It's called the Help Center, and it's basically a giant FAQ for Howrse. Players can post questions in the Help Center (similar to how the Game Play forum works now) and helpers will answer them. Helpers must have at least 30 days seniority and 6 karma.

Features include:
-You can upvote or downvote answers based on if they are helpful or not.
-You must search for your question before posting it to reduce the number of duplicate questions.
-Players can reach "helper levels" based on the number of useful answers they have given. I don't know the exact requirements for each helper level.
-There is a helper of the week award given to the player who "has made the most help progress in the last week for their category."
-Helpers are all anonymous, to avoid favoritism.

Here's a picture:

Also, if a question is reported as abusive you must wait until the abuse has been reviewed before posting another question. This should stop people from spamming. There are also buttons to report a question as obsolete or to report grammar, which sends a message to the poster to re-read their message.

This looks great! It's like moving toward a Quora/StackExchange style Q&A site,
I hope it helps with redundancy. Will it replace Game Play?

On CZ version (month back +/-) I got an invitation to help out and together with tons of information about it, there was said, that it should replace the Gameplay section,,
But as it's still just in some kind of "beta version", I'd wait to see, if they'll really somehow ""delete"" (not entirely) Gameplay forum or if they'll keep it for something else,,

Testing of Help Centre finally, after over month of preparation, started,,

What is it for?

Help Centre is a collaborative tool, that works as an giant databse of frequently asked questions and answers (FAQ). In the Help Centre, players can find information, ask questions or respond to others according to what they need. Help Centre is accessible than help and is not that different as forum. We created it, so every player, that need help, can quickly find the answer.
In the existing contents of the Help Centre, you can also search, by using the search tool, which emphasizes highest quality content and which you can also create your own questions in. Most experienced players can share their knowledge and answer other's questions.


How does it work?

When you need help, open Help Centre and enter your query into search tool. If you find the answer in the results, problem is solved! When you don't, you can post your own question in Help Centre. Someone from "helpers" will soon rush to your help. You can later mark, if provided answers were useful or not, which helps with sorting of answers according to their quality.

Who can contribute to the Help Centre?

The more the better!
We really want the answers to be in the best quality. That's why players have the opportunity to evaluate answers published in the Help Centre. Top rated answers are displayed first. To avoid problems with favoritims of answers from some palyers, Help Centre will be anonymous. You won't see who asked the question or who answered it. You'll only see level of a "helper", which depends on the number of relevant responses from that player.
Help Centre should help all players who need it. Therefore, anyone cna ask questions (except for players who don't have enough karma points because of bad behavior in the game). Likewise, answer questions can anyone, who has at least 30 seniority days.
It's also necessary, that the content of Help Centre will be the top quality. Only this way, it'll be helpful for you - palyyers. For this reason, anyone in the Help Centre, who will publish inappropriate content will be quickly expelled from the Centre (reduction of karma or even ban, when it comes to reporting inappropriate content, anonymity in Help Centre doesn't matter).

well help center looks really cool tho only one bad thing...i don't think that player with 30 seniority days will be able to answer wright on all questions..i mean i saw a lot of players who was answering totally wrong on forum-and this is not good for players who ask sth

You can downvote bad answers. Answers that are downvoted enough will go away.

You would think it would replace Game Play, I wouldn't see the reason to have two sources for asking questions.

I'm more worried that Howrse won't be able to attract new players, old players who aren't rich with passes here because real life things come first and some people actually have to use their free passes will leave, and the few who buy enough passes to support themselves will stay. Eventually the page will die. The page that has attracted so many players, horse lovers and not, it has been translated into so very many languages, been a joy for many to play, and it will just die because Ubisoft isn't getting the money they long for.

Wandering horses are back....
Nomadic horses (Wandering Horses)

Until April 16, 2017 at 10:00, collect the 16 nomadic horses environments and win gifts!

How to play ?

To win a nomadic horse, wait for it to unlock then collect points:
by doing the action requested as many times as necessary or
by giving it crystals of the right color (except for the Estran horse).
When you get 100 points, the horse joins your party for 5 days with his or her gifts!

The crystals are obtained:
with the UFOs
by buying with passes
Big lot
Receive the divine horse Alga at the same time as the nomadic horse Estran. Alga Alga is part of the horses of the

vegetable kingdom.


It can be watered instead of being watered.

Her skills increase when you give her dung. The skill gain depends on the amount of crottin given, but also on the season on the game.

When it reaches 300 skill points, it can be pruned. Her skills are then reset to 0, but she offers you 1 x Diamond Diamond!
This mare can not be sold.

this seems legit. The Equideow spoiler forum has been talking about it since yesterday, and there is lots of information about it if anyone would like to head to that server to know more about that and a unicorn breeding update (I'm not fully understanding what that update is about as the translation is a little wonky, so I'm holding off bringing that info over) until our own preprod opens up.

Kids cant buy passes, not without parents permission. That alone means this game is not entirely a kids game, s

Sadly Howrse has been dying for a while now. It isn't there yet but it is slowly losing active players. They have made a lot of changes that have alienated many loyal pass buyers, long term players and families. I have heard from many families that have had their childrens' accounts blocked and banned and they have been accused of multi accounting when it is really siblings playing together and families helping one another. My family got hit that way too. No warning, no chance to prove our identities, no recourse. Money wasted, time wasted and disappointment. It wrecked my game. If I hadn't had so much time and effort put into the game I would have abandoned it entirely. But I did so I play a bit here and there but nothing like I used to. And my story is far from unique. Howrse will die. Just look at the promotions. Looks at how often they don't make even the basic community numbers. There is a reason. Fewer and fewer active players. Less and less new players coming in and staying. It is sad. It was a fantastic game in its early years. It still has so much potential. But it is slowly fading due to poor management. And that is heartbreaking.

Hold on, Algae only gives a diamond? That seems like a pretty lackluster prize compared to the other Plants.

Those Wandering Horse images are stunning though, like exactly what I look for in GAs.
Any word on eventually releasing them as GA coats?

the first two Wanderer sets in the Wanderer's Spirit and they said that eventually we'll get them all (I think that's what was said). But there are quite a few Wanderer series so it will take awhile to get to this set if they go in order.

It would be very nice if you automatically got the Wanderer's Spirit coat for whatever actual Wanderer you collected since now everyone can now get an image of the horse without having gone through the process to actually obtain it.

So, Wandering Horses is the next promo, if I'm reading correctly? Cool! Only participated in one once - mostly because I only logged in once during it. Looking forawrd to getting more Wandering Horses.

Ow's Memory Event, with Howrse's Birthday in mid-April, is the next and the Wandering Horses come after

Unless they have changed the gameplay of the promotion too much, this is a great promotion for people not super stocked up on passes imo, I really like the wandering horses lol, it gives me something to do besides farming (but it could be stressful considering everyone is busy trying to get Etrian and Wikaila these days... Hmm)

Those Wandering Horses are so pretty Not sure I will put much effort into the promo because Wandering Horses is usually mega expensive, so it will depend on how manageable the objectives are, but it looks like the art will be nice to look at, at least.

I wish Howrse would put as much effort into divine coats as they seem to put into wandering horse coats. Divine coats always look rather lacklustre next to the WHs, which has never really made sense as divines are the ones that are going to stick around forever so you would think they would have the best coats...

I hope they get around to updating the available coats in Wanderer's Spirit soon because if they want to get their hands on my passes, releasing those coats would be the way to do it
