Yeah, I signed up the summer of (69 ,JK) 2019 I thought it it was great then one day out of the blue I remember my logging (that happens a lot to me :lol:) I logged back on and I didn't really like it as much as I used to. But you're right HWO is the best!! 100 million stars!!! :D

Champions on freeze but going competitions ?
To answer these two questions directly:
We can freely send horses or money between our accounts. Our admins don't want us cheating and that is nominally (but not necessarily solely) about entering competitions. Freezing horses, either competitors or otherwise isn't considered cheating, many of us do so, especially if a good titled horse doesn't have a match (yet) in your account. By freezing him or her, you can save your project for when you can continue and in the mean time, see just how far your horse can be taken.

Many of us, but not all, will eventually age out even our best horses. It's a style of self-regulation that does keep the game moving forward, but if you take a look at our newsletters (particularly the latest one out, the racing one), you'll notice that by freezing a good competitor, won't really allow you to make money from him or her forever. As the game grows, the improvement of the bloodlines also increases, so that the different levels become more difficult to obtain. So your best horse that might be able to perform at level 10 successfully, in 6 month's time, that horse may only be able to successfully navigate level 6... I exaggerate a bit, but that does offer insight into the progression of the game.
Thanck you that explains a lot
I was wondering if it might be a freezing problem with "money horses"
Cause i saw this https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2250261 in the ranking and the owner comment and i didn`t know if it is maybe a Problem with freezing.
I will read the Newsletter now
Maybe the link is an old problem or its not because of freezing

Its not because of freezing (i think im, not an expert). But it's some suggestions that a player made in December 2019.

I know it`s not the same as in the beginnig
But what i didn`t like was allways the big money point.
I spend a lot of money, my account is activ right now, because i have passes on but i forbid myself to login again. I stoped playing 2017 --> i am 26 -> but in my opionion i spend to much money and time in this game. This wasn`t fun anymore. It was more like being adicted. And in the German version you meat a lot of bad persons -> really bad mails while competition, when you and your friend breed the better horse and so on.

This game is cool, because the community is really nice and maybe i will be premium in the future.
I am willing to spend money for great work. But here i thinck it`s not too much.
But i will play a little time. Getting really in before i decide

sorry its not about freezin but i really wanted to awnser

That particular horse is to prove that it's too easy to title a horse in anything at all, with enough dedication and diligence. It is a strike against freezing a horse and a warning to those that are looking to purchase and breed to titled horses thinking they're 'great', when in fact even a very poorly performing horse can earn the top title of SM... It escapes me right now...

We do need a revamp on some of the areas of the game to stop the ability of such easy titling or at least a wipe of the rankings every so often. This horse has also been used to demonstrate the rankings limitation as well.

This will continue to be a problem until such things no longer exist... the most popular and also unpopular suggestion is to add energy usage for each player-made competition entry. We shall eventually see what our admins offer to us. :mrgreen:

And as for your last comment about hanging around for awhile. DO take your time to learn what you can and where you want about the game. Not everybody hangs around and people leave for different reasons. The best part about this game (looking from a money versus no money aspect) is a two-fold. The one side is that there is no real ability to pay to win on this game, dropping a ton of money does allow you to do certain things faster, like using turns, but it doesn't directly affect your ability to get to the top, no matter what top of the game you choose that is, and the other side is that anybody can still get to the top of the game in a fairly short amount of time (again depending on what top you choose for that to be), without ever spending a single dime on the game.

So you can upgrade to premium by simply grinding for PT, if you are still on the line of 'real money PT purchase? or not?'.
