another change that will happen is that you can no longer revive horses sent to heaven.
This sounds odd for Greyfells because you have to send them to Heaven to get your diamonds and equus, but they are removing the option to send Greyfell to heaven completely so you don't accidentally permanently kill it. Once it dies you automatically get your gifts and you can then revive it

I've been on and off this game since 2011 or so. I remember catching a Horn of Plenty and Philosopher's Stone as UFOs. Instead of trophies that only take up pixel space we had goals that gave us tangible rewards for completing them.

And now Howrse is removing one of the oldest and surest way for getting passes for a system that is very obviously inferior. Instead of a potential 31 passes a month, a player can only earn up to 10. That's assuming you earn a full 10 points every day. I take care and show a large amount of horses a day, and am sometimes surprised to see I only earned 9 points that day.

From what I heard about how we won't be anything to really do much to Yggdrasil except grow it, I wouldn't even classify it as a true legendary, just another trophy that offers no tangible benefits to the player.

When the day comes that this game officially switches over, I'll probably take a good month long break from Howrse. Maybe if they get a mass player dropout from the switch they'll listen. If I come back to this game a month later, and still find the new system being used without any significant changes to make it seem less of a rip-off to the players? Well, I've learned to live without Howrse several times before, and that may be the one strike that keeps me from coming back for good.

Do we know of a possible release date for the Christmas Packs?

it makes sense to wait to buy the decoration passes if there is a better deal offered toward the end? Or does it stay the same throughout?

When will the pass packs come out? I've been waiting for them for a while >.<

1.if we will still have pandora's box
2.there is a perk from one divine ( to revive till the horse is 29 or sumn like that) what will they change it to

1. Yes, you will still be able to revive horses younger than 25, just don't send them to heaven when they die.

2. On the IT version, Midas' perk still says "Mida : In grado di usare il Vaso di Pandora fino al compimento di 30 anni invece di 25." "Able to use Pandora's box until the age of 30 years instead of 25", so it doesn't look like that perk is changing. Though that isn't really a huge loss as I doubt many people used it anyway - keeping a horse alive until it is 30+ is easy.

.Does anyine know when will be snowball fight?

remember, this is a business, they are trying to make money like all businesses, I would imagine they were losing a lot of revenue from us using free pass horses, instead of paying real money for the passes, just good marketing guys;. and remember, without passes for them, the game may not stay free for everyone --- just marketing and trying to keep the game free

Yeah, but when this change comes, they're going to lose pass buyers...not gain them. So really by making this change they are losing more money than what they would be if they kept the pass horses.

Not quite. Often players who bother with pass horses play with a mix of bought and free passes. Taking away the free passes, or rather taking away the minimum amount of 11, doesn't automaticly mean people will buy more. It can turn into an own goal quickly for the game. If they left it with a limitation to 10 pass horses + monthly pass, some who made all 31 possible passes would still be upset, but the majority would be ok with it at the end. My guess, I don't know it for sure. But changing 11 safe passes into an unknown amount of almost certainly below 10 and making us play a mini game all 3 days possibly is just putting off and no incite to buy passes. Especially not buying more passes than before. It's never a good business to take away established customer's bonusses. It almost always harms a business.
I'd rather think why exactly the business is not as expected. If it has been ok before with the existing pass horse system and going down lately, it can hardly be the pass horse system, can it ?

I'm not doing this really often, but I went through ranking of "Old Yggdrasils"
Thanks to "slukva" (one Czech player) I can here show you more transformations of Yggdrasil,,
It's age is 35,192 years, and has probably already opened all of it's appearances,,

My opinion? It's ugly.
