Miscellaneous: Mage Pets level 24+ not in-game on Classic launch

[skorge]

There was no way to get a pet past level 20 on launch day. My first character on launch (April 1999) was a human mage. I got him to 24 and was surprised that Verant did not have pets past level 20 in the game at the time. There was no way to research or buy pets post 20.

I know Green is coming up and was wondering if P99 will stay true to this element? I do not have the exact day they added them, as I quit my human mage at level 24 (hated using the level 20 pet still) and made a druid. It had to be a good bit into the game, maybe 2-3 months or so.
