I thought it always had shown the pet names ?
Out of curiosity - why don't you want to see the pet names ? Half the fun for me is seeing all the clever/dodgy petnames everyone makes up for their pets.
It's in the general options menu.
You can enable/disable seeing other pets names in the options but as far as i can see you can't disable your own.
I'm with the OP, since I7 seeing your own has been on and i'd rather have some way to turn it off. Ruins the immersion for me to see names floating above heads, people or pets.
since I7 came out the names of the pets is now above there heads. is there a way to turn this off. have looked in options but cant seem to turn it off
