Horse & Equestrian Center Updates

Published by Jessica under E-mail Newsletter

Along with the new objectives this week, Howrse added some new features/updates on the horses and ECs.

Horses:

  • Instead of horses aging automatically when you log in, they will age once you visit their page.
  • When cross breeding, if the horse is then bred with the same breed, eventually the other breed will cancel out and the horse will become a purebred. This allowed players to mix the top skills of a horse and get an incredibly high GP. (Paints are now up to 31 stars or higher!) Now, when cross-breeds breed with a purebred, the other breed will always count in the generations to come. (Example: A Paint and Hunter are bred. Eventually, the Hunter will get smaller after a few generations. However, it will never disappear; when it gets lower, it will stay at 1 percent.

Equestrian Center:

  • If a 18 meter box is found in a Horn of Abundance, it will automatically be reserved to you.
  • Temporary employees will now cost 40% more to encourage players to offer job positions for players.

I have also noticed small graphic changes..I’m not sure if these were added when I was away or not. The EC boarding page got a bit more fancier as well as the Private Messaging Page. (the tabs got smaller/changed color). I saw these little details..not sure about any more yet. ;)

New Objectives!

Published by Jessica under E-mail Newsletter

Thank you to those who commented about the new objectives! I will be out for at least 12 hours everyday for the next few months..I won’t be able to pounce on new updates on the game as soon as I can/was able to before.

I might not be able to get all the screen shots for them tonight; if possible, screen shots will be appreciated if you have the time. :) (about the same size as the other screen shots)

Link coming soon.

Back to Business! (sort of)

Published by Jessica under News

I got a well-earned vacation this past week. It was stated there would be wi-fi, but it lasted not even one day. I just got on Howrse to find two new announcements, one including 200 extra sand. Right away I stalked the private auctions to get a pass. xD I currently have 32 messages to go through, along with 30+ comments on the website. School will be starting soon as well, giving me less time to work on the site and layouts. I will try to complete all orders soon, but I can’t guarantee. I appreciate all of you returning to the site, even though I was absent. Hopefully some new posts and a newsletter will be sent out tonight. :)

NYC Traffic is Always Unpredictable

Published by Jessica under News

I wasn’t too sure if I would be able to make it to the meet and greet in New York since I had to drive down for vacation the same day. After finishing up every last detail at home, we didn’t leave until 2 or even 2:30, when the meet already started. We were a two miles away from the Holland Tunnel when the traffic started to build up. We were stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, taking at least 20 minutes to go a few miles. By the time we got into the city, we had to drive up 60 to 70 blocks. We got halfway very easily, but got stuck yet again when we came to the Lincoln Tunnel. Even though we weren’t using that tunnel, there was traffic on that road to get to the tunnel. We parked right outside the park, luckily finding a parking spot. The meeting spot was still about two or three blocks away, and uphill. It wasn’t too hard finding the theater, (the park is miles long) but there were many open areas for where the meeting could have been. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to the area until five of 6. By then, they probably packed everything up and headed out a bit early. I’m very sorry I was unable to go. If anyone else did go, I would love if they could write up a post about all the events of the meet and greet.
