I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a share spell skill for those casters that have familiars? I have played at a server with the name badlands where PK is everyday bussines (thats why I left.) I really liked share spell because it made the familiar more usefull. Ex, the polymorph spell. Think about transforming into a troll and your familiar does the same. Then unpolymorph and you have a polymorphed familiar with better chanches for survival. So what do you guys think? Is it a good idea?

That probably works well on a low-enhancement server, but it wouldn't change much here. Even a Slaad with Ethereal Visage would have trouble on the farm, never mind beyond that. Past your teens, the only useful familiar is the Pixie, but not for her melee presence.
To make familiars useful in the later levels, we would need to seriously amp them up, like the elemental summons. That hasn't been a priority, nor do I think it should be, because melee familiars are intended for solo quests. In a party situation, which is the intended norm here, you have PCs that can dish and take.
