Petopia Classic site development
If you'd like a rough preview:
http://www.wow-petopia.com/classic/
Keep in mind this page needs a lot of formatting work, and new menu links for Class-related stuff.
A few notes on the style:
- that dark green was the original colour of Petopia, so this will be a nostalgia trip
- the site logo isn't the original one, but it's a homage to it created by the very talented SpiritBinder. The actual original from the 2000s looks a little rough compared to our modern one (you can see it here) so I wasn't going to use it. But then SpiritBinder came up with a new one that captures a lot of elements from it, but looks so much more elegant. I'm so happy with it
- Once the formatting is mostly good for the index, family and looks pages, I'll start adding guides to all the Classic stuff - pet abilities and training, feeding and loyalty, taming, etc. There's so much to add.
- I'll also start compiling a cheat sheet or differences between hunter pets in BfA and Classic so hunters can get started quickly. I'll start that in another thread.
Feel free to leave general feedback on Petopia Classic development in this thread, like site appearance and layout, site bugs, etc. For stuff related to page information (pets, guides etc.), please use or start other threads
Thanks!

Re: Petopia Classic site development
I finally got a look at some classic databases (for the demo only) and it seems that Serpents aren't included in the family database, so I guess I can scrap those, at least for now. It's possible they'll be included in the final version but it's less likely.
Re: Petopia Classic site development
If I remember correctly, the Serpent family wasn't included until either in the Burning Crusade prepatch or during the expansion's launch, so it's unlikely they'll be tamable in Classic.

Now I'm happy with that one, hopefully I can proceed a lot faster, using similar formatting.
NPCs now have links to Wowhead Classic, too.
Re: Petopia Classic site development
Search is now working, and I added the ability to search for pets that can teach certain abilities, as well as pets that can learn them (which is linked to family).
The galleries are also working, so you can browse all looks, or unique rare pets or whatever.
I did a bit more formatting on the abilities page. I'm pretty happy with it now. Maybe the index of abilities at the top could be boxed or something, but that can wait.
In pet lists (looks pages and search), potential "caster pets" come with a red warning symbol (e.g. in this listing for white windserpents), and a key above or below the table to explain the situation. It's still not entirely possible they'll fix that issue, since it was a bug (and I forgot just how many windserpents it affected! Ugh).
On the looks pages, the notes will tell you if a pet knows a certain rank of a certain ability when tamed, with links to the abilities page.
Getting there

There's LOADS more to add: more guides on pet feeding and loyalty and stats, more info on taming and location of individual NPCs, but I'm still very excited to get this much running and I'm pretty happy with how it's shaping up.

Re: Petopia Classic site development
Edit: asking around a little it sounds like ours isn't the only site they've lifted data from for their pages.
Re: Petopia Classic site development
http://www.wow-petopia.com/classic/attackspeed.php
I need to fill it out more once I work out why attack speeds were useful (PvP maybe? I know it wasn't DPS).
That info isn't our own - it comes from a few sources, but I think they all originated in a page on TKA Something, which has been offline for about 8 years. I really dislike using someone else's data, though, even if it's no longer being used, and wish I could ask the owner, but I don't know any way of contacting her now. :/ If anyone knows how to get in contact with her, please let me know! I know she went by the handle "Fritti Tailchaser".
