[Info] The Retired Coat Gallery

This thread is here to show off your Retired Coats. This is not the place to post non retired coats. **The two exceptions would be coats that have been pulled (brief discussions) and the pre release coats.

REMEMBER:

******** absolutely no sales talk, no talk about spares or how many extras of a copy you got and selling them to fund your RC habit this is just a place to talk RCs

* although links and graphics are ok on this thread, they are not allowed normally on public forums

* any negative or unkind comments on artists or coats (or anyone!) will be removed, and depending on the case, it might mean an instant forum ban.

* DO NOT use this as a place to sell your horse/coats-if you feel the need to break this rule, it will mean an instant forum ban...

** Sales ads are NOT allowed in any public forums. Asking for spare coats will now be considered a sales ad. This includes stating that you plan to sell a coat, or point out coats for sale in sales.

* Do not use this place as a spot for rants or complaints-About coats/BG/or each other.

* This is not the place to ask players to price your coats, or to ask others the worth of a coat, you can check uses on your own by hovering your mouse over the gray apple and price it from there.

* This is not the place to bring up the subject of stolen images. Keep in mind that the rules of the BP used to be very different, and many old coats are from that time.
There is not any reason to bring that up, or report the coats.

*Please do not do a coat countdown for soon to retire coats.

* Please do not post coats that are currently in the GA and have either not retired, or will never retire.

* Please do not post coat/bg combos or ask opinions on them, except following coat release.

* Some coats may be removed in the future, whether that be for problems with the coats itself or just because they're clearing room on the server to allow other coats to be uploaded - if you're buying retired coats, please keep that in mind. If you want a permanent copy, I would recommend saving the graphic to your computer

* How to discover who many uses a New GC coat will retire-There is now a coat countdown in the GA, and it will show how many have been used and how many uses there are left.

** There is now a new creations directory which shows all coats. Go to Community>>>Directories>>>Creations>>>Click more criteria, and on the left hand side is a gold and silver apple. Click the silver apple and search to see all retired coats.

* To see who created/how many uses/name/or if you have it already of a RC coat, simply click on the silver apple, and it will tell you.

*** Posting links to other player's coats is NOT allowed and can mean a forum ban.

*#*#*#* If players feel the need break the main topic rules, such as sales ads/coat countdowns/spares-you can expect an instant forum ban without any warning prior to it *#*#*#*

I missed 4 , but thankfully 4 I didn't care about as much. I'll pick up later maybe in sales if I can't wake up in time. 3AM is brutal. If anyone got all of them in one go, they are a wizard!

well i'm still awake..just.

Managed to get more than i expected to but whether it's the ones i wanted remains to be seen. Not sure how many i managed as i think i picked up some 200 uses on my 100 use horses when the 100 uses coats had already gone.

I can't believe how fast the draft uni and draft went, I put the draft uni at the end because they usually go the slowest. Missed those 2 and the riding uni I wanted, but I got the other uni because why not.

I think I got 12 100 uses in all, but not sure...

I managed to get 10 of the 100 use coats and the 200 use coat I wanted, that being the fox pegasus. I missed the white pegasus, both unicorns, the winged riding unicorn, yellow pony, the draft horse, draft uni, and the brown donkey.

Can't complain really, I'm quite happy with my haul but I will most definitely be getting up in the morning to make sure I get the draft coats I missed! Also need to grab the 200 use winged unicorn still.

I missed the draft too. I honestly didn't think it would go as fast as it did being a bit on the different side.

I was going to put that draft first, but after going to the effort to get those crios blupped I wasn't about to miss their coats. default smiley (lol)

I got all but two. One I missed because I accidentally put the 200c fox coat on instead of a 100c winged riding horse coat default smiley xd I wanted the fox coat but was going to do it last, by the time I got to the last horse that 100c coat was gone. Wasn't a fan of the one I missed anyway so will not be trying for it. Also missed the lobster draft that I really wanted, so will be getting up at a lovely 4am for that one.

Congrats to those that got what they wanted, and good luck for those trying in the upcoming release. default smiley :)

@RowanGreen, (plus anyone else wondering), "Ak. So annoying. I was really liking that design but I hadn't noticed the Cancer symbol. If it's Cancer why has it got a lobster instead of a crab? That will bother me now."


I was interested in getting this myself because I like Zodiac themed coats but was also turned off by it because it shows a Lobster instead of a Crab. I was considering not getting it since it didn't make sense. BUT I looked it up and this is what I found:


• "According to Greek myth, the symbol of Cancer—often a Crab, though sometimes a Lobster—is based on the Karkinos (Greek: "Cancer"), a Crab crushed under the foot of Hercules, and whose remains were placed in the sky by Hera, forming the Cancer constellation."

• "Though some depictions of Cancer feature a Lobster or Crayfish, the sign is most often represented by the Crab, based on the Karkinos."


SO, even though a Crab is the most common animal representing Cancer, it's not the only one. So, maybe that will change your mind about getting/liking this coat.

I got 14, I mixed the fox up with a 100 use though. Won't miss it too much, as I only really love the Hennessey coat this time around.
@ sirionmaster4: Thanks! I do like it and will try to get it (I missed it today). Just slightly annoying.

It's also slightly annoying that it's a colour we don't have in drafts. But that's just me. LOL

More info:

The coats name is ☆Rak☆, which translates to Crab in Bulgarian.


(Also, I think I should've put the image in a spoiler in my other post, sorry.)

Rak is "Cancer" (the sign) for the Czech Republic, which is where Hennessy comes from. default smiley :)

(Also, while the ever-present crab has now also contaminated popular media, in Italy we actually have the depiction of the Lobster. One of our most famous affreschi in Mantua has the big red Lobster standing proudly in the Cancer space.) default smiley :p

Meanwhile, I'm debating whether to get the 200 copies pony coat... it's quite cute...

Good luck everyone!!
I have never seen a coat go as fast as that draft went, it was the main coat I wanted and the first I went for and in the time it took my laptop to refresh it was gone default smiley (d)
In the end I got 2 of the coats I wanted out of 4, and then picked up 2 other coats I didn't really want but had the golden apples spare for.
