Diamond Apple to disappear

This article relates to Howrse.com. Well, you've probably seen the news item about this, but if you haven't - read on. As from 1st February 2011, the Diamond Apple coats (DA's) will be removed from Howrse. So you will not be able to create new DA coats from then on. So what about the DA coats you already have on your horses? No need to worry as these will remain. Your horses will not lose their Diamond Apple coats. But if you have any unused DA's - they will disappear from your stock if you do not use them by 1st February.

Howrse say that the reason they are removing them from the game is because people were having "technical" problems when trying to create the coats, saying that yhe feature isn't supported by most internet browsers. Strange, as LucyLou and I have created DA's using Firefox, Internet Explorer (older and newer versions) and Safari. Hmmm. Anyway, that's the reason they give, so it must be true!

Now some players are upset by the removal of the DA's. Others are not. Personally, I never thought they were that great. A lot of the time - the DA's either looked exactly the same as standard coats, or like the result of a fight in a wallpaper shop. On the bright side - once they disappear from the game, they may become a little more valuable. We shall see.

Will you miss Diamond Apple coats ... or not? Let us know what you think.

  1. I never much liked diamond apple coats, but I'll be sure to save a few horses with them to sell for more later on XD

  2. Definitely. I'll bet DA coated horses will shoot up in value, because before long, they will become rarer and rarer. They'll be in demand because they'll be kind of like retired GA coats!!!

  5. Athena will be of much value now.
    With the Diamond apple, plus the fact the ONLY item that boosts stats she doesn't have is Medusa's Blood.
    If I buy that, will her DA go away?

  15. I loved diamond apple coats, but all the browsers I tried(both old and new) wouldn't let me use the diamond apples. It made me mad because I had like 5 to use....

  19. They're incredibly expensive- the lowest you can get them now is about 3 passes or 300k for an unmarked horse. The friesians and unicorns sell for about 20 passes, and the pegasus' sell for about 10 passes.

  21. not trying to start anything but i was just going to say that with all the divine horse potetions and different petetions and stuff could'nt you start one saying we want them back, not sure many people would agree but you could try it on howrse and see, might get enought to message howrse itself!

  22. I love DA coats but they're so expensive now at the least amount of 5000 and 12 passes. I really want one but I never manage to save up enough passes!!

    ReplyDelete

  24. Bring DA's back. I came on howrse way after they expired, but I definetly love them still. Even though they are a bit different, that's what makes them unique. I want one so badly!

    My name on Howrse is lalala:)

  25. As I love them so dearly much I think its un-fair. Shouldnt all patterned horses be removed then? I love horses with patterns!
    Bring them BACK.
