And how is this a bank?

Here's my two cents.

I love this game and how it is but they are brining a lot of new things out at once and some of it is confusing and it kind of turns me away from the game. Instead of putting a lot of new things in at once, why not slowly put new things in? It just makes sense, it think many people --including me-- will get confused and flustered with having to learn so much stuff in one sitting. I'll really have a hard time with my EC and I know I won't be the only one.

I have a small EC and as soon as my boarders leave, I'm going to have to let it die so I can get stocked up with food, tack and etc so I can provide to future boarders but thing is...that will take a long time since the whole crafting thing is coming out. And because my EC will be dead and not in a good shape, it will take it even more time to get it back up. I just now got my EC back up from the last update....I had 54-57 prestige and it went down to 40. But I got used to the update --that update wasn't as big and bringing a whole bunch of new stuff though, it just upgraded the way EC's are created and where you get things-- and now my prestige is at 69! One of my comps is a rosette one and the other two are catching up. That's pretty good, for me anyways and I want to keep improving but I feel this update will really harm the players like me.

I have little equus, it's hard getting much especially when things already cost a lot. I don't have many horses and to get more, especially good ones, costs a lot. I need good horses so I can breed and get even better ones to then sell some for profit but then that also costs quiet a bit of equus to get them bred. I don't know, I'm up for changes and everything but I think they are taking this the wrong way...too many things at once --the drafts are the best thing really, I'd rather have just them-- and it makes me kind of mad and sad. I love this game but if it's going to get harder for me and those like me, then why bother? Well why should we even bother with the changes really... I want a good EC and everything but it just seems they are making it too hard for those like me to even catch up with those who have a lot equus and everything.

Yes work is good, you gotta work for things and I totally agree. But I'm not complaining about that really, I'm just saying, this update seems to separate the players further apart...the poorer ones from the richer ones. Poorer people like me won't be able to do what we would want to do without it taking forever and practically taking all our equus to catch up finally and just getting to the point where we are able to get going and keep going up but by that time, I feel I won't even care anymore. This is just my opinion! It's ok if you disagree but you won't change my mind. Yes I will eventually get used to this but I'm not sure if It will even improve anything or make it fun... and I play this game to have fun. I think i'll get brought back down some and not get back up to where I would love to be until ages later. I don't know...gunna have to wait and see!

On a positive note, I love that drafts are coming! Cannot wait for them! I need to get my hands on one, if I do, I 'll be super happy!

Well, you asked for a way to store money. Storing fodder is pretty much the same thing. When you have excess money (if this is at all possible) buy fodder. When you need the money, sell fodder. Of course, if you were thinking of interest rates and borrowing loans then fodder won't do that, but for a simple storage solution like the one you were asking for fodder is pretty much the Howrse bank. As Neferka said, it is a way to keep breeding costs low and be able to 'withdraw' money.

Assuming, of course, that you buy the fodder in the first place. But then again, what active bank account has zero funds?

Before, employees were a requirement to keep up prestige. Now they're not. Even with their limited time perk, I won't be purchasing them mainly because I don't have to. Employees before were a pain as been stated before because the larger the EC the more positions needed to be filled and little to no takers on those positions. In most cases you would be spending the game's pass/equus exchange rate to keep your EC fully staffed at all times.

As it goes for me, if it's not necessary, i'm not buying.

Are you sure about that?
Here's a demonstration (note the time):

Depositing takes a little longer than withdrawing, but I think it's worth it ^_^
Who knows if it will still work after the changes though (what with prices being able to fluctuate).



The new bonus's don't affect prestige in a way that makes them absolutely necessary (unlike the old employees). With the old employees your EC would take a guaranteed decrease to prestige if you didn't have the right amount. With the new bonus's you can get by just fine without them, but like with the VIP perks, they can help make things easier.
The only similarity between the old and the new 'employees' is the the name.



People do invest their personal money in their own businesses actually... But that it besides the point - which in my interpretation was that the game is becoming more 'unrealistic' when in fact adding supply/demand makes it more realistic in my opinion.

Overall, yes. It's a ton of changes and that's why it's broken down into several fractions. One reason why it's not one or two changes at a time is because it would take sooooo much longer for all the changes to come. It's a learning curve for a lot of old timers and the only thing we can do is take it one step at a time. At least on the more active servers you can get loads of help on something you don't quite understand at the first go around.

MoonRider1691 and Haoang20082 beat me to the punch



That is exactly what they have been doing believe it or not (introducing the changes slowly). All the changes we have been getting were proposed at the start of last year (there's a blog post about it) and there was a further blog post from August last year explaining how the changes would be introduced

Exactly. The changes have been in the works for about a year, known to us normal players. So who knows how long with the team. Honestly I don't think anyone reads the Blog anymore

will is be possible to sell the useused , ot tear weraed boxes that we already have in ec?

MoonRider1691 - Yeah, it's a shame... I got a lot of good info from the blog. I wish admin would make more posts, but I guess they're busy trying to get the next set of changes to work.


And yep, Haoang20082, you were right about it being fodder. I wasn't sure if I should mention it by name in case it was considered an exploit or something For anyone trying to deposit large amounts of equus, choose the 10,000 fodder option and spam the buy button a lot (if you are able)... That way you can deposit around 30k to 40k each go. Took me 5 minutes to deposit 2 million equus that way
