So one day I tested it out, thinking maybe it will force me to stand up. Nope. It killed me. I took a real xp death and had to do a CR

Now that sounds classic!

"/pet guard here" is suppose to make your pet actually GUARD the area, and attack anything on sight. Not just "Pet Stand here". /pet guard here needed to be used VERY carefully!!

I played a couple of necromancers very early in my eq career. Not to particularly high level, but I did use pets. I remember reading about pet guard here in the kunark manual, but to my disappointment it didn't seem to do anything differently to /pet stand here ... I was hoping it would crump passing pathers.

Perhaps the command didn't kick in until higher levels, or the pet had a tiny aggro radius at low levels. To me it felt like either a command that had never worked, or a mechanic which had been removed before kunark dropped in UK.

Pet guard here having it attack mobs was changed either in beta or soon after release. It wasn't in the game very long.
