Voted for change to Attack!
Go to stable seems as good option, but I think it's making things too easy (else not bad :p).
Go wild seems too much of a risk (poof, killed by any player) and too big punishment. |

| I think It should continue to attack it's current target, then (still be tame) but act as a docile wild animal. If something is attacking it still, it should continue to attack until wounded, flee then act a a docile wild animal (like sheep, dogs, and wolves do) Finding a pet after it has fled would be a challenge. |

| Since I can't edit, do not that the pet could still die with this idea and it would only switch to acting like a docile wild animal if it could out run it's attackers. Sort of like the pet being at a loss for what to do. |

I'm voting for stable, although it is almost a tie for me with attack. Stable because of the unavoidable dilemma that arises in both cases, heel and attack, due to the nature of those commands.
Thanks for making this poll Jinker and thanks for considering a change 
(although I was hoping to receive the original option back - being able to change command...) |

| From a purely RP point of view (I have never played druid), I would feel normal for the pet to Attack after its master death. |

I think that from an RP point of view, attack, going wild, or even... erm, forgive me... ending up dying are the things that make sense.
However, for gameplay justice, server crashes, party environments, not making it too easy with a pet just standing there to be recovered, etc, stable seems to me to be the simplest option. In the end, any decent group will either help the druid train another pet, or go looking for a stable... |

| I voted Attack! because you can already put the pet in the stable. With Attack! as the option we have the choice. |

| I would say that logically the pet should go on guard, very few animals are vindictive (apart from elephants). BUt almost all animals will defend themselves if attacked. So make it guard. |

I also voted for "Attack!" because it makes the most sense to me... most pets would protect the master's fallen body... or so it goes with very loyal pets in the real world.  |

| Guard! and Attack! both amount to the same thing in this scenario. |

| But doesn't "guard" make them attack things on their masters? There's nothing on ghosts. I've no idea how that works: would that be the last thing in red? What if the pet was under "attack," the master dies, and the command changes? In the meanwhile the thing would have turned into someone else... or not? |
