I know there has been a couple of posts about having an extra breed speciality, but I was wondering more of just being able to buy an enter-all for a different breed to your speciality or an enter all for all horses/dogs on your account?

I would be more than happy to pay for this feature!!

Hello! :).

I completely understand why this is a feature that you want! However, being one of the main upgrade perks it has the potential to detract from upgrade sales quite a bit, which is the main financial contributer to the game.

I have contemplated adding it into the cash shop for a hefty cash-only fee, but I think that part of what keeps the game's economy functioning, and items like tickets and shows being widely available is the number of upgrades, so cutting down on those could potentially have a big effect on the entire game's ecosystem.

If we were to JUST add an enter-all, it could still have those same effects, but then we get into the territory of bugs and weirdnesses in programming also. For example, when does it expire? An enter-all is an upgrades only perk, so do you buy it once with your upgrade, and then it expires on it's own time? Or does it expire with the upgrade? What happens when you re-upgrade, does it come back? Or if it never expires, then we're back to the same issues as above, where why would you meed to upgrade in the first place? In addition, how does this affect the necessary "grinding" on a game if all breeds have the potential for an enter-all? Games need grinding as a system for survival.

Sorry if that seems rambling, those are just some of the questions game design-wise that pop into my head when I contemplate it! Hopefully they help illustrate the potential issues a little better!

For those reasons, I think that it's best to keep the breed specialty perks to one per account :).

But it still cuts into upgrade sales, and that's why I don't think it'll ever happen. You get 1 breed specialty and enter-all to go with it, so if you want more breeds and more enter-all = buy another upgrade.

And there's the issue with potential bugs, and I personally don't want anything interfering with me getting all my training done on time.

Exactly, and from what I see, tickets are hard to come by. It'll also mean fewer private shows being available.

I'm actually not sure why anyone would really want to just have two breed specialties on one account, yes it is convenient to not have to log in and out, but at the same time, with multiple upgrades - thats extra money from the bank each week, extra money from public shows each week, extra private shows to use or sell each week (again, more money), as well as more tickets to use or sell (and again, more money). And I think that when you have multiple breeds and animals, those extra perks are worth having to log in and out on multiple accounts.

I am 100% with Tera on this one!

I am all for the extra money like tera said!

I like the idea too Mame x). Upgrades are great, but they have a big overhead of grind work to maintain and get the most value out of them (on top of the cash spent to buy them). I have 20 accounts at the moment and a need to breed EVERYTHING, haha. But as good as my bulk uppies are, it's a lot of extra grind I don't have time for when I work full-time and have other interests (currently failing at NaNoWriMo this year, woo!). Yet I still do want to play the game which is why I tried investing in the first place. At this point though I have to double down on what I have. Retire breeds to make room for new ones, because I can't really make the most out of more upgrades.

So yeah, if I could spend x amount of money to drop a new breed on my account so I could keep lines going, that would be awesome.  I get that it might cut into upgrade sale, but just from my perspective - I'm not considering anymore upgrades at the moment (for myself or others, barring deals already in place), so you'd actually be getting more out of me LOL.

If the enter all function came at a really high price for a limited amount of time, like $5 for a month, perhaps it would supplement instead of take away from upgrade income?

I dig it, and would be willing to pay whatever the amount was in RLD to be comparable to upgrade sales in order to have it.
