From page 341:

Great, thank you Aly37.

Some catch up on new news. I normally do not post rumors but considering some info is coming from the OW on another server it might be nice to have some possible insight to what may be coming in the next few months regarding the Big Challenge.

First from the danish server.



So that brought about this question.



ADMIN stated



And this is speculation as a result of the posts above.



So you are as up to date as I am.

@Cyber
Wow ! If that happens that'd be amazing!

Also to strengthen part of what Cyberhorse said
At the bottom if the Big Challenge page it no longer says "after the festivities end a new Big Challenge will begin! Get ready!"

Thanks for that update Cyber. I am actually surprised the servers are not more out of sync when you think about it. Aren't we something like the largest server after Int? A lot of the smaller servers have far less activities, Kudos to the Danish server for continuing to truck along though.

What surprises me the most is how far ahead the Canadian server is when it is so dead over there. Their most active thread gets a reply on average once every other day..and that is considered active.

I am surprised that the US is the slowest of the servers I am on so we need to get more active to catch up.

However I am excited about what may be in store for us for the usual promo around the Christmas season though.

Aly73- Oh... My... Goodness!!!! Baby Cloud is adorable!!

As long as it is not another Magic Ride I will be okay with it. The Calender will be nice to see back, and I do hope they continue the tradition of presents at the north pole that can only be opened Christmas and after. That is a fun little anticipation build up there for the Holidays. I would even be content without a divine over Christmas for one year.

I'm looking for what cloud looks like? the divine you can get when you breed rain and geyser together does anyone know and if they do can they show me a picture?

Agreed, I am not a fan of the magic ride.

@crazygirl check page 342 and 341

I know I'm a little late, but the link still works so does that mean that it's confirmed to be coming this year?

Yes Cloud will be coming. We now have his mother rain available and when she is bred to Geyser the foal will be Cloud

I think lays means the Olympus Pack.

I think Cloud has Lipizzaner in it. Right body type, color and even has the bit of roman nose.

Cyber: Canada is very slow I play over there with Welsh Ponies, I never bother with their forums. The players are very active in regular game play however, that must be how they get going so fast. Plus they only need 90k horseshoes for the Festivities to our 290k.

I know it's all in relation to size but when you factor in the Divines that gift horseshoes and can 'stack' that bonus up to 5... They move fast. They're over 20k right now.

This isn't really a spoiler, but I find it funny how each server has their own top breed. Here it's between the TBs and Tekes, International's reigning champion is the Lustiano and on Canada it's the Friesian. Just interesting to see when you wander through the servers.

Now as to the Olympus Pack, is the Asguard Pack coming back as well? It was a more limited option but there is also still a link for it. It was about half the price (I bought it and chose Cascade).

I agree 100% - this is a terrific work of art!

We cannot say for certain. Admin rarely gives heads up on that sort of thing. However, I would suspect it comes back, since it is a very lucrative offer for Howrse to keep as an option to its players. I would point out the first year it was offered alone at least a good 25 or more players took advantage of it on this server at least once, since we do not have Xanthos and that is the only way he has been offered on this server. I am sure there have been plenty of others. It has in the past always been a decent offer when you consider a Divine plus a sizable number of passes. Last year it got tweaked, but was still notable for being 'fair' in regards to price, to a point.

Yes I did, the link still works. So is that a hint that it is coming?

The links have worked all year. I don't think it is any kind of hint - it's just easier for the designers to leave that page in case they bring it back sometime, so they don't have to re-code the same page again.

What I would like to see is some adjustments made to the Bewitched Pumpkin coats. I think horns/wings can be incorporated easily enough into those coats. The bat form already has wings. Wouldn't be too difficult to add a horn. Plus, I'd like to see how the wings work on the skeleton form.

Wait- did someone say magic ride is coming back?!
