Confirmation of gifting genes and license purchases

    **GIFT L2**OK F AN Mud Slinger

    O Wish I May Wish I Might


    I purchased these two foundations with the intention of giving them to my gift exchange giftee. I am receiving the warning about giving away my last copy of the genes when I gift the horses.

    For DMSP, I'm pretty sure I purchased the license only versus putting the gene on a horse. I think I did the same thing with Muddy Puddles. For both those genes, I purchased these horses in the first place, so I must have had the license. (I also would have sworn I had other intacts with those genes that I purchased previously, but now I am not certain since I can't find them in the search.) I assumed that the notification was popping up because I didn't have other foundations with the genes, but that I would still keep my licenses because I purchased them separately.

    I gifted Mud Slinger (despite the warning, I know) and did in fact lose my copy of Muddy Puddles. I have not yet sent the DMSP horse. They are not super expensive genes, so I'm not terribly upset if I have to buy the muddy puddles license again and just write this off as a stupid tax - I should have checked before sending - but I wanted to confirm if this was the way gene license purchases were supposed to function.

  • Can confirm I ran into the same issue, I bought void separately a while back, and then for GE purchased a foundation from someone else that I meant to send over.

    It worked out in the end because I had the person I purchased from send it to me through RAoG so I had the extra copy of license to work with, but it definitely would have otherwise caused problems since buying a licensed foundation via normal purchase unfortunately doesn’t transfer a license copy.

  • In Lally's case, purchasing a foundation from someone who already has the license does not give you another copy - the person who put it on the horse has the copy that came with the purchase.
    The same is also true for O Wish I May - you purchased a horse with the genes - that does not transfer an extra license to you. The license was already 'used up,' as Ammit says. Your copy of the license, bought previously, is the one you are giving away. The foundies' copy belongs to, in this case, BoredCowgirl, who put the gene on the foundie. Does that make sense? License transfer only goes with the horse through the Gift Exchange, rather than through the sales.
    It is intentional that it works that way.

  • Okay. I guess that makes sense. I think it has worked for other genes for me in the past where I have only
    Purchased licenses because I added genes to foundations instead of purchasing them. I’ll remember that for next year.

    Ammit- I know I have some muddy puddles intacts- I am planning to repurchase the license when I am back at my computer later this week, so I would like to leave them intact for now. I promise I’m not trying to game the system.

  • You can't breed or buy any horses with muddy puddles in the meantime. Your horses don't need to be altered. The game prevents you from doing anything you should not with them.
