Breeding LifeCycle (Poll started: July 31, 2019)
Breeding LifeCycle poll details:
Do not vote lightly on this poll. Our goal from the start has been a single HI3 server, so we are not considering multiple servers at this time, let's just try to find the best balance here.
Any changes to the breeding Lifecycle will have pros and cons.
How it is currently:
1yr+ lifespan
2week pregnancies
Gravida=4x pregnancies (~4 days) @ $10
#1) I'm happy! Everything should remain as is.:


(20 votes / 11%)
#2) Would prefer 2x aging, with the understanding that my horse will DIE twice as soon. 6mo+ lifespan, 1week preg, :


(88 votes / 49%)
#3) Would prefer simply discounting Gravida to be more accessible. $5. Leave all else the same.:


(21 votes / 12%)
#4) Would prefer Gravida had an 8x effect. (Geminus also 8x) (2 day pregs) (you will get it back 2x sooner, so fewer Gravida needed):


(45 votes / 25%)
#5) We all just get one horse. And that's our horse. And we can hug it and squeeze it and hold it tight.:

add slow down aging amulet if going with #2 for people who don't like it/Infinium (voted:4 pid:50)
Not fond of halving my horse's lifespans to breed them faster. (voted:4 pid:51)
I would appreciate the 2x aging as I am really into the breeding aspect of the game (voted:2 pid:69)
Not keen on halving lifespans, 1year+ felt like one of the main selling points (voted:4 pid:100)
Users will lose interest fast with current timing. After serious thought, 4 def sounds best option. (voted:4 pid:124)
Stuck between #3 and #4. Either of these seems like it would be great! (voted:4 pid:127)
More gravidas! I get more foals and I can enjoy my horses for a long time. (voted:3 pid:131)
There was no "no strong op" option but I don't want super quick death. (voted:4 pid:151)
Not very happy with how many people want 2x aging lol (voted:4 pid:181)
Like #1 but feel need compromise Discount geminus Don't like increased aging (voted:3 pid:245)
Cheaper gravidas please for those of us with bad currency conversions (voted:3 pid:285)
definitely want 2x. i haven't seen some of my buds in 2 weeks. i'm lonely and sad (voted:2 pid:308)
Def want 2x. Others still leave foal growth too slow. (voted:2 pid:335)
For the longterm health of the game, 1 RL week=1 game year is perfect. (voted:2 pid:385)
I feel like faster aging would both help player retention and encourage sales of Infinitum amulets. (voted:2 pid:657)
Given how much more complex breeding is on here, I think 1wk would work much better. (voted:2 pid:684)
Not fond of halving my horse's lifespans to breed them faster (voted:4 pid:725)
Not a fan of horses aging faster. Two weeks is not that long, barns will fill quickly. (voted:3 pid:750)
1 year is just too long for s virtual horse, i am very happy to half the lifespan and pregnancy term (voted:2 pid:766)
Love the 8x as fast option! Gravida is very affordable already (voted:4 pid:795)
8x- keep people engaged, won't kill off horses faster if people don't want (voted:4 pid:856)
I believe that HI3 could lose a lot of older players if the lifespan is halved. (voted:1 pid:1035)
Would prefer that amulets were more powerful, worth the cost and not lose horse lifespan. (voted:4 pid:1102)
I really really do not want 2x aging. (voted:1 pid:1501)
SUPER strongly NO 2x- ifI orderAhorse, I want toEnjoyItForLonger. BuyA gravida IfYouWantFastBreeding (voted:1 pid:1568)
Definitely want 2x - 6 months lifespan is about right (voted:2 pid:1690)
Would like an amulet to make horses age 2× slower if it gets sped up, if possible. (voted:4 pid:1762)
2x aging and breeding to help with breeding projects please! (voted:2 pid:1908)
Not fond of halving lifespan- Maybe an amulet for either slowing or speeding up lifespan? (voted:4 pid:2819)
6 month lifespan is good for me (prefer Infinitum), and switching gravidas gets tiring (voted:2 pid:2861)
2x everything please. It's 4 weeks to usability for a foal, which is just to long (voted:2 pid:3596)
There should be an amulet that makes your horse age slower as well if #3 passes. (voted:2 pid:3845)
I think the 2x aging would help bring in a larger userbase & more mobia sales. (: (voted:2 pid:4049)
I'd like to see both 2x normal aging, and 8x Gravida & Geminus (voted:2 pid:4958)
No lifespan. Let foals age to adults, and then remain adults. No need for death. There are Attachment issues. (voted:0 pid:14921)
