Breeding Changes Compromise    (Poll started: August 1, 2019)

Breeding Changes Compromise poll details:
There are many folks with strong feelings about our breeding and LifeCycles. We have tried hard to find some tweaks that everyone can be content with.

Compromise involves:

#1) Our World is a land of magic where things grow and develop quickly, the plants and trees regrow after harvesting, and Horses Develop (even in utero) 2x faster than in the real world. So, this means a pregnancy will take a week. And that horse will be 4yo within a month. After 4yo the aging process reverts to normal. And your horse can be expected to live between 1 and 1.5 real years.

#2) Gravida and Geminus amulets to remain at 4x. May or may not reduce pricing. So Gravida preg = about 2 days, Geminus = about 1 week to breedable

#3) Horse maturity to remain at 4yo. *Possible* compromise on this may be 3.5yo but not sure if enough of a benefit then to bother.

#4) We will still work to add more things to do with foals in the future, exp benefits, possible personality training.

COMMENTS: (names left off to let the ideas speak for themselves) Please only comment if you are adding something (don't just repeat your vote)

I like the idea of cheaper amulets. Even if you can afford them, you can buy easier in game (voted:3 pid:61)

I worry that if foals are too easy to grow, long term the game will suffer. (voted:3 pid:131)

I was a bigger fan of the idea of temporary amulets bought with essence but this is okay (voted:2 pid:143)

I'm unable to click on anything to vote but my choice is #1 (voted:0 pid:195)

Love the compromise. Thank you so much for considering player's opinions! (voted:1 pid:197)

Penguins are love, penguins are life (voted:4 pid:231)

I prefer the old aging system. I wasn't presured to play every day so my horses don't go to waste. (voted:2 pid:351)

Still think gravida/geminus amulets should be cheaper too. (voted:1 pid:385)

Love this compromise! I think this'll make most happy. (voted:1 pid:478)

Do this, but make Gravida & Geminus x2 & then lower pricing by half. Otherwise OP. (voted:3 pid:534)

Still miserably slow for players that cannot pay-to-play. (voted:3 pid:642)

I still think that a 6mo+ lifespan is enough with Infinitum use, but compromise is fine. (voted:1 pid:657)

I am concerned about the effect of a glut of young horses on the market and future inflation. (voted:2 pid:750)

i think that the speeded growth will cause inflation in game much quicker in the long run (voted:3 pid:893)

I also support the idea of cheaper amulets, even if its temporary (voted:0 pid:909)

Wish foals would be 4yr faster then a month but with the Geminus I can get over it! Love the rest! (voted:1 pid:954)

Horse population may become to large too fast with faster foal aging (voted:2 pid:1035)

I feel like the Geminis is a bit too strong now. Why not put it back to 2x? (voted:4 pid:1067)

I'm just here for the four penguins called Skipper, Rico, Kowalski and Private. (voted:4 pid:1531)

Long term, a slower paced game holds up better imo. (voted:4 pid:1634)

Speeding breeding without death will cause an influx of horses and hurt the economy (voted:3 pid:2073)

Why not just keep game in beta, speed everything up until you add more content? (voted:3 pid:2206)

2x speed will devalue mobia and hurt the economy. Extra perks for essence/mobia could work. (voted:3 pid:2385)

**I think disposable amulets will be beneficial if they are ever considered. (voted:1 pid:2744)

Game is free to play: PERKS cost but supports the creators. Happy to pay for perks! (voted:1 pid:3490)

Since you would be making aging 2x faster, I don't think amulets should be cheaper. (voted:1 pid:3845)

Agree with cheaper amulets for affordability sake, even just a couple dollars instead of half. (voted:1 pid:4261)

Good compromise. Gravidas should NOT be cheaper. Foal overpopulation may be an issue (voted:1 pid:4777)

I'd still prefer 2x total aging, because this will result in far more foals overall. (voted:1 pid:4958)

Preferred option 2 from the last poll. This compromise might cause a glut of horses without a market (voted:2 pid:5000)
