Combining Accounts, Ideas, & Divines
Egg Picture from Equidow - Thanks to user Monet6!
I am personally a bit confused about this new upgrade on Howrse, especially since the first thing mentioned is finding an egg on your “My Horses”, which you are trying to hatch before July 6th.
To speed up the process of hatching the egg, you can invite family and add friends to your account or just add friends (feel free to Friend Me!). The family bond is linking two accounts together, consisting as a parent account and a child account. When a foal is born, both accounts will receive the foal – that’s the only benefit to it. The co-management system allows close friends or family to access your account using a certain password. However, many actions, like posting in forums, deleting PMs, sending a horse to Haven, and more, will be blocked. That’s basically the main overview of it. I don’t exactly get the point of this – it just seems like an easy way to create more problems. (Keep in mind that you should have full trust of the player you are combining accounts with! Read the page in the Events forum to make sure you understand all the consequences.)
Moving on to a more positive change, ideas will now finally get their own separate forum! This will cancel out some of the confusion with people creating ideas without the light bulb and vise-versa.

Another change will be adding another tab for divines to show more information about them. I’ll post a picture here once everything is released (in just about a few hours!)
Another special surprise is coming as well, that the admins won’t tell us about. Many players were guessing it would be a Fjord. My guess is that the gift inside the egg will be a Fjord or any new pony breed..So if that does happen, remember you saw it here first! ;)
**Egg Update: It’s just a surprise that will appear on your “My Horses” page. It will open on July 6th, but you are trying to open it before then. The only way to open it is to have a bigger number of friends and I guess combine accounts (..I’m not too sure with that..I will update tomorrow if I have more info.) Thirty of your friends need to log in to improve the chances of your egg hatching early. Each friend adds 1.2% to your egg. Once it reaches 100%, it will hatch. It doesn’t matter if 50 friends log in that day – only 36% will be added.
you arent the only one whos confused about this. an egg-hatching horse? kind of strange. however, im up for new things. but it says we should have already found an egg in our horse but i havent seen anything saying that. have any ideas where i should be looking?
I actually have a better idea on it now…maybe I should update the post xD
The egg won’t be found in the horse, but on the “My Horses” page. It will come up after the update, which is in a few hours.
ok i dont get the conbining thing. uh oh…..
okay the part that i want to know is the risk of cheating, we only have 2 computers but my family has different emails but well share the same computer can i still do it or what
That’s probably a concern for many families. As long as you sign up with different e-mails, you should be fine. Try not to have your family log off and on right after one another – this may make Howrse suspicious. I’m sure they are very careful right now with finding players with multiple accounts.
So if my sister already has an account can we put that we are siblings now?
will the egg still hatch on July 6th even if we don’t have a very high level of maturity? or will it just be removed..?
That’s the problem – you can’t combine old accounts. They are working on it so you can, though.
I think it will be removed…I’m doubting mine will make it.
I hope you don’t mind but I sent a friend request.
I made my 10 year old brother, who hasn’t any interest in horses, sign up and I will make him log in regularly so my egg can get nearer :D in return I let him have an email account for his own use.
Anyway; thanks for the answer about the meadows. I will grow flax then.
Fantastic site you have here!
Thanks!
hey, im a bit confused too, all i know is if more of your friends log on your egg grows faster…. anyone who wants to add me, my name is Tahara Hawkonson on howrse :)
Well, apparently they were very serious about the cheating with regards to the egg. I know one person skipper_prince who got his egg taken away.
Yup – they put up a post about it to warn players.
My egg is only at 7% maturity, but the howrse site says that on June 3 at maintenence time, the first 500 eggs will recieve a 50% maturity bonus. What is th maintenenc time, and how can my egg win???
Sincerely,
Waterloop
(If you want to add me as a friend on howrse, my username is HorsesandPonies it is spelt just like that with th caps and no spaces)
Well it seems that your egg is getting 2.3% maturity each day, or something like that. The only way to win is if it’s in the top 500. I doubt there’s really any way you would be able to win without that. I’m not exactly sure when the update is…I think it’s 7 GMT.
Ok so my egg was doing great, and it was etting +4.4% and then it dropped to +1.9%, after 6 of my friends registered! I don’t know why, but I really want to get this egg! PS feel free to add me I’m Kittynic4
I am REALLY not understanding this.
So, you have to link accounts with people. But you can only do that with new accounts. And if you don’t reach 100% maturity by July 6th it will be removed?
..That’s really strange
Yup. you got it. ;)
I got a question. I uploaded a picture of my horse to tinypic and pasted it to my profile. But every time I do this, it makes the profile thingy go blank. Please help. I’m lycan-in-love on howrse:)
Im waaayy confused even still? add em hannahshowrse
Usually that’s an issue with Howrse, not the coding. Try saving it again and see what happens. Are you posting the correct coding in the HTML mode?
This egg thing is rly weird… I barely got my egg to age and it’s been like 3 days!!! I’m guessing whats in the egg is something extremly rare
500 players, possibly maybe more, will receive what’s inside the egg. In order for it to mature, you need to have at least 30 friends log on and register some family members or friends and have them log on each day.
I am confused because all my friends that I know go on everyday and so does my little brother and I only have 6% maturity on my egg.
So have they made it so you can bond with players who already have accounts? if so, how?
Not yet. They are working on that though..
That seems about right…I don’t really get all the math that goes into it either. I though that 1.2% would be added each day a sponsored friend would log on, but instead, it’s a different percentage. I wish I could help you, but I don’t know what to say. If you get 5% each day, you will definitely make the date with 100%.
Yea the egg thing i really don’t get….
Mine only has 4%! Can you help me on suggestions on how to make it grow more quickly, Jessica?
I would like it to be in the first 500 eggs because i’m curious about what’s inside!!!
Try to get family and friends to join…That’s about it really.
The egg thing has been causing a lot of excitement, criticism, confusion and fuss all around.
5 people who added me last week, ‘unfriended’ me because apparently they lost their egg. I guess they were multi-accounting
I’m hoping everyone who got an egg, got to keep it, and put even the slightest bit of effort into it will be able to hatch it – regardless of whether or not we are in the top 500. Otherwise, it will be a huge let down.
By the way, feel free to add your names to my Egg Thread. I set it up in a ‘quick list’ fashion so you can just come and click straight away.

My egg has grown really fast! It is at 27% maturity already, and Ive been logging on eveyday and so have my family members.
I dont understand how to make someone your relative!!!
It can’t be an existing account – it must be a new member.
hmm.. wonder what’s in the egg!
I don’t know, but I hope its worth all the trouble of people going through their friend list and deleting all these random invites. Can you imagine what your PM box will look like? I’m not looking forward to that! LOL
Also I’m fairly sure Howrse just encouraged spam on its community. XD
Whats in the egg, im pretty sure is sometpe of bird cuase on the howrse home page, there ads have 1 on a broken, half-eggshell with feathers aroung it. Maybe its a special breed of pegasus!XD!
I JUST EARNED 5 AGING POINTS CAUSE MY EGG IS AT 31% MATURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The egg thing is neat, I cant WAIT to find out whats inside when mine hatches!
Just letting you know, if anyone wants to friend me, I’ll accept. I don’t bug anyone, I mind my own business. Helping you, helping me! =D
P.S. I’m fillydelphia on Howrse.
I’m trying to open forum but sometimes there are no images on it :(
Haha, waterloop guessed so close! IT is a pegasus! It’s fallabella. :)
Isn´t a ( Fjord ) suppose to be a inland lake ? I quess you mean a horse…..

Yes, a fjord is a bay basically. But a Fjord is also a Norwegian horse breed.
