I know very well MCH and Hunter class from WOW. There is a good variety of creatures you can tame there aswell, wolfs, scorpions, owls, all sort of cats, raptors, among many others, and there are quite some abilities you can teach. When you learn the Loreability you can scan any grown up wild animal to see if they have specials or not. You can have a max of 3 pet slots, 1 will be out, and 2 will have to be on the stable man. If you keep only 2, you cankeep themuntill you are max lvl, 60, so you can upgrade your pets specials by taming wild ones with better special ranks. You learn those specials after using them for 3 to 30 mns in combat. Ranks for things like bite, or claw go up to Rank 8, and have pet lvl requirements.There is also dash, full speed attack, and a stealth for cats that gives he's first attack more damage. You tame grown up animals, and can order them to attack, stay, follow, order to use specials, and set behavior to passive, defensive, or agressive. It's medievel, but landscape is nice, untill you reach all your goals. There are always surprises, since the areas never look the same. It's not very hard to reach lvl 60 tho, and after beeing 60 for some time many people get bored. You can't respec your main class, but can have 10 tons per server and 2 crafting relationed skills, like skinning and leatherworking (armour). It's the most similar to this MCH pos CU system. Pet's gain xp and level up has you use them, increasing attack power, Ham, etc. Only attack speed remains the same from scratch. Hunters can use talent points to increase the pet stats, add them very good specials and power, or can invest on melee(includes traps)or ranged (bow/crossbow) skills. Only Hunters can tame, and they have to feed the pets from tie to time so they remain loyal. Warlocks have to do quests to get their minions. Progress is Quest based,and you will have to kill # <insert creature name> like you do on star wars. There aren't lairs for easy xp grinding, there is rest state if you don't play much, else you better quest or would take a lot of time to progress. All in all here on SWG1 you could kill what you wanted and get good xp, specialy on lairs, there it can be very annoying having to find a pristine claw from <insert creature name> you might have to kill things for 2 hours to get one, if the drop % is low. It's not perfect, but if you are a tamer and don't mind medievel, i'd say this is what resembles the most, to pos CU system. I'll try Dark & Light tho, already made 2 Hunters there, can't see it anymore , not untill Burning Crusade at least.
