    "The Equus or Pass counter is now updated without the page reloading when you receive free Equus or Passes from a divine horse."

    I'm a bit confused with this one, for me the page never reloaded, but I had to refresh to see the counter updated, is the latter supposed to be the case now? I still have to refresh in order for the counter to change, at least when getting passes from my gems.

    Chiming in as another person who'd like an explanation as to why specifically Javanese characters are now forbidden.

    I know I’m late to this discussion, but I truly don’t understand why the trophies had to be replaced. We all know the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”- and trophies definitely weren’t broken. I’ll admit some of the divine collection ones were obscenely pricey, but if people chose to chase them anyway that is money in YOUR pocket. Why remove that? Don’t get me wrong, I DO like the new system, for its prizes and the excitement of hitting a new milestone and filling up the meter. What I DONT understand is why this had to replace the perfectly good trophy system? Why not simply add in a new achievement system if you wanted to do that? Also, the collections page is a nightmare to navigate- clearly just slapped in on an attempt to appease the people who had worked hard on their collections. It’s not good enough. Bring back the old trophies. Keep the new achievements. There is NO reason not to have both. The achievement system is fun! It’s cool! I genuinely applaud you for implementing it (even though I can think of a fair few things I would have preferred to get updated, but that’s another topic…) but to have it completely remove the trophies is an insult to your players and frankly shooting yourselves in the foot. LISTEN to your players, for the love of god. You cannot continue to run Microtransactions The Game if it’s not fun to play.

    I don't speak Javanese, but I'm really confused about why it has been added to the list of banned characters. It's an international server, aren't all languages supposed to be allowed...? This seems unfair.

    So an International game, which is supposed to be worldwide, is now targeting an entire ethnic group of over 100 million people? What????


    I swear they've been making everything english. I'm a native english speaker and if my server was shut down and I was forced to join an international server that was french only I'd (reasonably) be a little miffed. When they created the official howrse discord it really struck me weird that they'd force everyone to speak english. Thats extremely weird to me that they would do that, especially since it's a French game.
    It's really giving colonization to me...
    I dont know maybe I'm the only one a little disappointed with howrse but to shut down server forums where they could speak their own language and to force them into a discord server where it's english only, is really odd.

    They only want us speaking english in the forums and public posts for some reason??

    I don't even see a 'Mark as Read' button in my inbox, French or otherwise. I dunno if I'm looking in the wrong spot.

    The equus and passes from a Divine horse update seems pretty irrelevant. All it took was one refresher click, I never really paid much attention and never saw anyone else even mentioning it as a problem.

    The Javanese one is just confusing. I know that we're supposed to keep to one language in the public forums and that makes some sense for clarity I guess although I never really understood it in the international server. But to BAN the characters of an entire language outright? Especially when their Love Divines and Falabellas frequently use characters from other languages and a lot of the text on the game remains in French. That just seems wildly unfair to me. Maybe I'm misunderstanding but why shouldn't players be allowed to speak Javanese in their private forums and PMs, or name their horses as such? default smiley (o)

    No because I really liked it that way. I'm kinda mad they changed it tbh

    I agree! It makes completely no sense! I get that maybe not a lot of people who speak that language may play this game but it's a complete erasure of their language from these servers! Who thought that would be a good idea?? Imagine the outrage if they banned English characters. It's crazy to me that they just decided to remove an entire language from their game
