Taking care of Orange Cat... Seriously?

Man, I would've loved to have attended the meeting where they first threw out this idea.

I mean, yes, I come from the Tomagotchi/Giga Pets era so I can appreciate tending to a virtual pet. But in LOP? That’s not really a feature I would’ve thought was included in this type of game.

At first I thought it was an activity gimmic, the more you're on the better things will go for you. But then I found out you’re both rewarded and punished (lose items you then have to spend ingots on to retrieve again) for taking care of it. Pardon me devs, but is this supposed to make me want to play the game more?

Anyway, my plan is to upkeep it on both accounts, and see what happens. I'm not spending ingots on the thing. So, if Orange Cat leaves on both accounts... It was nice knowing you while you were around.

UPDATE:

So, now that I've been playing with it a couple weeks, it's really not so bad. I haven't spent an ingot on Orange Cat, and have only encountered the loss of one item so far on one of my accounts (it was a blue tome, if I remember correctly.) I've scoured the FB NA group page and know many are not happy with the feature, siting my above mentioned quirk.

That being said, I'm going to continue with my original plan of only spending silver on Orange Cat. Oh and here's a picture of him! It's kind of adorable... Kind of.
