I have been looking at the idea of making my server more friendly to solo play and I have a few ideas.

1. I want to add some potions and food & drink that will regenerate health and mana during non-combat (yes like in WoW) I can then place them on vendors in major cities and even make some changes to trade skills to create them.

2. I would like to have some NPC's in a couple major cities that can be hired to help you out. They would become your pet for as long as your logged on and would have a price to pay them. There could be warriors and clerics and maybe some other class if it was needed and they would help in combat just like a normal pet would.


I see the first idea as easy and I'll be doing that soon. My question is the second idea... is there a way in perl to make an event that when the npc is hailed and given the proper money he will then be bound to you? I was thinking that you could have the event direcharm activate or something to make it easier. I like the idea in eq with the vet awards and one is a pet that heals and buffs you... this is what im going for.
