PEOPLE ARE ALREADY COMPLAINING SAYING THE BLUE ROAN IS UNREALISTIC TO THE REGISTERED BREED

For those not in the know, there was, at the bottom of the left-hand pages, a section that said Relationships. They were listed as each other's girlfriends, and before that, they were listed as each other's BFFs. Alex also had James listed as her brother.

Below are some characters that still have the Relationships section in their journal pages. Keep in mind that some characters just don't have them and never did. Also, I have done every quest in the game, so nothing is missing from these journal entries.

I will be writing SSO's customer support about this, and I encourage you all to do the same. Here is a direct link to their customer support form:

Remember not to be rude to the Customer Support people. Unless they start acting rude, or in this case homophobic, of course; in that case you have my blessing as a former customer service person to chew them out :)

SSO is supposed to be a safe space for everyone and the Alex and Maya ship is very precious to us.

We do get a lot of letters from parents concerned by our stance in the hbtq question especially around the rainbow festival. And they often write to the people who is giving us the "this is safe for you child to play" badges. They write about that we promote gay relationships and should have those bages removed from our game. Because of this we have often been sneaky and added things so the players would see the hbtq representation but not the parents so they won't ban the game for their kids. Other times we have been a bit more straight on and bold like with the pride ribbons we made. One thing that gave us a lot of backlash was when we wished everyone a happy pride month on our newspagea frew years ago. Then the complains came in droves from angry parents. In the end it was removed from our English newspost to guard us from the angry American moms, but we kept it in all other languages. Our developers were not happy and there was a raging storm inside the company, but it was unfortunately outside of our control.

My stupid ass saving up to buy 20 woodears in October:

We are planning on retrofitting all of the breeds, and we are trying to be smart about it. The ones who get retrofitted from now on are "finalized" for the time being. They wont get more items added until we have a new item system in place.

When planning these projects, we need to plan them on amounts of items fitted and amounts of instances in the game, not amount of breeds. So the Jorvik wild horse was a big project with 13 missing items. It's also a horse with a lot of npcs (50 instances), there is the possibility that there would be a lot of places to fix broken npcs. When we planed this project originally we would only do the wild horse because of its complexity. It was also a HIGLY requested horse to be retrofited so we wanted to do it asap. When we looked more into the project we said we would be able to add another horse with just a few missing items. And since the paint would be this year's birthday horse together with the Soulsteed (JWH) we thought it was a nice opportunity to add it to the project so the two birthday horses would be able to use all tack :D

Because of this I've asked the quest team to be VERY careful when adding horse npcs. Because it can create a shitload of work finding every bugged out horse in all the quests.

Now we have paused the creation of new tack pieces. Every new breed, and every newly retrofitted horse have all the tack and will not get another reload. So I have kind of "greenlit" them so the designers can use them in the world however they like. The Arabians and Pintabians are not "greenlit", they still miss a few tack pieces, so replacing the old npcs with new ones before the last retrofit would make it an even more complex project.

Belive me, the designers want to replace all the old npc horses but it takes time, with a game this old there's a lot of things to consider and a task that might seem simple for you can be super complex for us. It's like we want to to this, but in order to do this we must do that first, but to do that we need to fix this other thing, and to fix that other thing we need this person, but this person is busy with solving another issue, so we need to wait for them to finish that, and so on.

Anyway, several big blockers have finally disappeared for the retrofitting and we can finally start doing it again. And that means we will get more finalized horses to populate the world riskfree with. And all new horse breeds (from lippy and forward) already have all the tack so they can be used immediately like the mustangs. So you will probably see a lot more updated old npc horses from now on. ;) <3
