Honestly it does seem a tad odd seeing as you actually get to use those passes for something. All you are getting here is a divine that does nothing.

Pass horses will no longer be a thing. The current possible 31 passes a month will be reduced to a possible 10 passes a month. To get your passes, the system will be similar to the loyal pass system we have now: the meter will max out at 30 points instead of 300 with 10 points being the max points per day meaning you could theoretically get a pass every 3 days. There are some issues with the system on the servers that already have it right now as players are having a difficult time getting the 10 points daily even though they didn't have issues getting the full 10 points with the monthly pass.

Admin on the CZ server said back in February that they were working on it, but it doesn't look like there have been any helpful changes for the players at all. The 4 servers that have the new system already are the CZ, BG, IT and RU servers. We don't know when this is coming to our server.

Players can send 10 horses 25 yrs or older to heaven to get a Divine horse called Yggdrasil (dubbed "Broccoli" due to his look). You can't care for him or enter him in comps. All you can do with him is rename him if you wish and watch him grow if you continue to send horses 25yrs or older to Heaven.

The loyal player's pass will be changed so you will be able to earn a max of one pass every three days instead of 30. Many players on servers that already have the change have complained that they are no longer able to get 10 points a day by playing, so there will probably be a change in what qualifies you to get points as well. People on these servers have been reporting that they only get 6-8 points a day.

Also, there will be a new divine introduced called Yggdrasil. I want to say you can get it by sending 10 horses over 25 (changed from 30) to heaven. Any subsequent horses sent to heaven after that will help Yggdrasil grow. Yggdrasil has no benefits we know of, but there will be a ranking for who has the biggest Yggdrasil. People have been calling it "broccoli" because it kinda looks like broccoli

This change is already in place on the Czech, Italian, Bulgarian and Russian servers.
If you'd like to test it out you can make an account on one of those servers.

I don't intend for this to sound rude, but your statement irked me a little. You would like a divine and not passes horses. From what you stated, you don't care about this new thing as the pass issue doesn't affect you and you get to benefit from a divine. Would you think differently if your pass buying was taken away from you and replaced with a silly divine horse with no real use unlike the other divines?

What I'm trying to say is, this whole divine and pass deal is absolute ludicrous and shouldn't be supported pass buyer or not. Thousands of Howrse players use pass horses as a sort of pass income, and Howrse is inadvertedly pushing people to buy passes with this deal. How can a single divine compensate for the loss of a main income source? I'm a pass buyer too, but I still find this soon to be new change horrible. It's just sad, really. Really really sad.

I dont mind this useless divine,I like the concept. However,I do not like the use of this divine. Since it does nothing,the pass functionality should NOT be removed or redone into a system that benefit very few players. There was mention of doing this to prevent scripters from getting over houndred of passes. Here is a small little fact; if they managed to script their game/multiaccounts before to get those passes they can do it again. A script can do ANYTHING you want it to do. The only thing they will have to do now is to adjust/recode the script - or ask a friend who can do this- and BOOOM. Passes.

Instead of messing up the game for everyone because some people misbehave, IP ban those who do misbehave for a year or so. I am sick and tired of having my gameplay messed up because of some people who refuse to follow some rules.

I dont dare to even think about what will be changed next. cap the skills on breed-only horses? Because some people cant get high skilled ones/the horses they want? Or take away APs because not everyone can mine AP horses?
