So this past year the amount of time I can play the game has dwindled down to almost nothing. So I am currently trying to figure out my options. The most obvious answer would be to either quit the game entirely, or cut my accounts down to one. I currently have one account per server I’m actively playing. However I don’t want to quit playing the game entirely. Plus I have finally gotten my three accounts to a place where I like them, so that’s a no go either.

The solution I decided on this spring was to cut my lines down to my favorites. Quality, color, and personal favorites. It has worked perfectly on my messa account, but not so well on Bluegrass and Forest. Mostly because my barns are much larger on Bluegrass and Forest. Then cutting my lines down had a huge toll on my show herd. I am still struggling with having too many foals to mentally deal with each month. Yet not having enough foals born to replace show horses that age out, so my daily bonus is plummeting. Which makes playing the game more difficult... Which is turning into a downward spiral.

My thought today was cut my numbers down even more. Maybe 10-20 mares per generation, per line. Just keeping my favorites. Then have a couple pastures dedicated to raising show babies. Not looking at the babies at all just snipping them and tossing them in a show barn. I have hesitated to do this, because I feel there are already so many foals born each month that I should just buy others excess foals. However that idea hasn’t worked for me so far.

I have thought about just taking a break, but don’t want to loose the progress I have made with several of my lines and horses.


What are your guy’s thoughts? Has anyone done this before? Are there other solutions I haven’t mentioned? What do you do when life gets hectic and the game can’t take up extra time?
