suggestions

[Lcameron]

somtimes i just have ideas which randomly pop into my ead when i'm doing somthing but i didn't know you could suggest them to be added to the game until nowish. this is so cool! a few of my suggestions would be:
#1 start a breed/ breed regestry.
i always thought this would be cool, mainly becuase i am about to start breeding a new strain horse sport horses and i don't want them to be labled as crossbreeds. i think that we should be able to creat our own breeds! heres how it would work
step 1: create a breed
step 2: make a breed name and standard e.g characterisics ect
step 3: apply for your horses to be inspected tell people why your horses would make a breed that could help the game, (mainly so people don't go claiming all thier crossbreds as new 'breeds')
step 4: see if you new breed makes the cut
step 5: breed the horses of your new breed and sell them to the public to make the whole thing worthwhile
i hope you like this idea, it is rather ambitious but i think it would be super cool as the whole point of this game is to breed horses and make a name for yourself. what better way to do it than this. the only problem i can think of is heaps of people trying to claim that thier obviously cheap, mixed breed horses are actually rare purebreds. and even although i think people are probably pointing out that this sounds a bit like what i am doing the difference is that i'm actaully trying to make a breed. which is why if this was added to the game then very strict inspection would have to be practised or the game would be flooded with useess horses (sorry horses not your fualt)
anyway before i start ranting here is my next idea

#2 being able to buy an arena
i think that we should be able to buy an arena in this game not only for decoration but a tool to make horses trained faster. i think it would be really useful when trying to run a buisness in training horses. the arena would probably be expensive becuase it would also impact a trainers income if training became so easy everyone just did it in thier own stables instead of paying for people to do it for them.

#3 health problems with horses
not sure if this has been requested yet but i think that health problems should be added to the game. to many people neglect thier horses in this game (e.g not feeding, over breeding) that i think there should be consequences for it like if you don't feed a horse it dies of staration or if your don't have a water trough in a paddock then they die of thirst or if you over breed a mare then they die in pregnancy or birth just to give these players a taste of real life. now when i say this i don't mean all players becuase some are really good with thier horses and thier stables are stunning but others i have seen have horses that all say underweight.

thanks for reading, please tell me if you have any problems with my ideas so i can fix them!
p.s sorry guys for the rants

Two of these three ideas are already scheduled to be added at some point. Well, you have kind of four different ideas.

New breeds, i.e. breeds that might exist in real life but don't here on HWO and also breeds that don't exist in real life, but we want to make them exist here. This idea is already planned and is likely to be added at some point in the future. The general consensus is that new breeds would be added to the game for real money. But I'm not sure how planned out it is just yet. It's not high on the priority list right now.

Breed Registry is already planned as well. That will come at some point and be run nominally by the game. Insofar as, if it's purebred, then it will appear in the HWO-run breed registry. Not sure how that will all work out personally, but it is planned to be added. Our breed registry forum is a stop-gap until that time. But I also think that the forum is likely to hang around even after, because many of us have sub-registries within the bigger registry, such as painted arabians or cream thoroughbreds.

Health problems is also set to be added. But with the potential problems it might offer to us and our admins, plus with the size of the task, this might not happen for quite some time. Such things as food-related injury and illness might not happen for quite a bit longer. There is still something strange going on with our feeding system and occasionally feed-glitch horses still pop up.

Now to the last one. The training arena. I don't know about this. I like the idea of the decoration. But so many changes have occurred in the training part of our game, admin has said that certain things are changing in those plans. I would have to hear an updated design by our admins on training before I can comment further about what changes I might suggest or support. But I do like the idea of an arena and also the idea of it offering some extra for training time.
