New Howrse versions opening now

As I write the new UK version of Howrse is open. Around the world players are eagerly waiting to try out the US, Canadian and Australian versions. It's strange being on a website on it's first day. It feels very empty and a little bit strange. However, they are sure to be popular. We shall see. One big new feature in these new versions, are the Quests. Essentially they are a walk-through, step-by-step guide to using the game. It's a good idea because Howrse lose so many players within the first few days, as people find the game difficult to get to grips with. This new feature is bound to ensure that they stick around long enough to learn the game and enjoy it. Oh, and buy passes too!

You can see the Quest bar at the top of the page. Once you start, it walks you through the process of looking after your first horse. There are rewards (apples, turnips etc) for achieving things such as ageing (spelt the English way now!) him and answering simple questions. It is all designed to teach new players how to look after their first foal and also about how to play the game. As I write, I'm still going through this process, so will let you know more, soon.

How are you finding the new versions? I know that many people are still waiting for the sites to open (especially the poor Australians who have been waiting the longest) but soon enough you'll all have a chance to get registered. So let us know what you think. What you like or don't like.

Good luck!
