but will the free pass still be 1, or will it be 10?

Just keep in mind that that 100 passes is basically the same value as the 1 pass you are getting now. Prices for BMI are being adjusted to reflect the system.

Basically we are being given a lesson in currency inflation and how it affects an economy.

Fortunately, this is a balanced adjustment - what was previously 1 pass with still be roughly the equivalent of 1 old pass or 100 new passes. (In some cases it gives the devs the ability to lower prices).

Just remember you will be paying approximately 100 passes for something that previously cost 1 pass.

I can't wait to hear the wailing and moaning from those who only see the price increases without correlating them to the amount of passes they now have - or if they don't have passes not truly understanding the change.

Christmas Sleigh


This year we get a brand new contest for Christmas: we’re going on Sleigh rides with reindeer to get gifts.

How does it work?


You own a sleigh that you have to equip with reindeer to go on a trip to get a gift.

There are several levels of destinations, that you unlock as you progress during the contest – the value of the gifts increases with the levels.

Each level also unlocks an additional Reindeer slot, for a total of 4 slots.

Every day you can open the Christmas Chest to get bonuses or aging snowflakes for the contest.

There are bonuses that you can use to travel faster.


Reindeer
There are 5 reindeer in total, including last year’s Blitzen, and several ways to obtain them: tutorial, contest, daily chets, Advent calendar, special offers.

Going on trips uses up their vitality (and time). You can refill their vitality by: feeding them, giving them to drink, feeding them a candy cane and stroking them. These also also take time and can be performed once per reindeer day.

Once they don’t have any energy left and you have used all the refill options, you can put them to bed.

If you don’t want to wait until the next update, you can wake up your reindeer by using Aging Snowflakes. You can get these Snowflakes in the daily Christmas chests, when you take your horses on Mountain rides (3/day) and on the Black Market.

When you have more than 1 Reindeer slot, the order in which you put them to bed is important and affects their vitality regeneration. For example Donner gives Blitzen 10% vitality and vice versa, Cupid gives 10% to the reindeer in front of and behing her. Check out the contest help page for all the details. You’ll have to see which strategy you want to use.

Note: during the contest, you cannot go to your Reindeer through the breeding farms, you can only care for them on the contest page.

They’ll stay on the player’s game after the contest ends, but won’t bring any bonuses.



Bonuses

You can use bonuses to accelerate the trips you take/reduce the vitality required.

Speed skis: You double the kilometers you travel on a specific trip.

Padded Horseshoes: It divides the required vitality consumed on a specific trip by 2

Additional Reindeer: It gives an additional +10 Km progress and saves 30 vitality points on a specific trip.

The North Star:
If your reindeer are too tired, you can rely on the North Star and they will progress by 35 kilometers without using up any time or vitality.

How to get Bonuses:

- take your horses for rides

- open a christmas chest every day

- from the Advent Calendar

There are 4 possible levels of destination but the number of reindeer required goes up the more valuable the prizes are

Gingerbread and Honey-spice bread belong to the pastries divines. They can have foals of the following breeds:

Thoroughbred, Gipsy Vanner, Hackney-only on versions INT, FR, DE.

The male version can be won on level 3 and the female version on level 4 in the contest.
These horses cannot be sold.

Well, these divines seem better than Cupcake and Fairy cake as they give a different, (and in some cases better), horses when you breed them. But then again, the foals will most likely have pretty low GP, right? They're designs do look very cute, and I do think that gingerbread divines are a good edition to the Pastry divines, because gingerbread is a much beloved part of Christmas time.

All the pastry divines will give foundie GP. What they do that is special is the skill set when born is a big jump from what you would expect.

Do those reindeer stay on as divines that count toward the divine trophy like Blitzen?

We were told we do get to keep the reindeer.

The reindeer...Prancer is the one in back, I'm guessing Cupid is the one with the red blanket, Donner is the (in my opinion) really cool looking one with the lightning-like antlers in front of Cupid, and Comet is the one in the very front

not including the reindeers, in ONE event?! Wow...

The reindeers look really cool, I especially like Prancer and Donner. I mean come on, Donner as THE coolest antlers.

It's not that uncommon. Other promo's, yes, but the christmas Promo usually has quite a few divines.

Oops, sorry, I never noticed with the Christmas event! But these divines seem pretty good:

Ran
Ich Liebe Dich
Rehua
and Goibniu

It is expected the Advent calendar will start on Dec 1 and the promo shortly after. This would be much like previous years.
