the kitty as it was "Visual and Network Disturbance". The unnamed person reported me to a GM and my tales of Kittydom ended there.

I am posting some of the more entertaining screen captures along with a short description of how the bug worked.

First the how. The bug worked by Hearth stoning to the Crossroads (probably could be done anywhere, but XR worked consistently) during major lag, back when you could appear somewhere and nothing was there yet. If no one was in town, including the mailbox I would summon my Small Pet and it would appear and instantly disappear. This is how I knew the bug was working. I would do this several times and when everything else loaded I would be standing in a circle of Kitties. When other players asked I told them it was the hearth lag bug for kitty duplication.

Now the pictures. I hope you enjoy.
