I've been using v-petsite.com for the making of my petsite, but the coding on the site is so messed up, I can't edit anything properly.
So a friend recommended Drupal. :]
I need a load of things, so I'm trying to figure out which modules I should use. Here we go!
I need:
-A register, login, logout, and lost password page
-Forums with moderator capabilities, avatars, and signatures. Custom fonts aren't necessary.
-A inventory system, along with a 'safety deposit box', which keeps random events and normal events from accessing the items.
-A bank that allows withdrawing/depositing points.
-A point system. I'm using 2 different types of points.
-2 navigation bars on each side of the main page.
-1 is for navigation, and 1 is for the active pet, new messages, and friends of the user that are online
-A friend system, they can add/remove users, and it shows on their profile.
-A gallery for items the user doesn't want to sell, and wants to show off.
-A shop for users where they can sell the items they don't want
-This needs 2 seperate pages for customizing the shop for others and changing item prices
-Shops stocked by the site that restock automatically
-A trade center for users to trade items and pets
-The pet and item section need to be seperated
-All trades need to be displayed, and a search of trades needs to be there.
-An auction house for items only. A search of items and earliest auction endings needs to be there.
-A pound for pets abandoned by their owners. A search for this as well.
-Creating a pet page. This is free. They need to be able to change the color of the pet from the create page.
-A home page that displays info about the site and the newest items for guests, but news in a scroll box for users logged in.
-A stat page that automatically updates the stats
-The ability to view and edit profiles
-A preferences page for editing profiles, forum settings, and account settings.
-Some sort of battle arena.
-A mailing system that allows messages to be saved in seperate folders.
-Pets need...
-A profile when clicked on through a user profile
-To operate with items. Food decreases hunger, books increase intelligence, toys increase happiness, etc.
-To have weapons and mini-pets equipped to them.
-To be colored through items
-To be able to fight in the battle arena, and lose/gain HP and other stats.
-A search for members, items, and pets
-I need to control random events for users.
-A way to upload pets and items to the site without Photobucket. xD
-A way to show user status on forums and profile. (Normal User, Moderator, Artist, Admin, etc.)
-I need staff to be able to do staffy things. xD
-A club system that users can create and join.
-Some places that are only open on certain times.
-Some sort of auto questing.
There's so many more little things, but I think they can wait. :]
I know the list is very long, but even help with one thing is appreciated. <3

I don't have the 2 - 3 hours it may take to break this down for you one by one and check on modules. That's quite a bit to ask of anyone.
However, what I can tell you is much of what you want is available in the downloads section.
Some of what you want will have to be custom coded as there aren't any modules that do those things.
I suggested she post here. I
I suggested she post here. I want to go through and break down as much as I can for her since I use drupal regularly...
It's just some things I have no clue at all how to go about.

If you followup with the questions you can't answer, we can then fill in the gaps. ;-)

Myvirtualpetsite.com has most of those features. The site is still growing and I imagine all of those features will be implemented. It is free to use and you can gain credit to upgrade the features on your site.
