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 just realized that wasn't the question.
You can't quote a quotation, but you can quote the part that is not a quotation by highlighting the bit that you want to quote. I have no idea if that made sense default smiley :s

Thanks, qwerty9air. But it always shows 'You cannot quote a message that includes quotes' if there are already quotes in the message. default smiley xd

And yes it's people's choice after all. default smiley (a)

Ohhh, okay I see. So if I have the coat on a riding horse uni, and it gets categorized as a pony uni, does that mean mine's "wrong"?

I just saw the line after posting lol. I will give it a try next time. Actually, I did see people quoting messages by removing the 'quoted parts', but I don't know how they managed to do so.

Re the winged uni: looks like Hope and Loyalty have tried to put it on their entire release for the Prix today! Loads of Knabs... default smiley xd

As for category: for those of us who like to have coat and wearer matching it would be nice if the new category matched too. Having said that, I suppose any that are actually on Fjords (or other ponies) will end up being more valuable as they'll be 'glitch' coats?

I missed it. It wasn't totally to my taste (good coat, just not me) so I can live with that. Though if I suddenly come into some money I'd be tempted to get it as either a future glitch or a trail skiller! It does have some spots and I like Knabs...

I am not sure about how exactly it will work. But I guess nothing really matters with the 'wrong categorization' except that you can't get a 'fjord-like' riding horse coat on a fjord pony. Maybe you can go to the Spoiler Zone and ask the testers about the experience.

Hmm, alright, I might stop by the spoiler topic and see what they say! Thank you for helping!

Ok, correcting myself: had a look at those knabs, and they seem to be old, unsold skillers rather than today's release. Still, looks like some fast clicking was involved!

I was gonna say, it looks like one person got about 6 copies of that winged uni? I wish I was that fast! I would have liked a second copy of it default smiley (8)

Here's an example, which may help. Right now, I have the Pegasus RC, Хранитель Земли by fray, on this Shetland Pegasus, whose species is currently just "Pegasus".

On preprod, that same Shetland's species is now a "Pony Pegasus." However, it's RC is now classed as a "Riding Pegasus" because a majority of "Riding Pegasus" are wearing the coat. The only thing that could get confusing with this is looking for a horse's in the sales with RCs, because the species of the horse may no longer match the coat, so you can't count on a species search to help you find the coat you're looking for.

This isn't technically a new issue though, because you can already have the "wrong species coat" on your horse. I've bred a few comp horses that I wanted Riding or Pony coats for, but still wanted the Pegasus bonus. So I put the GA on first, and then applied the Medusa's Blood.
Here's an example for that. The horse is listed as a Pegasus, but the RC, Golden Spirit, is actually a Riding Horse. Interestingly, there are a few older PreCS coats whose actual graphic does not match the coat's species. There's one coat that is definitely a Pegasus image (it has large wings), but it was submitted and accepted as a Riding Horse.

In summary, unless you are someone that likes to match coats to the species of your horse, then you likely won't mind the discrepanciesdefault smiley :)

First a question: are the coat use numbers reflective of all country servers or just this server?

Second a discussion point: I always thought that one of the appeals of RC collecting was that because of their rarity. It seems to me that many of these RCs get used more than the regular coats, i.e. there might be a RC with 600 uses, but a regular coat with only 2. Wouldn't the regular coat be more rare? default smiley (8) Discuss. default smiley (lol)

For the first question, i'm not too sure. I would imagine it's across all servers, because it'd get a bit confusing if the same coat was listed as two different species on different servers. Although, I just checked the directories on preprod, and there are no listed Pegasus Pony, unicorn pony or winged unicorn pony coats at all. I thought there were at least a few pages of Pegasus Pony coats during the last session, but maybe I'm mistaken.

For the second question, I'd say a RC with 803 copies, like Gothic, is still worth more than an unlimited coat with only 2 copies, because that currently 2 copy coat is unlimited. You can still apply it anytime you want it. Whereas, you have to buy that RC if you want it, and that's even if you ever see it in the sales to be able to buy it.

I mean regardless of species. If a coat has say 60 uses, is that 60 uses just on International or is it 60 uses on all versions of the game? I.e. can a coat be retired here, but on say the Canada version still be available? default smiley (8)

Yes. The use count is for the server only.

Oh sorry, I was still stuck on species classificationdefault smiley (lol)
Yes, the copy numbers are specific to each server. There are tons of limited coats that are still GAs on the smaller servers, but they've long since retired on this server because there are more active players to apply them.

I can understand how annoying that can be, I would give it some time, usually there is always a horse that dies or disappears and then the amount of copies goes lower.

Same! I was 2 off of the 25 coat one and I managed to only get 2 coats from this release -- but both of which had 101 uses. I had to buy the Totentanz from the sales.

Is there a way to see what coats have retired by most recent retirement? I can only see a way to sort by date of creation. As we know, older coats retire sometimes before "newer" coats. I noticed that the creation directories show 4324 retired coats. I think yesterday it was 4317. I'd like to know what ones retired!
