HI3 Server Update (December 4, 2023)
 | Whew, families and responsibilities took us away from development this summer, but here is a quick update. We are sitting down to work hard for another update before the holidays here! Have A Happy December! :)
Additions & Changes: + %SUPERSNOOP + %ALLOWSNOOP Enables anyone to see your current super orders. + Anomaly automatically makes an adventure party and invites everyone to it. In an attempt to reduce chaos :) + <2yo no need to apply cruppers/collars + Snow Covered Pine Tree now Planter-able. + Added Current Course Description & Rules to top of COURSES menu. + Traders now hide Suckling Mares. New Traders Added: + Petite Petisos- Petiso Argentinos + Finnish Your Warmbloods, Dear- Finnish Warmblood + Blackest of Forests- Black Forest Chestnut + Voronezhhhh in the Library- Voronezh Coach and Sub + Kiger Spirit of the West- Kiger Mustang A New Sport Breed: + Artistic Sporthorse Added Performance Metrics & Updated BBB info into the new layout: + Ardennais + Argentine Criollo + Argentine Polo Pony + Hackney (including subtypes) + Selle Francais A Massive Mealy Update: Old breeds, new coats: + Started adding mealy (pangare) to many breeds except for breeds with strict color standards where the mealy might interfere with the desired color (e.g. Friesian, Mallorquin, Menorquin, etc.) + This will unlock new coats (e.g. sorrel and mealy bays) that show a subtle "mealy" effect that exists in many breeds. + Breeds that have this type of mealy added to them will have "minimal-mealy" listed in their BBB color info. Simply check your favorite breed's BBB info to see if they have the new mealy update applied to them. Penalties and limitations: + This means no more penalty for carrying the mealy gene, BUT there will be 100% penalty for horses who show excessive mealiness. [This penalty is not negotiable, and it simply replaces the original a 100% penalty for carrying the mealy gene.] + The mealy gene will still be rare in these breeds. + The darker the coat, the more visible the effect will be. Very light coats are likely to look the same. How to get these brand new coats? + Technically you "can" breed the mealy gene into these breeds, but you'll likely end up with a grade foal due to conformation penalties. + We recommend you use a super-token instead, because all you need is one stallion that carries the mealy gene which you then can breed to numerous mares without any conformation issues. + Among the breeds that enjoy this update are: Paint and Quarter horses, Appaloosa, American Miniature, American Dutch Harness, German Riding Pony, Groningen. This is a partial list. + This "mealy" update is still WIP, so not all breeds are affected yet. To know if your favorite breeds were updated, simply check their BBB "Coats & Height" section info for "minimal-mealy". Additional breed tweaks: + Added leopard and frame-overo (both extremely rare) to the Selle Francais. You can now breed for these coats aor order them via super tokens. + Added more info as well as a 'conformation' section to the Ardennais breed info. + Added the Campeiro to the Walkaloosa's parentage list. |

Corniest Server Glitch Ever (July 8, 2023)

You all handled it awesomely. The Pun-nishing Cornfusion was excellent to see :) Here are just a few of the comments noticed: Quiet: thats so corny Nautilis: my corndolances Quiet: i feel a pop quiz about corn sizzling Nautilis: it reads almost like a prank, you know? whoever did it is gonna get a real earful Quiet: I bet they are Stalking Global now Nautilis: let's hope the perp isn't too husk-y KayLaGale: for just a kernel of information OhSoLovely: Too bad we can't have some silky races while it's like this Equilibrium: well don't reveal who they are, going on and tassel-ing on them Nautilis: these are a-maize-ing CruelSummer: agreed that we shouldn't cob-ble them KayLaGale: it's just the silken threads in our minds DesertDun: Aw, shucks! HauntedHallow: maybe this glitch will let us all live in peas and hominy HauntedHallow: these jokes have really been the cream of the crop Talia: You should never tell a secret in a field of corn because they have too many ears! Talia: A person who is crazy about corns is called a corn-ivore! Talia: Let me give you a kernel of truth, Haunted is absolutely correct. Talia: ah all i got was i'll seed you later "corndolences" And note, we have been hard at work at a complex content update :) soonish! Have a great day! |
