Hey everyone!


 


Sometime this coming week we should be getting a major new feature into the game! So I’m going to give you a little preview of what it will be now (and I’ll post a more detailed post of exactly how it works once it comes out so everyone knows how to use it).


 


I talked about it in one of my previous posts, but basically we are going to automate Binny’s sales and add those items (plus a few new ones) into the store! Basically this way, we can easily make things available in the store, and then things like retirement breedings will happen instantly once they’ve been paid for instead of waiting for an admin to do it.


 


Plus, since it’ll be programmed in, we can add some cool, new things that we wouldn’t have been able to do manually! This is the list of what will be in the store to start:


  • One & Two Year De-Ages


  • One Year Age Forward


  • Gender Change


  • Retirement Breeding


  • Extra Show Pass (lets you make double public shows for a week)


  • Extra Private Show Pass (lets you make double private shows for a week)


  • Foal Gender Picker (allows you to always pick the gender of your foals/pups of your breed specialty)


  • Twin Potion (guarantees twins)


  • Double Extra Shows (allows you to add an extra extra 10 energy to a horse or dog for the week, so if you’ve already bought the 10 extra shows in the store that we have now, you can also purchase this to now have 100 energy)


  • Permanent Extra Energy (would give your horse/dog the 10 energy boost that you can get in the store now, but wouldn’t expire each week)


  • Double Tickets (allows you to get double tickets for the month)


  • Prime Advertising (allows you to post in a bold alias in the chats)


  • More Limited Edition Animals (allows you to buy more stores of limited edition breeds, like the liberty lab and patriot paint when they’re not in the regular store)


     


    Some of these things will be more rare than others and only available sometimes, while others will be available all the time (like the double tickets and limited edition animals). There will also be some other limits on them. Like you can only de-age an animal once in it’s lifetime and other similar restrictions to make things fair!


     


    In this version of Binny’s Sales you will have more than one option to pay for these things:


  • You will be able to pay in HPD, like usual, which will help with the economy (for reasons why we want to help the economy on HP, please read THIS TOPIC).


  • You will also be able to pay with USD - we will have a special currency (Horse Bucks!) which you can buy through PayPal, and then use for these things. You will also be able to sell them to other players in auctions (similar to the graphics auctions), and transfer them to other players for services, if you so choose to. (This option will also help to support HP!)


  • Finally, you will be able to trade your referral and achievement points for them! Referral points will be counted the same as they are now for trading to HPD and upgrade time, and everyone will get one achievement point per achievement that they have. If you trade in an achievement point, you will not lose the achievement badge on your page! We’re hoping that this will encourage people to collect achievements and also refer people!


     


    This way they will be accessible to all players, with different abilities to pay for things! Some may not have HPD, but have USD, and some may not have USD but have HPD, and some may only have points to spend! So this way there’s a way for everyone.


     


     


    I’m opening up a topic in the forums for people to comment or ask questions :). You can also message me!


     


    Soon we will also have some other new feature and revamp annoucements coming your way! But one thing at a time, right?

    I believe there's been a few more bugs and hiccups than anticipated, and since its got a RLD component the staff want to make sure it's completely bug free before they release it for us. Not sure how much longer it will be, but I am super excited!
