I am also testing the festivities. I am going to try and do a *modest* playthrough.
I want to test it like I'm NOT a player who has millions in reserve.

So far from what I can tell, The slingshot isn't really anything other than for looks. You can only pull it straight back, so you can't aim. all morning I have been working with how far to pull it back and see if that has an effect on anything.

I am not yet convinced it does. I will keep investigating though.


So here's how the cost is going for me so far(even though I know Zayne has covered it well)

Click to display
We earned three free races, and then every race after that, the cost quadruples. )(starting from 5) To do 9 races per day, it would cost a player 6825 equus. Times that by 7 (how many days we get races) and the total contest costs about 47775. That would get you around 650 flags.

To do 10 races per day, it would cost 27,325 per day. meaning if you did that all seven days the cost shoots up to 191,275. that's going to get you around 700-800 flags.

So I can tell thus far, its going to be a fairly equus heavy deal. I don't know why one would feel the need to spend passes, as they only help you win the race. (a difference of 1-3 flags isnt worth it to me)


I don't want to post my lifestory on here default smiley (lol) but if anyone has any questions at all, shoot me a message

How are you both so quick to answer? are you notified when someone posts, or just great vigilant checkers?

Ok so for my day 2

Click to display
I'm going to worry less about costs since Zayne is doing a better job than me anyways. My focus today has been the slingshot. Last year when the festivities came around, one of the largest complaints was that it was all automated, very little interaction with the game besides repeatedly clicking a button.

I believe this year they added a slingshot, to make it feel more interactive. So I've been testing how much of a difference that slingshot actually makes.

I will record numbers today, but moving it the bare minimum back, I still was able to get fives and 6s consistently. Going back as far as possible, It really seemed the same, but I think I got a significant amount more low numbers.

I will have actual data on my day three


If anyone has any questions, just shoot me a pm default smiley :)

@Gandalf, the length on the test server isn't always the same as what it will be on the live server. However, usually the
Click to display
festivities (Derby portion in this case) last about 5-7 days. We still have another event to go until the Derby starts, so we have about 3 weeks or so to make money for the races

I believe they choose just before or at the same time as the VIPs are offered spots, and those were given on the 24th

Thank you - does anyone know "how" you are selected? Do you have to do something to prove that you'd be useful testing and know what to do? Or do they just "randomly" select players by drawing names or something. -Worth asking in contact us?

I haven't seen anything mentioned about a lottery on the test server yet, but it's possible

I haven't seen anything about a great challenge or lottery, just the derby + you'll be able to try for the divine with TC and if you don't get him after a certain amount of tries, they'll allow you to buy him from sales minus passes for each try, down to 5
