How come I don't see a bar on my pass page???

Because the changes haven't happened yet.

Why does there have to be a mini game? If we get the pass at 300 points I don't see the use? It's basically going to be another waste of time and makes it hard for those of us on Mobile or with slow connections.

Players have complained about many things.

I still remember the multitude of unhappy people when the two reserves were put together and the resultant merge caused a lot of people to lose the option of their monthly pass as it would be too costly.

Over and over we had asked for Howrse to give us other options.

So it now looks like they have and I can now actually be able to get this pass after years of not really having the option ( unless I wanted to pay something like 8-10 million e for it).

I am happy with this change.

The "mini game" is just something like groom a horse, or post on the forums. Or so I have heard by going through 5 servers worth of spoiler topics to make sure.

Have you not wanted to do wheat bran banking? Even if I'll no longer need to use it for my reserve pass I'll still use to keep my covering fees low

The only reason I get my monthly pass is I change my 3 million e into wheat bran....

I'm interested to see what this new change will be.

It took me forever to reach 1 mil. And by the time I did. It's useless in the economy. I raise cattle in my fields and sell all the leather for my profit. And my apples too.
The pass system needed to be changed. But I'm just thinking that this isn't going to be a good way to change it to.

Seems like only the rich are happy about it. Anybody with more than 500k basically. They should have just put a price cap on it. Like 80k or 100k.

Monthly passes don't have to cost you a lot, Sarah, if you bank in Wheat Bran.

not sure if thats a spoiler but just to be safe

Yes it does.

Sorry...thought you meant Zodiac...no it doesn't.

If you don't have Gemini, yes.

This is the least profitable way of earning equs.

Even 80k or 100k can be a lot for some players though, especially when that equus can maybe be put towards something else. I think the major reason for bringing in the new system is to prevent multi-accounting, which can easily be done with any amount of equus.

I'm bringing forward Anap's post about how you (most likely) gain points for the upcoming pass system, because it sounds like it's really not going to be that hard to get your monthly pass.

Not with 100,000,000. I can store more in other ways if I want to.

12 passes a year is not going to break me so while I refused to pay 10 million for 1 pass this option makes it open for me to get an extra 1 per month with doing no more than what I am doing now. I rarely breed so even paying 2,500 vet fees does not make a dent in my total.

I add about 3-4 million e to my reserve per month by doing very very little work.

Spyder - how do you add 3-4 million equus to your reserve every month? I struggle to earn equus because I spend most of it on my team and pass horses. As a non-pass buyer, having a decent amount of equus is important.

Does anyone know when the P____ G_____ promo will start?

It may start tomorrow as promos tend to start on Thursdays, but it's unsure for definite. It could even be next week for all we know-

Breed and sell horses, grow the wheat and flax cash crops and sell them. I also save up the resources from my EC and sell them on too. I manage to make more equus that way, but it may be different for you as you are part of a team and I am not. I also don't spend much on my pass horses, I just spend money on boarding them in ECs and breeding them. Even then, I don't breed my horses much.

has the new testing opened up on here yet

Nope, not yet. We don't know when that'll happen either, but I'm sure it'll open up soon.

Does your vet covering fee cost more if you have a higher reserve then?

First I am not on any team so don't have to throw anything that way to them but the key to making a ridiculous amount of equs is your workshops.

I have 5 large pastures raising longhorn cows and 1 large greenhouse raising carrots.

I sell any extra carrots over 20,000 that I keep for my EC ( 6 day grow period and pays 10 e per) that are in my inventory so about 30,000 every 6 days. This supplements my iron reserve.

The leather ( along with the iron) makes tack that I harvest every day. Over a period of a month it grows and each 30 days I sell the tack ( keeping what I need for my EC. Time involved is about 5 minutes a day--equs gained is ridiculous for the time and resources invested.

Vet coverings are 1% of your total reserve, so the higher the reserve the more they cost.
