Remember Project M? Where you could spawn as an NPC?

Yes but only on the test server IIRC

I hope that this comes true. I want to play as an unrooted Vulak. Now that would be sick!

If this was true, and pets are just (obedient) mobs that would have created carnage.

Well they sort of were. Pets used to be able to go "wild" and be kos to everyone. This happened from mages accidentally attacking their own pet if i recall. Or maybe from going linkdead, I can't remember. Either way, every now and then you would run across a nasty mage pet sitting at a zoneline - with the owner long gone.

On tallon zek someone would frequently dump a bunch of mage pets in the pvp arena in freeport and they would go feral. Idk how they did it, but they did it often.

Only on test for a short time i believe.
EDIT- beaten by cd288, who is the winner...

Wait, only on test? I do remember playing as a mob once to twice and then it went away. But i thought it went live, and then it was removed.

But given the state of my memory....

I reckon it was on test a while but made it to live for like less than 1 full day

I don't recall ever logging onto Test but it's possible that I did just to try out playing as an NPC. I just can't remember the server specifics. i've forgotten way more important stuff from that time than this ><

I definitely killed at least one person as a fire beetle or similar. I waited for noobs to attack mobs and then beelined for them while they were engaged.

lol what kind of a monster came up with the idea for project monster.
