Here to let everyone know that I won an Ascent with an Obol. I know... shocking. Maybe the re re balancing is working. I did start with two 4* and one 3* card so it was a lucky draw default smiley ;)

Howrse, I'm still looking for our trophies to be returned.

Another thing. You've been advertising "precious rewards" from advertisements near the top of the page, despite the function being broken, for what seems like years. Any chance you'll either:
A) Fix it, and offer what you say you're offering?
B) Remove the false advertising, and stop offering stuff you won't give us?

How does displaying birthdays of made up user names violate any privacy laws? The game is **AnOnYmOuS**. If you're so worried about leaking private information why do you have polls and contests on Facebook? You know, the place where we use our real names? default smiley (o)

"There will also be a number of changes to the web version alongside this new mobile version. The most prominent change will be at the top of the page, which will be redesigned to better align the experience across the web and mobile versions."

Does anyone know what this is on about exactly? new feature 2nd June 2026. They're going to change the one thing that doesn't need changing, the top tool bar? How annoying if so.

I think because facebook is social media and howrse is a game platform with optional paying. You do have a point though, how is a username and a date giving out sensitive info? How about a checkbox in the settings "i'd like to share my birthday [] "


Also its European pRoTeCt ThE cHiLdReN law. It only affect European countries like France, so why should people who dont live in those places be denied the simple ability to say happy birthday to people? Unless its.. suddenly bad language or something.

I'm happy to see other's still pushing for you to undo your major trophy downgrade and bring our trophies back to our pages. I'm also still waiting for that impatiently. default smiley (li)default smiley (li)

I started on the mobile version, then had to try classic for the first time to do my EC. That was such a great upgrade from the mobile version that I never used it again despite only playing on my phone. I do NOT support turning classic into mobile. I'm fully against any mobile changes that you people are trying to force onto classic. I hate the layout of mobile and quite frankly, I didn't even understand EC boarding until I saw it laid out on classical. I'm never going back. Classical is superior and turning it into mobile will just downgrade it. default smiley :k

I couldn't care less about your birthday thing, but I also don't see how it is a privacy issue when those aren't even real dates in the first place. Unless players are happy to put their real ages down? But what kid wouldn't make itself an adult anyway? default smiley (o) completely pointless change. Adults are smart enough to avoid putting their birthdays and names online. Kids want to look fancy with usernames while avoiding the limitations of being under 18 or 21 or whatever age is legal for them. Nobody will be using their real details on online games anymore. That's why this game is anonymous.
- On that, I'm still waiting for you to add the setting to disable messages about Facebook. I'm not interested in using it and that isn't going to change anytime soon. I delete those messages without reading them anyway. Plus, as someone pointed out, they contradict your push for privacy.

Add updates that we actually *ask for* instead of breaking things that work for once. We're still waiting for our trophy update and for the horse coat overhaul. All these unnecessary changes that nobody asked for will just push even more players away from the game, and I really don't think that would benefit you at all considering how you throw out back to back cash grabs like you're begging for money 24/7. You're asking for players to stop throwing their all so important money at you by ignoring us and downgrading the game, so don't be surprised when more players stop paying up because of it default smiley (o)

Another month with a useless changelog of filler changes while the devs completely avoid working on the updates we actually want default smiley (o)default smiley :@

Not happy with them going straight to mobile app when playing on my tablet instead of going to the classic version. I prefer playing classic version on my tablet because the ec functions are more faster to do stuff. Now I have more steps to do.default smiley (li)default smiley :kdefault smiley (d)

I've literally just asked about this, as wasn't sure if it was game related or if my tablet had updated and this was the result. If It's not just me, it does sounds like It's game related...It even defaults if I type in the url, minus the m.part.

Very irritating!

What happened with the page? default smiley :( Notifications are so large, I feel like I'm seeing with a hundred diopter glasses...
I know it's a matter of habit, but I really don't like how Howrse reminds me of the mobile version, which I don't like.

please add an option to switch back to the old layout because this is actually awful to look at. (you know the way the old school websites had themes and layouts you could personalise? not necessarily that but just a on/off switch because there should be still the code for old design backed up, right?)

This unmoving bar at the top is seriously cutting into my laptop screen's already tiny viewing area. Please change it back. I'm begging you.
