| Second issue of "Homo Equitabilis" has been released! | 1st of December, year 20 |
|---|---|
The moment you were waiting for ![]() | |
| Mod suspension | 17th of October, year 20 |
|
One of the game moderators has been suspended for 2 weeks, for improper conduct. | |
| Tack and horses | 19th of September, year 20 |
|
Only the best 20 items of each tack type will be displayed in your stable.
This means that if for some reason you have 200 bridles, you will see only the best 20. Keeping 1000 items in your workshop does not make much sense, so I'd advise you to sell it at the market. | |
| Disabling tack drag & drop | 20th of Augustus, year 20 |
|
If for some reason you cannot put tack on your horse using the new feature, you can disable it by going to your Player Settings and unchecking the Drag Tack checkbox. Once you uncheck that box (and click the update button) you will see the horse inventory in the old-fashioned way. | |
| Horse Inventory | 18th of Augustus, year 20 |
|
The stable has evolved and you can put on/remove tack from your horse by dragging it in the squares. Clicking on tack will also display the information about that item. Note for Firefox users: If Firefox crashes when you select your horse from the stable, you will have to upgrade it to the latest version (from www.mozilla.com) There seems to be a bug in older versions of Firefox, since browsers should not crash because of a web page. | |
| Chance to vote... | 24th of Iunius, year 20 |
| The club creation feature has been turned off to allow players the opportunity to place some votes on clubs that have already been proposed. | |
| Clubs | 1st of Iunius, year 20 |
|
You can now create clubs. Please create only clubs that make sense, or else they will not be accepted. Also if you wish clubs to be activated, you must support them and ask other people to vote for them. Only clubs that have a reasonable number of supporters will be considered. Do not break the rules just to have your club activated. If anyone is creating more users just to vote their clubs, they will get banned, so do not try that. Also a player may support only 3 inactive clubs, so make sure you vote the 3 clubs that make sense to you. | |
| Clubs added | 15th of Aprilis, year 20 |
|
There are 2 types of clubs: Standard and Custom For each show type there is a standard club. A horse can be member of no more than one standard club, and that membership will bring a certain bonus when the horse is entering shows of that type. The custom clubs exist (right now) for the most popular breeds. A horse can be a member of 5 custom clubs. The clubs are meant to be gathering places for people who like the same things, so in the future, there will be custom clubs other than breed clubs. Each custom club has a president who will be elected by the members of the club. The president is in charge of accepting/rejecting new members, as well as other powers not currently available ;) Anyway, each club has a message board, so feel free to try joining them. | |
| Registering email | 3 of Novembris, year 19 |
|
If you are not receiving the registration email, you can simply send an email to game@avirtualhorse.com The subject should be Register and the body of the email should be the login name. | |
| Shows delayed | 23 of Augustus, year 19 |
|
Due to some upgrades done yesterday, the shows have been run later than usual. However your horses and players will get the required xp/coins. | |
| Help window | 17th of Augustus, year 19 |
|
On various occasions you will notice that the message bar on top of your screen (the one that tells the game date), will contain the word Help. Clicking on Help will display a small window that will explain why you got the error. | |
| Bonus for geldings | 14th of Iulius, year 19 |
|
The geldings will get 30% more xp in shows. So if a stallion or a mare would get 10xp, a gelding would get 13xp. A stallion that wins the first position in a show gets 60xp, while a gelding would get 78xp. | |
| Detach/Attach the guildline | 6th of Iunius, year 19 |
|
You can now have the guildline in an additional window by clicking the 'Detach' button. This will allow you to use a full size window for game play. You can also reattach the guildline to the main window by clicking the 'Attach' button. | |
| New server | 4th of Februarius, year 19 |
|
The game has been moved to a new server (this one). I've been awake for 20 hours, so I will be writing more soon. (...8 hours later) The previous server developed some random hardware problems that were causing numerous restarts of the computer. The crashes were a danger for the game data, given their randomness and the fact that the machine was no longer safe. Since the hardware problem could not be identified, I had to transfer the game to a new computer. This transfer took most of the day yesterday, but right now everything should be in place, and no more crashes should happen. | |
| Lost shows | 21st of Novembris, year 18 |
| Some of you might have lost many shows last night, so I have decided to create some cheap shows with higher prizes, so that you can earn more coins today. | |
| Mysterious crashes | 20th of Novembris, year 18 |
|
Today I had to restore some parts of the database so if you created a player or bought a horse during that time, they disappeared.
Other problems might be related to these tests, but until I get a clear answer of why the server acts like it does, playing the game might be a pain to some of you. I'm not happy about the situation and I hope to get it fixed as soon as possible. It makes it more difficult because the crashes are random. Eventually, if the cause is not determined, I will have to move the game to another computer. Anyway, in the meanwhile try to enjoy the game. ;) | |
| Small change in your stable | 2 of October, year 18 |
In your stable you will now be told if your horses need a checkup or shots.

| How to get out of the newspaper | 22 of September, year 18 |
| If you click on the top image, that says "A virtual horse", you are taken back to the game. You do not have to click the back button 10 times to do so. | |
| First issue of the game's newspaper is out! | 20th of Augustus, year 18 |

| Multi users banned | 15th of Iulius, year 18 |
|
Chelsea Chewning, Alex maben, Chase hartman, Miya, abcdefghijklmn were banned. Having 5 accounts is not allowed. Also when you say something like [21:53:05] Abcdefghijklmnop: No not in my religion and Kathy I sware to the Bible that if you ban me I will shut this game down for GOOD chances are that you will never be accepted inside the town. Note: You are allowed to have ONE account only. Your account can have 3 players, and that should be enough for anyone playing the game. | |
