ou are better off asking this in the topic about the Event furtehr down the page - this topic isn;t checked so often and there is lots of helpful information in the Onis Lair topic. To get a golden horseshoe, all you have to do is take part in the promotion and you get horseshoes (as a trophy, not to use) at set intervals as you progress.

The current event can be accessed by clicking the banner at the top and then following the instructions, then you're good to go.

So, maintenance tomorrow is scheduled to be the same time as the monthly deer contest finishes?

Not sure if that is good news or bad news considering the results got messed up a bit last month....

"Fixed a bug that enabled players to get ahead in the Skijoring tournament."

Well, that's pretty vague, isn't it? No idea what this could be, but glad it's found.

Thought the Árvakr and Alsviðr exploit was bad enough...

It's impossible to get anywhere here even with all 1st place wins 100% of the time.

I've placed 1st twice on US server but could not make any progress here at all.

That'll be why we had a mini maintenance on the 15th then default smiley :)

I've no idea what the bug was, but I too am happy that it's fixed.

Glad Artemis Arrow was finally added to the covering page.Huge pain in the rear and time waster to add it from the Black Market if you didn't have any in stock for it to show with the other breeding items.

Glad that was fixed. There wasn’t a practical way one days worth of comps would be more than 3000 eq. Sounds like if you entered comps as they restarted you got credit for both days at once default smiley (y)

I suppose that explains how players were able to make 3000+ equus each day, I made 8 1st place wins daily and still couldnt get myself into a decent rank.

I didn't lose a single comp all month but when I was the first one entering it, the eq was higher. I couldn't see who it was that leapfrogged two hours before update and wound up ahead of me but they definitely found a way to do it. They did it last month as well but I wasn't at the top then.

If you win 8 and all 8 pay 160 EQ that's 1280. I didn't lose a comp all month and did not get much more than that ever. Most of the time the average was closer to 150 because some comps pay 138 and some pay 162.

"Added the option of giving an Artemis' Arrow directly from the covering page."

So... You added something that was already there. *blink* *blink* All righty, then...


"Fixed a bug that enabled players to get ahead in the Skijoring tournament."

Which we've complained for months those comps were messed up and there was something being exploited, and got told we were imagining things. Uh huh. Okay.

Fixing bugs is great and necessary, but is there any info on anything new at least being in the pipeline? Aside from new divines that is.

Didn't you know this is a game about collecting divines and pretty pictures? The rest of the stuff is just to keep people coming back. They haven't done a single thing to the actual GP in 14 years. The last enhancement was the introduction of western comps and western EC's and the change of barrel comps so paints wouldn't win it.

Can you give us back the ability to save the images of horses the way we sued to be able to?

We can no longer save the images of horses we don't own and downloading a 'social media' image of our horse doesn't give us a .png, it saves the entire background, too.

This is incredibly annoying and hasn't been mentioned in any of the updates I've seen.
