I think it would upset all the people who've been buying them for 10+ passes in the sales, regardless of the coat. It's the item that would be the problem.

I used to go nuts buying DA for my horses, unfortunately I lost them all when I let too much time pass and my old account was deleted . Now all I've got are the screen shots of my favorites. If they were to bring the DA back I would start buying passes again as the only BMI that I buy are the GA and HR, I don't really care all that much about breeding the best horses, I just love the perdy coats

There's a whole website devoted to auto correct fails - I think its called autocowrecks or something like that

And yeah, even with it turned off - it can still cause problems (as depending on what phone you have, it will try to guess what you are typing (but I have learned you can train it - my phone has finally learned that I am trying to type Howrse [usually turned into Horse or House], Atrus [usually becomes Atrium], and other odd things)

True ~ forgot about that, so there might be some issues there

Ah well, it's just a dream - with all the new features and the like, I doubt it will be brought back (I have a feeling its probably down near the bottom of the to-do list)

I love spell check! It makes everything a whole heck of a lot funnier

ShorahNagi,:you are right there,thats my biggest worries if something like that was ever introduced.But then again,look at creation space- stolen art,stolen art,manips,smudged photos... reported over and over again and yet they always come back.

As a Diamond Apple collector, I'd love for the item to come back. The item would now be put on the new graphics, making the original DA coated equines still valuable. I'd go hog wild coating horses with Diamond Apples if it returned.

I heard it was coming back someday if they figured it out but was kind of set up different, and if you put it on your horse the horse became unsellable

metvelle;:that rings a bell...I belive I read something in Liliths forum for years ago about a item that would alllow you to put a grafic/photo on a horse (working as GA) but it then would become unsellable...
oh well, maybe that was the idea for new DA.But concidering how much updates they have to finish I guess it will be a while before we hear anything -if anything at all-about new DA.

That would be shutterfly!


And



I disagree Shorah, the numbers are tracked, in a way. Each coat (for the most part) is unique and rare, so it really only has 1 copy. (Of course there are many coats that are just a solid color like the palomino friesans, but you get my point)

They are extremely rare and I, personally, have paid over 1000 passes and countless equus for my collection. I don't wish for that to go down the drain. Benefits or not, I would not like to see it happen.
Their value would diminish greatly and I could see countless collectors voicing their negative opinions on the matter.

honestly, theres no reason it shouldnt come back if they can figure out the graphics. there isnt a trophy collection, there isnt a rarity level like the rcs, and its just a cool item in general.
you pay whatever you think you want to in the sales.
like the SOA was at 15-20 passes for a pestie and now you can get them for less than 10, it all matters at what you want at what time.

Oops, sorry I'm a little late to the discussion...

And @BigTimingFarm
If a new item was introduced that was slightly different than the DA, that would still preserve the original DA's rarity, I would be okay with that. And you're right. The new coats make a difference.

And Kate, I don't actually know if you were talking about Shutterfly But it cost 10 passes.

I remember way way back when some player mentioned that BMI. It was a silvery/pinkish/bluish apple that would grant a personalized coat that you could upload from your computer to the horse.

I guess it never passed testing.

well you see with the whole "taking pictures from google" and "drawing without votes"
then copy rights would be more an issue, and someone could just draw something inappropriate and upload it without being screened.

the avatars are a bit risky as is.

Yes we have new words in game

Computer, you blup you horse
mobile, you blare your horse

Computer, you spend equus
mobile, you spend equal.

@SweetBriar, I'm pretty sure the Shutterfly Splint Boot was 5 passes, occasionally on discount for 3. I got it on discount for one of my horses and promptly slapped a GA now RC on it because I was after the Boot for the Philosopher's Stone and bonuses rather than the coat haha

As for the whole DA debate, I agree with BigTimingFarm. The new 'DA' would be put on new graphics horses, old DAs would be on old graphics horses... it would probably end up like the whole PCS GA and CS GA thing. Some people will collect DAs on the old graphic horses, and some players will prefer DAs on the current graphics and collect these, with old DA graphics still turning out more valuable in the end because they have a limited number. It would really be all up to own preference, and DA collections wouldn't really lose value because they still are the same, limited no. of horses - there's just another facet to the whole thing that DA collectors can ignore if they want because new-graphic DAs would never really be as expensive as their collections of old-graphic DAs, which are limited in number as opposed to the new-graphic DAs (unless its a limited thing as well, in which case collectors could become new-graphic DA holders, old-graphic DA holders, or both, kind of like how GA collectors can be PCS GAs, or CS GAs, or both)

Me to I hope it comes back

@SweetBriar - true, again - I will admit that I did kind of forget about the collectors and how much people have paid for these horses.

All that aside (as I do not wish to see this turn into a giant debate about what would happen if Diamond Apples are brought back [like what happened with the Retired Golden Apple]) - anyone else want to join me in collecting fruit and vegetables to hurl at the Admins so that they either open Preprod or give us more information on stuff?

I've got your back!

So you can buy it in sales for that?

Oh no, the item cost that much. And now that I think about it, Haoang was right. the Shutterfly Splint Boot BMI which gave the horse the coat cost 5 passes, then 3 passes.

In the sales now they're much more. Not sure how much.

Here's a nice pie to threaten them with if preproduction doesn't open quickly....

As you can tell, very large, to make sure we get our point across

That better be some kind of fruit pie...though they seem to like pies (and other desserts) - that's why I figured get the fruits and vegetables...

I don't think it matters how much you like pies if it's ruined your nice new suit that you wore to work today even though you just sit. At a computer by yourself.
