A question for new players
  • I would like to run a giveaway for newer players. I'm not sure what it will look like yet. Before I figure out the contest itself, I want to figure out a prize. Hence my question for new players:

    Would you prefer to win show ponies or hbs? (the hbs would come with the stipulation that they are used for a basic upgrade or a barn). I would love to give away show ponies but because new accounts can make money from pointed creates while they are under 20,000 points held, I'm not sure how actually helpful that would be. I really appreciated being given show ponies as a new member but I started before the pointed creates update came into play. Anyone have opinions?

  • I have been playing almost a year, so I am not new. But I know that many new players may be struggling to earn HB to upgrade to a basic account, so that might be really helpful!
  • Definitely HBs are appreciated!! I don’t keep any show ponies on this account as I make most of my profits from pointed sales which goes right back into creating more so any chances to increase the cash flow to set aside for a barn is always appreciated!

  • Just FYI - I can donate a blinged out custom GMT horses for some contest prizes. Send me a PM and let me know about your contest! Plus they will have points because the account I use to make them is under the limit.

  • HBs are always the thing I’ve been struggling with, even with the pointed creates (it took me a long while to really get the grasp of the show vs breeding herd balance). But HBs to buy barns and such are always so nice.
  • I've been here a year now, so not exactly new, but I have found saving for barns is the hardest part of getting started.

  • @HTRanch - I'll happily help out with prizes if you need a hand (hbs or a chat room to use or some show ponies etc). I suspect it's hbs the new players will be crying out for :)
    Breeding brown/liver/black with white spotting drafts. If you ever fancy straws PM me. PM me if you need help with GE.
  • While I never turned down pointed show ponies, when I was a new account (<6 months), I really needed hbs for barn purchases. I pointed out of pointed creates long before my barn was truly self-sustaining. There were several times I was triaging barn space in order to add in an extra horse, or no putting Exceptional Show Horses or other non-Expro creates through breeding advice just so I could stick them in a pasture instead of using a stall. When you only have a show bonus of 2k per day, it takes a long time and a lot of effort to save up for enough IVs to buy a barn.<br />
    The issue with hbs, of course, is you can't really dictate what people spend them on. But, by the same token, you can't keep people from selling 1hbs prize horses in auction the next day.

  • Thank you everyone! It sounds like hbs are the ticket - although maybe some show horses would be helpful for people who have just capped out of making pointed creates?

    @Dinascar and @ConfluenceFarms, thanks for offering to help! I likely won't run my contest for a month or so so I can focus on the end of semester and exams. That gives me plenty of time to think about what to do with it.

  • If someone wants to bling out a custom GMT'd horse with the intention to sell it, I'm good with that too. They would get the experience of running a forum auction!

    HTRanch, unless you already know how you want to do your game/contest, let's talk! I am looking for any contest or game that can help new player learn the ropes, ESPECIALLY with using the search, or with the learning how the game works.

  • I can donate hbs too. I've only been playing a year but I'm close to hitting the hb limit.
