Pet's Performance

In a post on the Save Pet Society blog the author requests (on behalf of many of us) "If it is infeasible to develop new themes, we would be more than happy for things to stay as they are, so long as we can still visit our pets. The thousands of items (clothing, furniture, decor, etc.) Playfish has already designed for this game are enough to keep us happy for years."

I wholeheartedly agree.  The artists and designers of Pet Society really understood how to create useful (in fact, multi-useful) items and settings that could mix and match in virtually limitless ways.  To prove the point, I went into Pet Society yesterday and created a series of vignettes, depicting the 14 canon shows in the Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire, to show how versatile the existing stock can be.

So, in order of initial production date:

Thespis, or, The Gods Grown Old

Trial by Jury

The Sorcerer

HMS Pinafore, or, The Lass that Loved a Sailor

The Pirates of Penzance, or, The Slave of Duty

Patience, or, Bunthorne's Bride

Iolanthe, or, The Peer and the Peri

Princess Ida, or, Castle Adamant

The Mikado, or, The Town of Titipu

Ruddigore, or, The Witch's Curse

The Yeomen of the Guard, or, The Merryman and his Maid

The Gondoliers, or, The King of Barataria

Utopia, Limited, or, The Flowers of Progress

The Grand Duke, or, The Statutory Duel

And there you have it.  A concrete example of how many different looks I was able to get with my existing inventory and a few free minutes.  Even if the game was not updated, there would still be plenty of play value.  So I urge EA to consider keeping the game alive, or sell the property to a company that would continue to run it, even if they never updated it.  My pet still has stories she wants to tell.
