Has preproduction opened yet? I'm anxious for new info

Nope. You can tell because no one has posted new information

No, no, no, and no.
1. VIP can be bought with money just as anything in life. Offer the right amount of money, you can get whatever you want. But it also can be earned without money.

2. Most VIPs simply placed in the top 100 rosette rankings (very easily) at the beginning of the month. Skill a horse, win 30 rosettes on the first of the month and you've qualified for the VIP.

3. Yes it's 10 passes a month. And yes that is very achievable for non-pass buyers. *If you work at it*.

4. No, not all players should be allowed to test. Why should someone who hasn't worked for it deserve the privilege? The answer is: They don't.
If you haven't done much on the game and you haven't proven that you have a strong and justified opinion that can truly contribute to these testing sessions, why would Howrse want your opinion? People who get the opportunity to test are people who have worked for it and have proven their commitment by becoming VIPs or well respected players. It is a privilege to test and not even all VIPs get that chance.

5. I'm sorry that you haven't picked this up, but the purpose of Howrse to the big bosses is to "rake in money". Because it's a company. That's the whole point.

Oh, but you're right. It *is* a way to show who is supreme. That's what VIP stands for: Very Important Person.



Truly, I don't mean to offend.

lol, so true

I find the name quite stupid actually haha. Does spending 10 passes a month for some benefits make you more important? I never felt more important at least

lol, the testing bit makes me feel a bit important? But then again not really...
Just a bit sad to see 10 passes go...

I always thought VIP stood for Very Ignorant Peon.. for paying 10 passes a month for it..LOL ( I was guilty for over a year myself..lol)

or Very Idiotic Person...for throwing away 10 passes a month

I think of it as "hey we've seen that you spend a lot of time devoted to the game. As a way to show we appreciate your loyalty to the game here's some added perks to your game in exchange for a few passes."

With the obligatory way of being able to buy into it. It's howrse. They like their money.

I personally qualified for VIP before I bought passes with top 50 rosettes and playing the game in a strategic way. All of those BMI you get over time add up if you use them wisely.

@ Vesplain

I agree. Though I'll kid around and joke about how expensive it is, there's a reason why I renew every month.

Come to me, my pretty perks...

.

My VIP pre release earned me 45 passes this month. Total waste, right?

I think people who complain the most are just jealous.

It just gets frustrating how many people are all uptight about someone else paying for perks.

not jealous at all.. I bought it with my own money for over a year.. wasn't worth it for me, not on a team, and my autobuy never got me anything.. oh and way to start a flame war with the RC collectors.. NEVER say your flipping the coats.. thats a NO NO

A complete waste. Definitely.

haha, I agree. Maybe one day people will get over it and decide to try instead of complain.
I think that's enough sass on my part for tonight

How does the pre release earn you passes?

You can sell the RCs for passes.

*sighs* *looks around for Preprod*

Where are you Preprod? *whistles*

When will people be able to proprose black pearl coats? Any ideas?

It's always the first five days of each month.

Ugh! Just sold lots of BMIs and horses for aging points....

No VIP stands for very important PinkiePie!

How do you seek something for aging points? I'm confused.

I have had to do the same thing after my New Years eve, foggy morning selling of all my APs, and I am still not even half way to what I had, at the last morning of 2014.

I am still banging my head against the wall over thst goof.
