They're done with gemstones...considering they said it ws the last chance to give them.

I'm pretty sure we all came up witht that...I remember that day in the spoilers forum...

I know, but that would be cool IF they did, which they won't..but it's fun to imagine.

Yeah, I remember that day. That was fun. I remember Ow even joined the conversation ,which is pretty rare!

As far as I rember someone mentioned something about birthdays .. I think it was you Blueski? Then I said ' gah now I really want zodiac divines again ' then it just went from there I really liked Nefrikas idea about collecting birthstones to build the gemstone divines though - that was a stroke of genus !
Anyway getting back on Topic

My personal opinion is they are pure speculation.

Someone posted here that they are on the test server. I am ON the test server ( English) and nowhere is it there. I even checked the various Admin's accounts on that test server and again--nowhere is it there or a place holder for any of these two "speculation" divines.

Now we do not always test new divines but usually I can find them on an Admin's account. There is not a hide, nor hair of them.

I think it was something just said on another server that they "would be nice" and "would be nice" got change to "will be coming".

We really have to be careful about the rumors that wizz by so often and are unsubstantiated.

Satkin with the gemstones it actually only said it was the last time to get them in the reserved sales. Ow said they will still be available but there will be far less choice of to what one you get ( they will be avalable in TCs , the other TCs and stuff like that)

Yeah, I think that's right.. I did mention something about birthdays and then we got talking about which Zodiac Divine we were, and then you said something like, "What about Zodiac Divines?" and we all thought that was a fantastic idea... i also like the idea if there were Zodiac Divines that one was given out every month to a player who's birthday was that month. As long as people didn't change their birthdays...


I wonder if Ow will take the suggestion someday.

Ow, if you're listening- No pressure or anything.

It was actually me who proposed the idea of Zodiac divines

I still think they would be cool ^.^ I feel honoured that Ow joined in a discussion about an idea I suggested

Oh, sorry! I forgot that you suggested the idea. Well, it was a fantastic idea and is a fantastic idea whether Howrse takes it someday or not! I know! It was so cool that Ow joined the conversation!!!

Well, I seem to recall that the Seasonal Divines were also something mentioned in the Ideas forum at one point - so it is a possibility they will create them (Indeed, if memory serves - the Seasonal Divines, Balios, and I want to say Pluto - all had appeared in the Ideas forum at some point)

Who knows though - for now, I'd rather them complete the Chinese Divine set rather than start a new one..

I personally would like to have an "end" product to the seasonal divines.

The gems got a diamond and it would be so nice if we got something for those that have the whole collection ( I think a lot have the full collection).

Is there any end in sight to the Great Challenges? or is this just going to continue and continue?

The Gemstones got Diamond
The Solar System got Sun
The Winds got Aeolus
The Greyfell got a Sleipnir (in a way - though you lose a Greyfell when you transform it)

*thinks for a moment*

An end for the Seasons seems a bit hard to come up with though. I mean - my brain immediately though Equinox and Solstice as additions...but that's two as opposed to the usual one.

I suppose 'Nature' could be another possibility (have it have characteristics of all four seasons) but again, kind of a stretch.

Just going to continue, with the occasional other promotion going on as well (like the Cards recently) - as was stated in the Blog when this was first announced - until further notice

Or until it becomes redundant because no ones enters it anymore.

My activity with it has dropped lower and lower and I can see me completely ignoring it..unless something SUPER wonderful is offered.

@Nikolai,


I'm pretty sure no one knows yet because we usually don't know until maybe three- (maybe four days, if we're lucky) before the challenge what the next one is going to be.

Who is Nikolai?

I'm Nikolai!
I'm a player from BG Server

a person who posted above with a question that I was answering. For some reason I just couldn't post their quote....

Wow, cows and work horses! Can't wait for november!

Wow, the new EC changes are definitely going to be... different. I hope I don't lose some prestige while I'm still getting used to the changes and getting everything set up...

And I just got to 52%!!

Definitely different. It'll be difficult for me to regain footing on here with my EC, but for my US and CA accounts I'll definitely learn how to get a good EC ready.

Drafties... I'm beginning to sound like a broken record...but here I go again... I hope we can breed the drafties

@ Melontropica

You won't be the only EC owner who's work will be ruined. I can almost guarantee that at least half of the top ECs will lose a bunch of prestiege.

If I can get up the motivation, I will probably just concentrate on getting my horses skills higher, to assure that the lesson price drop is not so bad.
