I just want to add, I joined the discord server and have seen multiple times that the larger servers (and I believe this includes us) are keeping the in-game forums alongside the discord server. It is the smaller non-english speaking servers that have had/going to have their forums removed and placed on discord instead.

I personally like and dislike the move to discord. It is clearly not ready for the masses and shouldn't have been opened yet. It's impossible to moderate at this time and as I write this, there are 3 moderators active and over 350 online members - crazy, that is over 100 people per mod. By opening a discord, you are also opening the chance of unmonitored direct messages which can be dangerous for children and adults alike, definitely since you do not have to link your game at all. you DO NOT need a howrse account to join and I know that the server link are in public sites such as Reddit etc. I do hope that children know not to talk to strangers but who can promise that, who can moderate that? There has already been underaged individuals mentioning their age, name and where they live. Not good.

Hey everyone! I have read your comments and wish to clarify the situation regarding the new Discord and hopefully reassure you regarding a few points.
Firstly, there will be no changes to the English servers, nor any plans to do so at this time. While we understand the logic that all forums will disappear on all servers, this is NOT the case for the English servers. Should there be a change in the future, players will be updated accordingly.

Secondly, private messages (PMs) are not leaving the site for the other language servers. This means players can still communicate with each other via Howrse and receive announcements.

Concerning underaged players and discord: The discord link will not be readily available for them on Howrse. However, these players will not be lost without the discord, as they will still have access to Contact US and the Help Center. Again, all announcements will still be made via PM (in the language of that server).

Lastly, Moderators and admins will be removing content on the official Discord that is not suited for Howrse. The Dev Team is also looking into more solutions to help moderators fight against cheating/inappropriate content. If you have an account on another language server, should you have any concerns over something you see on the official Discord, please Contact Us from your other language account.

I hope this reassures most of you. Should you have any other concerns, please Contact Us. We will be more than happy to further clarify and/or receive feedback.

though it is still a great shame for other servers. Especially considering the Discord rules include that all communication must be in English only. Unsure why that is seen as sensible if the Discord is the only public form of communication for the servers with different native languages. Also regarding players who do not meet the Discord age requirement (which is as high as 16 years in some countries), the help centres are far from effective at the moment, and will likely become even worse due to this change. Forums are so much more functional, particularly if a discussion is required to answer the question. And Contact Us... it's often hit or miss, not to mention painfully slow the majority of the time. I think feeling disappointed on behalf of the affected servers is still appropriate.

What has happened is Howrse is getting rid of the forums on the small non English servers and instead setting up a Discord channel for them to converse. However all posts must be in English.

The admins on the other servers may not speak the native languages there which could be why they are forcing the language change on non English servers. Horrible, yes. But maybe it's also the only way to track what's being said without Google translate. But horrible nonetheless.

Then someone else said that there's no admins on the small server that they play on. (I'm not on that server so I can't confirm this.) So maybe howrse is "reusing" admins to monitor the small servers but the admins are all English. That would explain the change, but it doesn't make the change any nicer to take when the players don't speak English in the first place. Google translate is really not good if you want to use it to chat..

I'm just happy that we get to keep our forums. Not happy that it's still being forced on other servers, but happy that it's not being forced here.

The Fairytale series: we only know of the first divine of the series as of yet.

Snow Queen:


From her special page description:
“Snow Queen is one of the Fairy Tale Horses.

Find the 4 plot elements by reading a story every day.
Once the plot is complete, you get a prize among:

1 x Golden Fleece
3 x Aging point
5,000 argent
This mare cannot be sold.

You can increase her skills by using your Passes.”

Currently we don’t know exactly how the mechanics work for this series, whether it’s similar to the Celtics, Japanese, etc. I’m just hoping it doesn’t involve long animations like the dragons.
