Group Horse Updates
We’ve retired and downsized our active Group Horses significantly over the past 2 months.
Going forward we intend to have a smaller number of Group Horses that will get fleshed out personalities and regional transformations and we’ll start incorporating them into the breeds lore, events, and stories.
The goal is to put a bit more of a spotlight on the Group Horses so that when they retire they will already have a bit of a fan base.
We intend to allow Group Horses to have access to their regional transformations even if that level of Chimes has not yet been unlocked. We’re also considering unlocking some of their magics too. Other ideas include giving them each a plot of land from our official map.
No matter what we settle on for unlocks etc for these guys they will retain them once they retire.
HOF Mishap
Many apologies for our mishap, we have decided to re-roll another HOF blessing for everyone who entered to make up for our mistake.
When we closed out Hand Of Fate we had a few errors on our part that still need correcting. This is just a quick heads up that we are aware and actively working to correct the problem. If you already had your HOF rolled, don’t be worried if you find an additional blessing added on in the near future.
Leaving Quirlicorns?
We’ve added an option to have your Quirlicorns IDs recycled if you opt to leave our breed, since we don’t offer deceasing of Quirlicorns.
We fully respect that some people may not wish to remain in our breed, there are various reasons someone may choose to move on, and it’s important to us that people be allowed to keep their characters even when they do not want to keep them with us.
Any Quirlicorns officially leaving our breed who have not been bred and have no breeding slots given out may have their IDs recycled. We will remove them from our registry and our admin account as if they never existed. If it was a bred foal, those breeding slots will be returned to the parent owners. This way members can easily move these characters to other breeds if they so wish.
Because of the nature of recycling IDs we can only offer this with Quirlicorns who have not been bred, have no slots given to other members.
So if you have characters that do not have IDs that can be recycled, but you still wish to take them with you from the breed, just know that they will still be listed as Quirlicorns in our registry etc, though they are still yours to do with as you see fit.
February Incentive - Cupids Arrow
Valentine’s Day is near and Cupid has left his arrows near the Sacred Dew Tree. For the month of February 2021 Quirlicorns bred or imported will receive 3 of Cupids arrows. Each arrow adds an additional breeding slot to the Quirlicorn which may be used to breed the Quirlicorn to the Quirlicorn the arrow was used on. Cupids arrows may only be used on Group horses. Cupid’s arrows support equal opportunities and equal love, this means that these breedings may be between Mare x Mare or Stallion x Stallion without the use of a Heaven’s Wish Dew.
In order to use your arrows please post a thread titled “Cupids Arrow Use” in our Cha ching! Cash In Select Bank Items forum and let us know which Group Horse you intend to breed your horse with so we can mark the slot(s) for you.
