I have been playing this game for many years and recently it has went downhill and many players have parted ways. It is called "Horse Isle" (the first, not second) and it's a great game for all ages, young and old. Many different breeds, color, etc.
most online horse games have gone way downhill.. I know I play Howrse, and its gone to pot over the last few months, so much so that I only spend a few minutes there a day
Yup, I had a HI2 account, went away for a week and when I came back it had been deleted for inactivity...I'll have to try HI1
I do play on Howrse (Same name as on here.) I still like it, but I came home after a weekend away and found all these changes to the meadows and crops and future changes to the EC's listed as upcoming. Maybe Owlient shouldn't have sold the game to UbiSoft.
As someone who is currently looking for a horse and a new instructor, I have some time on my hands during the day, so I play Howrse. At least I can own 90+ horses for nothing, except fake Howrse money, LOL.
I was actually one of the first to play HI1, and LOVED it. Played on Cremello, had a year subscription that I renewed every year, had millions and millions of dollars, fully upgraded ranch, the whole nine yards. Then I got real horses, and didn't have time to maintain it. I think I gave the account away to one of my Buddies.
I played HI2 as well, helped Beta Test it and played for just a bit after it was all up and running. But of course, I have the real horses, so no time!
I play HI2 been on eternal for about 3 years now. I cant always go play with my real horsie and i am an avid gamer. Its not hard to find me online. i am ALWAYS KigerQueen XD!
Same here, I always try to go by the same name, I think the only games I wasn't Horseychick87 were/ are HI2, I was Horsey Chick, and Pottermore, where I'm FeatherHex7516. Pottermore didn't give me the option to choose a username, they gave me three or four to pick from. (I got Gryffindor though! XD, Yes I'm a Potterhead, LOL.)
I played on HI1 on the Dun server under the name ClearDonkey for yearssss. Now I am part of whatever the last busy server on there is, I'm drawing a blank now :lol:
I played on HI1 for awhile as well as RopeHorse. I haven't been on though. I moved from the Bay server to Pinto, then lost interest. I started a Horse account but want much of a fan. I got the Sims 3 game with a bunch of expansion packa, and I play on then in the winter when it's really cold. Which isn't very often considering I'm in Missouri.
They redid the horseisle 2 genetics with the server split. horse isle Life cycle there are color, pattern and general stat genetics. im actually quite impressed. And they have added popular cross breeds and grade horses (pony, draft, and riding horse). There are appendix QHs, Morabs as well as using other breeds to create current ones like a Andalusian bred to a mustang has a chance to create a kiger.
I also like the fact i can go out into the world and find wild horses (slim chance on life cycle) and how the horses grow from foals. Everyone jumped ship onto LC so i have been slowly building um my money on eternal. Im going to sell all my barns on lc and buy new stock. i hit a genetic dead end with my kigers and they have all passed on by now.
Those are some impressive ponies!! Love those stats, you can get a pretty penny for those maxed horses, especially the 5/6 and 6/6 ones.
You said you were an avid gamer, which sparked my eye XD I'm also a gamer, but not for PC. I stick to console, 99% PS3 though I've toyed around with Xbox once or twice.
I just play on HI1. I tried HI2 but at the time I had a horrible computer and all the graphics made it spaz out. I may try it again soon. I'm on Howrse as well and try to get on them both at least twice a week just to keep my account alive. I've tried pretty much every online horse game, but with my real life horses now it's been reduced to just HI and Howrse lol
I play Howrse have done for 6 years not liking these new changes though, oh well I'll get used to them as I have always it has changed so much in the 6 years I've been playing I do wish you could do better with out spending money it is unfair.
I play HEE too. i just never really got into it. I was big on Another Horse Sim but they have management issues and then the game when down and they wiped it. so that was 5 months of work lost.
I used to always play Howrse, has lots of horses and then didn't play for a year and my account for deleted. Now I play as RedWingBlackBird. I don't like some of the new changes. Although I am really happy they have Curlies now. I always start with Standardbreds, but I will be ditching them for Curlies. They game is so much easier now. It used to actually be a challenge to have money and breed good horses. Now they pretty much give you two immortal horses to start with. I wish they would make color genetics more legit. I bred a bay and a grey and got buckskin tobiano. And grey foals are born grey. It is strange. Posted via Mobile Device
I know most of the howrse changes have me ready to throw in the towel sometimes, I don't feel like renewing my VIP anymore, the game isn't worth spending anything on anymore, you get nothing in return
Im too cheep for consoles. I stopped with them after the wii (i cried when it bricked... no more zelda for me...) Im looking at downloading a N64 emulator for my computer. Since i own the game(sadly dont have my n64 anymore) i can get the file for the emulator for ocarina of time. I bet you can guess my fave part of zelda is XD!
Lemon, Yes its easy (at least for HI2 i never figured out HI1). there is a Noob island where they give you a basic tutorial. then you have to acquire your own horse and tack. On eternal its not hard. there are daily jobs (puzzle like games) that you can do to make money. If you join male me and i can set you up with a nice starter horse. I like helping people
Only play horse now. I love how I can choose how much time to spend on it by taking care of only one horse or all of them. The changes threw me for a loop, but I'm still going. I'm kage on there if anyone wants to friend me.
Basically, they replaced turnips with Mash, condensed all 3 kinds of mash into 1 kind that can be given every day, enabled EC to grow fodder and oats to offer boarders.
They also messed with the field size for EC and deleted a job or two...
Hmm...that could go a lot of different ways. However I'm ok with deleting a job or two in the EC. I could never keep enough grooms around.
