Well,
Click to display Keeping just the bigger forums and deleting the small ones is still UNFAIR, and terribly so. Who are the small servers that they can just trample all over them? How is it fair that it's always them suffering and pleading and "Please just let us be"? Now I'm not advocating that we all get the forums deleted, I'm saying that NONE OF US does.

Now I'm not advocating that we all get the forums deleted, I'm saying that NONE OF US does. Absolutely agreed. I truly feel that this might be a cost issue as I think they may just not want to pay to modernize the howrse forums, and instead have just decided to use discord instead and claim its the best option to "modernize". It's probably a lot cheaper to just use another platform than pay to completely revamp your own platform. It's not just the small servers but also the language issues which are very sad as well. I think it's very unfair just to dump everyone onto one server and require everyone to speak english. It's like a slap in the face to everyone who doesn't speak english.

Fact is... am I the only one thinking that they're just fine as it is and don't need modernizing?
In fact, I CLEARLY remember us fighting on all versions to keep this green, because the pure white forum they'd revamped was a danger to people suffering from Migraines. I know I'm just wishing on shooting stars here, but aren't the forums just... nice? They're nice. They're cozy. They're fine as it is.

I think they're fine. but I understand why they'd want to modernize to try and attract a different type of audience and broaden their reach

But we're not an TTRPG or a MMORPG or something, we're a website, we're basically N**p*ts but "make it more realistic or maybe not". There's no reach a Discord server will give you, since you're split in 28 smaller servers all different from each other with different languages.

Click to display Well, can't say I'm terribly shocked. Many of these ridiculous decisions howrse has made in these recent years has certainly made many long time players quit. What they're planning to do with the forums here just might be the last nail in the coffin for me. I can't believe how many times howrse has blatantly ignored it's own player base, and I feel we've been far too tolerant of it. I used to love this game growing up, but it's clear that this isn't that same game anymore and it hasn't been for a long time. |
Click to display Since they haven't announced this here or in the French servers (last I heard) could this possibly be limited or intended for the smaller servers? It would make a little more sense that since smaller serves have so few people, they might get a better sense of community if they had a place to interact with other Howrse users speaking the same language even if on different servers. Whereas our server(s) are much more large and active, so our forums are fairly active as well.

Whereas our server(s) are much more large and active, so our forums are fairly active as well. 'Sense of community' where they can only speak English and they're banned if a sentence or two of their language slips through? Oh boy, I'd best not mention what those words together would entail Not to mention the fact that different versions have different games. I would like just to stress how DIFFERENT they are. On the Italian server the Arabian Horse's best skill is SPEED, how is this going to create a sense of community? Also, the forums here are positively dozing compared to a few years ago
|
Click to display I don't think it's a reason to get rid of their forums, I'm just discussing that perhaps our server at least might not need be worried about our forums. Doesn't matter that forums use to be more active before, we get daily activity. Some of the smaller servers can go days without anyone saying much of anything. I'm guessing Howrse would see the smaller server forums as no longer worth keeping. Also, what does horse skills have to do with community? Sharing in spoilers, discussing events, and just generally knowing we all enjoy the same horse game is community. I think the addition of a Discord where those smaller communities can meet is a nice one. It doesn't make sense to completely remove the forums though because literally every concern already stated. Their servers being small doesn't change how little sense it makes to rely solely on another platform and skip over security/safety concerns. And just because there is an English discord to start doesn't mean they won't follow with other languages. It's typical Howrse fashion to include separate spaces for other languages.

Click to display And expecting the younger players to speak english? great for them if they already do, but . . . uh . . . i get that english is a commonly-spoken language, but not everyone should absolutely have to learn it in order to play a game.

Whereas our server(s) are much more large and active, so our forums are fairly active as well. this may not seem a big issue, but as nalu said, how is it community if, say, it does happen that they're not allowe to speak polish, or dutch, or russian, or whatever their language is? not saying that it's gonna happen, but it might. plus, it's not as if the littler servers are struggling. they're doing fine. but now? i dunno. maybe with this update, the large chunk of players that slips through howrse's fingers will finally get them to realize what the feline vomit they've been doing.

I’m chocked and disgusted tbh. At the same time I really shouldn’t be, since we’ve seen all these social media info popping up left, right and center. Click to display Still never in a million years have I even for a split second thougt they would pull such a stunt. Move forums to Discord…. seriously? No way as in EVER will I follow you there. Be forced to log on to check forum news, promos etc etc, to know what’s going on with the gane. Debate with players, exchange knowledge, ask for advice etc. Sure I am on Discord, but only to connect with a few people. I don’t even follow howrse on neither fb, instagram, tiktok etc. If I need to link my profile here to Discord, the time really had come to sit back and watch this ship sink . I’m so ticked off right now, I’ll stop posting more.

Wow look my message was blocked like I said in that blocked message I'm always blocked out or ignored with my pleads so I'm just gonna watch this fall apart I don't care anymore if Howrse wants to hide the truth I speak with what may happen go ahead your game will die though but like I care go ahead block me and ban me if you want it just shows more of what you try to hide you have to think about others and if that can't be done then I don't wanna support this

This game is slowly going downhill and I'm just watching it happen I will just keep getting blocked if I try telling the Howrse team the bad things that will happen if they do this but what do I know of I'm just a fellow looser k?

Click to display the server is absolutely unregulated and a risk for any young players, also in violation of discords TOS. i sincerely hope they dont replace all the forums for that mess

Okay now everyone's pleads are getting blocked this is just sad to watch as hundreds of fans despretly try to keep what's left of this game alive. I'm kinda getting annoyed at the devs at this point fans give support and they still ignore whats the point anymore I'm not trying to protest because I rather not get in trouble but this is a new low this is what make games die I seen these happen before kay? Hundreds of people supported one game and then they decied to make this stupid update that'll cause the game play to not be fun anymore and boom the game is dead now and nobody plays

By Retired breeder, 26th October 2021 19:48:15
These devs don't care what we think and are blocking us so you know what I won't say I told you so when it does die so go ahead do it you been warned of what would happen go ahead this game is already dying lets just finish it off with a bang and end the game.

By Retired breeder, 26th October 2021 19:50:16
But I didn't even say anything wrong to get blocked I didn't abuse caps or swear or avertize or be rude I'm kinda starting to hate this games develupment ways and ignorence
