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.
