[Info] The Retired Coat Gallery

This thread is here to show off your Retired Coats. This is not the place to post non retired coats. **The two exceptions would be coats that have been pulled (brief discussions) and the pre release coats.

REMEMBER:

******** absolutely no sales talk, no talk about spares or how many extras of a copy you got and selling them to fund your RC habit this is just a place to talk RCs

* although links and graphics are ok on this thread, they are not allowed normally on public forums

* any negative or unkind comments on artists or coats (or anyone!) will be removed, and depending on the case, it might mean an instant forum ban.

* DO NOT use this as a place to sell your horse/coats-if you feel the need to break this rule, it will mean an instant forum ban...

** Sales ads are NOT allowed in any public forums. Asking for spare coats will now be considered a sales ad. This includes stating that you plan to sell a coat, or point out coats for sale in sales.

* Do not use this place as a spot for rants or complaints-About coats/BG/or each other.

* This is not the place to ask players to price your coats, or to ask others the worth of a coat, you can check uses on your own by hovering your mouse over the gray apple and price it from there.

* This is not the place to bring up the subject of stolen images. Keep in mind that the rules of the BP used to be very different, and many old coats are from that time.
There is not any reason to bring that up, or report the coats.

*Please do not do a coat countdown for soon to retire coats.

* Please do not post coats that are currently in the GA and have either not retired, or will never retire.

* Please do not post coat/bg combos or ask opinions on them, except following coat release.

* Some coats may be removed in the future, whether that be for problems with the coats itself or just because they're clearing room on the server to allow other coats to be uploaded - if you're buying retired coats, please keep that in mind. If you want a permanent copy, I would recommend saving the graphic to your computer

* How to discover who many uses a New GC coat will retire-There is now a coat countdown in the GA, and it will show how many have been used and how many uses there are left.

** There is now a new creations directory which shows all coats. Go to Community>>>Directories>>>Creations>>>Click more criteria, and on the left hand side is a gold and silver apple. Click the silver apple and search to see all retired coats.

* To see who created/how many uses/name/or if you have it already of a RC coat, simply click on the silver apple, and it will tell you.

*** Posting links to other player's coats is NOT allowed and can mean a forum ban.

*#*#*#* If players feel the need break the main topic rules, such as sales ads/coat countdowns/spares-you can expect an instant forum ban without any warning prior to it *#*#*#*

Just to let you know, there's nothing wrong with reselling horses - a lot of players do so to make a profit and raise their equus. default smiley :)

Feel free to PM me if there are any issues with false advertising in coat sales - I suspect a lot of it is accidental due to the recent glitch, so some players are probably unaware that certain coats are not retired.

Demure Girl could have gotten her coat published if she had a black pearl but did not use it for example or if she got one because a coat was rejected somehow. I do not have an answer for sure.

The person I was look at the DG coat had their sales pitch changed by a moderator then they removed the horse and they reposted it again with the lie.

that is a retired coat and rare.

I hate resellers who buy the coat only to profit off of us who collect. Nothing illegal just immoral. I had one drive the price up then bought it only to resell it for 18,000 which was about 5000 profit. I try not to out bid people but out of mjy way lol. I buy up retired coats if they are cheap for sale to collector friends but will not keep upping the price.

By mechurchlady, 17th July 2009 11:01:34
Evilfairy12 the first coat you posted is what I called the Syncopation coat. Now get some chocolates and hold on tight.

Until recently most of the coats under #500 would say they were not available but a person could still buy that coat if they tried to buy it. That was what we called a Glitched Retired Coat. We did not know if Howrse was planning to remove those coats or if it was just a glitch. Glitch is gone and coats are still here.

The first coat is popular and much loved.
Second coat was removed from sales but not deleted. The artist did a lot of work on someone else's horse's picture.

The blue coat is still rather common because it is older but also because it is so pretty. i had three of those at one time and two for public sale, lol. You are lucky to own that blue one.

Rivenwood is aware of the problem of people saying coats are rare or retired when they are not. Hopefully she can get someone into sales to delete the false advertising, space abusers, return tab abusers, smiley abusers, and all caps maniacs. She is a very hard worker and I hope some day she can make the sales safe again for novice buyers.

By Retired breeder, 17th July 2009 17:06:16
Vamp94-those are very neat! I like the last one, kind of surreal.
I have a horse, `new found zest`. Howrse pulled the coat and gave me a golden apple. I waited a few days and went to put a new coat on and ended up finding the same one that they said they pulled. Its not in the selection now tho. Is that a glitched coat?
By Retired breeder, 17th July 2009 17:20:04
Well, never mind. Now I see its available today. default smiley ^) Wierd.

By mechurchlady, 18th July 2009 13:14:39
