We know a lot of you are very anxious to test out pet battles, but it wasn't our intention to introduce them to the beta at this stage, as we don't yet feel they're in a solid enough state to allow for meaningful feedback.
One we're further along in development, we look forward to implementing pet battles and gathering your thoughts on the feature.
I has a sad but I completely understand.

Well, that explains a bunch! Still, we'll have a bunch of info with which to start databases.

According to the journal I didn't own any pets..is this because they disabled the system? (this is in between the error 132 crashes). I wanted to summon one as a companion.

This makes me a little sad. I was really enjoying running around trying to find catchable pets. SUre, it's obviously not finished yet >.> But.. that's what beta's for, right?! I guess I was just actually having fun for once.. looking for 'em was almost making me feel better.

Bah, I did a character re-copy to get all my pets back, and it gets disabled. Have they at least left in pet tracking?

I hope they leave the tracking available for informational purposes if anything. Just disable the battles. Who knows, though.

Tracking is still working for me. Between d/cs.

So far I still can summon the wild pets I caught before they took the system down. I have a few fel flames and flayers if anyone would like to see if they are still able to be used ( in cages) I am on my re-copied hunter named MizTwo on lost isles, between crashes.
I am sure it has been mentioned someplace, but the wild caught pets are buggy. The fel flame acts like our pets used to on aggressive as long as there are mobs to kill, then it just stands there and will not follow. most of the others are just wandering off and not following.

I was able to keep all the stuff I caught, yay! However I was unable to trade a caged pet to a player who did not log in to train pet battles before it was removed. We kept getting "Internal bag error" messages when we tried.
I can summon all of mine like normal, and they have stopped their weird aggressive behavior. They also follow me now. The only kind of weird thing is that they show as level 85, and are flagged for pvp combat, except my Scorpling, which is 85 but not flagged.

you may not be able to trade them, however you can mail them to said person and it'll work, you can also put them in the AH, but until they buy it, they won't know what it is or what level it is
