Hey everyone!

One of the things that players frequently mention to us in surveys and suggestions (and that we have also talked about in the past) is to add things like de-ages and gender changes to the store so that we wouldn't have to do it through the sales account and things could be available more often!

So we were wondering if this was something people would be interested in?

We were thinking we could offer them for credits (or maybe some other creative name?) and then you could buy a certain number of credits for USD, and then spend those on these things, or also transfer them to other players (so it could potentially add more value to services, etc.), and if we had a special currency it would give us somethign else to offer as prizes in contests and chat parties! (Not to mention it would mean more income for HP, which means more updates and new things!)

Another idea was that in addition to a special currency price to maybe offer them for a high HPD price and/or be able to trade in your achievement points/referral points/player points for them.

Right now the plans are very rough, but we're just thinking of new ways to update the game, keep things interesting, and make things more convenient for the players.

Some of the items we were thinking of offering are:

-Gender change

-Breed change (on animals not yet bred)

-De-age

-Age forward

-Retirement breeding

-Adding an EXTRA extra 10 shows.

-Extra show pass (create an extra public horse and public dog show this week)

-Extra private show pass (same idea as extra show pass, but with private shows)

-Pick the gender of a foal

-Guarantee twins in a breeding

So, thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Just bumping this up to the top!

Omg I love all of this topic lol. I think a special currency/credits would be an excellent idea. I will add more to this after dinner when i'm not starving and wasting away, but I really, really like everything in this topic :P

I really like these suggestions, sam!

I would definitely be purchasing 'credit' with USD in order to benefit my lines even more.
Perhaps another name for it could be "perk points"?

I wuv everything in this!

I'm for it 100%!

(maybe not perk points since it would be abbreviated to PP, which could get confusing. :P )

What about "Horseshoes" or "Horse Bucks" (It's punny, we could show a horse bucking or something, haha)?

Or even just cash shop dollars? We have HPD, then CSD? or something dumb? It just needs to be immediately clear what it is.

I like all of these things! Such good! Much support! Wow! (Yep, I'm all sorts of helpful aren't I).

I think this is a great idea!!!

Would these credits be transferable, just like HPD? That's the one thing I would be concerned about. These all seem like decent perks. 

Yes, they would be!

I definitely like this! I think it would be awesome if there was a bank option for sending the currency to others, so you could purchase layouts/graphics etc. With it. Also, it would be cool if there were auctions for it, like the upgrade auctions. So a player could offer to buy a certain number and then others could bid with HPD. 

I love this idea too! I don't think they should be available for HPD but for 'credits' as you say (carrots? lol) bought with real money. I do think there should be a monthly/weekly limit to how much you can buy, perhaps (items from the store, not credits) but the limit should be relatively high. Or there should be applicability limits (bear with me) so that you can only de-age a horse once, for example (this would mean people with several accounts and several breeding lines can benefit all their lines).

I definitely think it would be an awesome way to give out different prizes through associations, etc.

**I definitely think adding a breed speciality would be worth paying more for, too. 

Love the ideas here!  I would support them being available for high HPD rates, as I think that could help balance the economy.  It would also be nice if HPD could be purchased with credits, although not at a proportionate rate.  If you could buy 1 Credit for $100mil HPD, then you would only be able to buy $25mil HPD with 1 Credit (to ensure Credits were the more valuable commodity).

I love these ideas :D -support-

I have one more comment after thinking about it through the day. I don't agree with the de-aging perk - it's not necessary, and only helpful to letting players gain another million points on a horse. That seems a bit over-kill to me, you know? 

I see your point, but de-aging can also be used by people who accidentally miss a week of training or a breeding?

I do have a couple ideas. I am not sure if this game is based by realism or not - But if it is, I'm here to throw out some ideas I have. 

I was thinking that maybe we could buy a way to get different things for the babies. Like have ONLY girls with a pink ribbon or ONLY boys with a blue. I love the twins idea like you said. I also think that we should be able to level our stallions to be starred stallion (Grand Champion Sires/Best Sire).
