My two cent on that take-<br/><br/>I can see your concern on the play breaking down into smaller games, unless managed, and to be frank, I'd rather just concentrate on playing, rather than having to think "Am I spending too much time with this owner/pet?" so, in that respect, it'd work better for the pets to be shared.<br/><br/>I can see it offering a few more opportunities which would fill the gaps of those lost by not engaging in private ownership. It'd offer the chance for the pets to form better relationships (if they're all kept together), and I can't help but admit the idea of being taken back and just dumped in a cage after being rented out, caged with all the other pets gets me wet, simply at the thought.<br/><br/>Of course, the clients of the club would have favourites, allowing them to rent out their preferred choice more often than not, but if one member fancies a turn with a foreign import... well, he or she would be very much open to it! In addition of course, as you say a pet's life becomes even more meaningless, and if a certain pet doesn't get enough business.. well, they're either bought by one of the few owners who likes them, or carted off to be properly modified. So whilst the pets may hate being rented, they have to remain appealling if they want to stay 'alive', so to speak- I love it! +1 to that idea.
