Hey! I have 3 divines on my wishlist (Mars, Kocham cie and Yvain). I know I can get Kocham cie on Valentines day and Yvain when he is re-released. But is there any chance Mars will be offered in Black Friday? I know in 2019 there were some solars, but in 2020 they made it mainly less useful divines. What are the chances he will be there?

what the next divine will be?

Such information was provided on the Polish server. It seems that next year we'll say goodbye to all forums.

Adding Discord is a plus for me, but removing the forum is ridiculous.
The assumption is that this is a game for younger people aged 10-15 (I started playing when I was 10), many of them don't know what the game is about and often ask on the forum if they don't know something. On the Polish server, many young people make such spelling mistakes that it is difficult to understand them in Polish and I cannot imagine that such people would be able to write something in English and understand the answer to this...

That's what I'm worried about. Unless they've done taken a good look at their players "ages" who're new playing, I would say it is a big mistake. That and it'll be a big hassle for a lot of people who just want a quick game play answer; now people would have two places to log into, and those that have slow internet speeds will be at a huge disadvantage.

anyone have a link to the discord? i wanna lurk.
they shouldt remove the forums.

removing forums is a way for them to have less to deal with and it will seriously ruin the geme

Is the forum even that big of a hassle to deal with? This is a browser game, it's literally N*opets made horse. How is DISCORD (with another set of credentials, a hassle to verify accounts and behaviours AND the disadvantage of one server for all versions) going to help us feel more modern? Also, Discord is hardly a safe place for the youngest, while the forum sort of was.

Is that going to be *all* forums? Including the VIP forum? And what about EC forums?

Also, I see the PM system imploding - because if somebody can't/won't use Discord, or just plain isn't allowed because they're too young, and they need help but don't have a forum to ask in, then they're either going to quit the game... or spam the inbox of whoever they can find.

And following from that, how are people supposed to find who the mods are? They're only listed in the forums.

As far as I know, Discord can have moderators, but I guess we'll have a new team of mods for Discord, since you can't very well have ALL THE MODS from all the Versions available.

That sounds honestly exhausting. Ewgh.

And yes, the PMs will be imploding and the EC forum is going to be a DISASTER. My Divines regularly need EC boxes, now what am I going to do? Absolutely nothing, because I refuse to join the madness and go "Int Server, looking for boxeees!".

Time to look for permanent boxes RIGHT NOW.

My understanding from using discord is that you can easily private message anyone in a server with you. ie, adults can easily message children privately (not on the server) without their prior consent in a completely private and unmoderated way. On howrse, you can still provide information to contact people off of the website, but you would have to provide that information to make it happen (its not just automatically available). On discord, anyone can just message anyone, which I feel really puts minors at risk.... How will howrse be able to moderate that or protect minors from being targeted or contacted in inappropriate ways on discord, off of their server.

Also howrse is basically forcing people to either allow themselves to potentially be able to be contacted by anyone in the server privately if they want to interact, or just completely give up the forums and all option of interaction. I think that's putting people in an unfair and concerning position (especially minors). I don't want to be forced into providing access to my discord to everyone on a howrse server, howrse is a moderated website which I'm comfortable with posting on. discord is not that.

Finding mods is easy on discord but they can only moderate the server itself they can't moderate what people do when they just pm literally anyone on the server. which removes a lot of the safety of howrse.

Horrific. The young players, like anyone younger than 13-sure, they can lie, or make an account that is using a guardian's email and modded by the guardian-but the age restrictions! And plus, the point about pms. it's so easy. i get countless pms from people i don't know, but whom i share servers with.
absolutely bad. they ARE killing their own game, they ARE driving peope away, and . . .agreed, rylee.a.b.
