Actually, the type of name the banker gets depends on the type of pet you set him to in the spell settings. The one I am currently using sets it to the name of the player that summoned it (example; Trevazar's Pet) and it says "EQEmu Banker" underneath for the lastname of the NPC. I imagine with some experimenting, it would be possible to get a quest working for all summoned pets. I believe I have heard of people using them to return all items that are given to them so that quest items don't get turned into the pet by mistake. Of course in that case, you would still have to allow for summoned weapons and items to be turned in. It would be nice if there was a way to do a check against a certain item stat like NO RENT or whatever when making a quest.

If you set it to be a normal pet, it will spawn with the Goner or Kobaner or whatever names like normal. Or you can set it to be a familiar, or swarm pet, etc etc. I set mine to have 2 min recast timer and is temporary and only lasts 2 minutes. It also only has 1 HP and hits for 1. And I believe it is set to "H" special attack code so it can't attack other NPCs. I forget offhand, but I made it to be minimal exploit risk.

I know it isn't revolutionary or anything. But I hadn't seen it on any other servers yet and have been looking for new and interesting ideas to help enhance my server. My most recent one is an NPC in Nexus that changes the race of characters as they zone in, just for a little extra fun.
