"aging is not an April fools thing. It’s a glitch probably caused inadvertently by April fools, likely to any animal who ages on Mondays. If you have an animal affected, please message me on 2049 with a list of ids and what age you think they should currently be.

This is a post to gather anyone who has noticed changes to their horse or dogs

age, retirment date, birthdate, etc.

I first noticed this issue on April Fools Day

^{(so perhaps this is just an april fools joke?)}

but upon logging into HP today and seeing this issue was still in place I have decided to make a post about it.

SO EVERYONE KNOWS:

1) I have already directly messaged Blitz here on HP.

2) I have directly emailed Blitz outside of HP as well about this.

examples of what I am talking about:

Dogs set to retire on 6/15 are now showing they will retire on 5/26

Dogs set to retire on 7/7 are now showing they will retire on 6/16 

Horse born 3/24 is now showing as 4 years old to retire 7/28 when it should retire 8/19

Generally it seems for myself across 5 breeds (horse/dog) that animals set to retire in June/July or later were affected, nothing before then.

I keep relatively detailed records on retirement dates for animals and I know not everyone does.

If you think you were affected feel free to post below so we have an idea of scale.

Hopefully this was just a 'haha' and is nothing serious :)

but better to post an know then assume and it become a larger issue!

someone else had issues!!! I noticed it yesterday and mentioned it in the group chat asking if it was a cruel april fools joke and several players said it wouldn't be. 

i thought i was just me! several of my dogs have aged forward including 2 of my breeding pairs that are set to age to 16 on sunday!!  i messaged BLitz as well but havn't heard anything.

dogs i found that were affected so far.  i havn't checked any of my other accounts. but the retirement age is good, they all aged forward, they all aged forward about 3 weeks

my Hellhounds: Says they ages on Sunday but the Birthdate is wrong and according to the DOB he should be 2 not 4

I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone. Robin Williams

I know that I at least have a pair of hellhounds that's 15 right now, that should be 11 or 12. 

I definitely have a good few breeds what have been affected too! Some are still okay but others are 2-3 weeks older than they should be! 

All 4 of my horses on this account are affected by this glitch. They turned 3 years old on Monday but are now showing up as 6 year Olds. These are also the only bred/G2 horses I currently have, all my other horses are G1 stores and don't seem to have been affected.

oh god... do I even look through my hoard... - insom

ok so it is an glich. is it both dogs and horses?

yes both horses and dogs. if the animnal aged on a monday it was messed up.

all my faroese horses age on sundays, however my criminal minds divider they are all 10yrs old while the horses that are in my Faroe island dividers are 11yrs old. I haven't look at my other animals, so not sure if any of them have been affected. 

I'm feeling like insom! I have way too many animals everywhere and not enough extra time to go through checking them all!

It's affected me too although I don't think I would have noticed if you hadn't made this post! I wonder how many people are affected but haven't realised? 

it doesnt seem to have did much to critters born on sundays? ot mine arent majerly effcted about this. i still havent checked on ones i am training. i found one pair that it may been hit but nothing that will hurt anything so far. but i know that others are like um helps lol
