[Info] The Retired Coat Gallery

This thread is here to show off your Retired Coats. This is not the place to post non retired coats. **The two exceptions would be coats that have been pulled (brief discussions) and the pre release coats.

REMEMBER:

******** absolutely no sales talk, no talk about spares or how many extras of a copy you got and selling them to fund your RC habit this is just a place to talk RCs

* although links and graphics are ok on this thread, they are not allowed normally on public forums

* any negative or unkind comments on artists or coats (or anyone!) will be removed, and depending on the case, it might mean an instant forum ban.

* DO NOT use this as a place to sell your horse/coats-if you feel the need to break this rule, it will mean an instant forum ban...

** Sales ads are NOT allowed in any public forums. Asking for spare coats will now be considered a sales ad. This includes stating that you plan to sell a coat, or point out coats for sale in sales.

* Do not use this place as a spot for rants or complaints-About coats/BG/or each other.

* This is not the place to ask players to price your coats, or to ask others the worth of a coat, you can check uses on your own by hovering your mouse over the gray apple and price it from there.

* This is not the place to bring up the subject of stolen images. Keep in mind that the rules of the BP used to be very different, and many old coats are from that time.
There is not any reason to bring that up, or report the coats.

*Please do not do a coat countdown for soon to retire coats.

* Please do not post coats that are currently in the GA and have either not retired, or will never retire.

* Please do not post coat/bg combos or ask opinions on them, except following coat release.

* Some coats may be removed in the future, whether that be for problems with the coats itself or just because they're clearing room on the server to allow other coats to be uploaded - if you're buying retired coats, please keep that in mind. If you want a permanent copy, I would recommend saving the graphic to your computer

* How to discover who many uses a New GC coat will retire-There is now a coat countdown in the GA, and it will show how many have been used and how many uses there are left.

** There is now a new creations directory which shows all coats. Go to Community>>>Directories>>>Creations>>>Click more criteria, and on the left hand side is a gold and silver apple. Click the silver apple and search to see all retired coats.

* To see who created/how many uses/name/or if you have it already of a RC coat, simply click on the silver apple, and it will tell you.

*** Posting links to other player's coats is NOT allowed and can mean a forum ban.

*#*#*#* If players feel the need break the main topic rules, such as sales ads/coat countdowns/spares-you can expect an instant forum ban without any warning prior to it *#*#*#*

I didn't expect to find this sweet yummy coat in the sales! Each time I found it for sale before it was always too expensive for me, happy I could finally buy it for a reasonable price.

I'm supposed to be saving, but I did another thing! It's the first Sighthoundlady coat I've added in ages, and I'm quite close to finishing that collection, so I figured I'd best get it now

It's a cute coat. The eyes and muscle tone different. It also has cute wings that looks like a butterfly.

I noticed last night that one was close to retiring!

I dont know about you guys but I am slightly panicked about the new species categories being added. I am one who likes to add coats to a horse that correspond to the breed. For instance, a fjord coat on a fjord pony, a marwari or akhal teke, Arabian, gypsy vanner, shetland, haffy... you get the idea...on the matching breed. Since the coats will be assigned according to what species is wearing the coat the most, I'm hoping that enough of you are like minded enough to make most of them be in the matching species category! Sigh lol. There is no way I can get all of them on the appropriate species in time, and it always makes me cringe when they are incorrectly assigned. Maybe it's just me, but I hope not! I wish the uni and pegasus coats weren't gonna be divided further.

I just realized my post did not necessarily pertain to RCs...sorry if it was the wrong place to mention it!default smiley :s

Famousamos, I do the same! I try to make the horses "fit" the coat with breed or at least color if I can! For example, so there's not a white coat on a black horse. But with already retired coats, my standards are different! There's limited numbers, so if I like it, I better get it. default smiley ;)

I remember Sighthoundlady from back in the day. I had a lot of her coats on my old account 7-8 years ago. I just took a look in the directory at her old coats and it's astonishing to me that these coats that were once so popular are under 200 left, most under 100 left.

It makes me wonder how many RC collectors are still here and hang on throughout the years (for argument sake, 5 years?). Maybe less than 100?

Yeah RCs are different...i take what i can get. I have many GAs that i did not personally match the coat and color. But whenever possible, you can bet your boots they will match lol. And yeah i cannot believe how few there are of some of her coats...they are gorgeous! I made sure to get them all and am very thankful now for it.

Honestly, i know when coats are released it can take very little time for those 100 use coats to retire, but i'm surprised it doesn't go faster. I mean, this server has over 160,000 players right now. I guess by the time you subtract inactive accounts, those who don't care to collect, and newer players who don't know/can't afford the coats, and even those who can't make release for one reason or another, and yes, those who forget lol, you might get a bit closer to the 100 players who make it. And some of those players who do make it buy multiple coats, so yeah, i'm surprised it doesn't go even faster than it does. I know even the 200 use coats used to go pretty fast, in a day or less, if i remember right. Now they can go for months, and in some cases, years! It definitely seems as if the base of collectors has shrunk. I myself am approaching my 8th Howrse-iversary (10 days and counting!default smiley 8-) ) and have no plans of slowing down on collecting, or quitting. It took me a while to catch on to the fact that coat releases were happening and when they were happening when i was new (i had the dumbdefault smiley :pdefault smiley (lol) ) but eventually i figured out how it worked, started collecting, and the rest is history!

12 years here...
cost is what keeps me from getting new coats now.. which is frustrating as I love collecting..
but it takes all i get from my divines just to renew my VIP. have no luck with sales,
and can never part with a coat once i have it.. lol
and now adding the element of a possible retired helios ray to a retired coat... well that takes care of those leaving as well..lol
