    Which is why I said this is all speculation.

    From what we know, which is nothing, they might as well be bringing Howrse Cup back. We only have those two pictures to stare at and speculate.

    Yeah I'm a bit worried about the message too, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

    My gut reaction was are they going to force us all into the mobile/app version of play, which would be horrendous. I haven't really considered/thought anything beyond that, and as for the hints, well they have passed me right by as ever default smiley :p

    I've also received that message and I'm really afraid. I return back to game about two month ago and I was really shocked. I spent a lot of money here and have just found my goal in this game. Hope the game won't be completely redrawn, we tested future events for some reason. My hope is that the game will stop being so dependent on donations, but of course it's impossible

    I just hope that it will be a sort of new competition. If they will get us to play only in mobile, I'll quite this game. I hate mobile games.

  • The message reads,:

    "we've developed a new game mode and we'd love to hear your feedback so that we can adapt it as closely as possible to the way you play!"
    ---

    First of all, I don't know what 'new game mode' means and second of all, when have they ever really adapted anything at all?

    My gut feels sick.....

    I'm not going to stress over what I don't know.

    Here is what I do know. Other than occasionally my kids all play wild horse island now. They like the role play part better. They like the coat designs better and they just enjoy the feel of the game better.

    Maybe the new mode will reward game play. Say take a horse for a ride for a minute and forest rides are done, then find a mountain and repeat. The only way people will adopt that mode over traditional modes is making new modes worth while.

    All I hope is the new mode allows me to do more with less of my time. I honestly have no problem saving passes to pay for features and horses that do this. Also no problem spending real money for these features.

    Why are Balios and Croesus so over valued in my opinion? Because they fit this more with less mentality. My personal valuation of a horse is based off the value of their perk monthly or yearly and valued out at a 2 year payback. Ie a balios I "created" is worth 13800 passes to me, a bought Balios is only worth 4600. Likewise a Croesus is only worth 2600 passes to me.

    Like I said we will have to wait to see what it does for game play.

    this new development could very well be the end of howrse.

    a LOT of players have been saying the same things for years.
    and years
    and years
    and years.

    we have an entire FORUM dedicated to our ideas and what does howrse do?

    ignore 100% of them and go on with whatever ridiculous thing corporate says will work.

    did we want 90% of the changes youve implemented over the years?
    no we did not.

    no one is asking for changed gameplay. we are asking you to STOP PRICE GOUGING US. we are in a recession. most people cant afford food and rent and OWLIENT acts like we have $300 to blow on a silly pixel pack for useless divines with perks we didnt ask for and we cant even sell them.

    not online that try to make ANY money back that youve sunk into this losing game and they will ban you and your IP so fast your head will spin.

    I saw the rise of howrse and now im eating popcorn while it burns itself to the ground. we tried to tell you how to keep players playing but you dont listen to your players.

    ce la vie right?

    Like someone mentioned a way to add and get value out like auction services would eliminate their trafficking headaches and allow them to be the middle men. That would be genius on their part. Make all divines sellable and all horses sellable. Have a stored cash account on each person's account. The ability to buy old accounts that people want to sell. This would add a wild west feel at first but it would help their bottom line, help players staying looking for value and help players that want a cash value for their accounts.

    they would have to HEAVILY regulate it. Personally i have bought over $4000 worth of passes. My account is worth about $1000 or more. With sums like that and kids involved, there would be scams left and right. Unless they were in charge which means that they would probably want 10-20% commission.

    Kids have to go through parents anyway for bought passes so I can't imagine it would be that bad but maybe. Also the middle man part for howrse would be how they would make their money. That would be the greatest motivation for them. Sadly I feel the different servers would have such different values.
