All these changes they've implemented to "improve" the site have done nothing but drive loyal long time players away and scare off new ones. It was then I realized that my beloved game and turned into something I didn't even recognize. I recently created a new account to try it out again as I loved this game. Unfortunately life got in the way and I wasn't able to play for two years resulting in my account being deleted. I had so much fun breeding, buying and selling horses. I have played howrse for several years and was obsessed with this game. Honestly surprised that this game has survived the growth of social media, as it is just the sort of uncaring corporate monolith that is regularly taken down by organized protest. Game reps have admonished players with rude and inappropriate language, without repercussion. Non-appealable decisions by game administrators eliminate accounts, sanction players, and punish game members for minor or innocent offenses. Huge game upheavals occur regularly as rules are changed with little or no warning, leaving long-time players at a serious loss. That is something to consider before joining a sim game with possibly addictive elements.īut what is more alarming is the hostility and outright contempt with which the administrators of the game treat their players. ![]() In talking with other players, I have learned that investments of hundreds and even thousands of dollars annually are required to play competitively. Ostensibly open to players of all ages, it is free to open an account, but requires a significant investment of real money to advance. I am honestly shocked at this game's operation. I seriously can't stand the administration or MODS. I just keep my account active to spite them, I've played for 5 years and never got sanctioned, doesn't matter. Try telling your 5 year old that even though she didn't do anything wrong, they can still punish her. 6 months later my husband or daughter are still banned, and I'm not allowed to use the forums. I would've deleted it myself but I have 10 Divines, and have never spent a penny on their damn game and didn't want to give them the satisfaction. So I sent them ANOTHER email and said "your punishing my family for being low income and sharing a device, and I don't deserve accusations thrown in not just my face but my husband's and 5 year old daughters too" they told me to watch my mouth or they would delete my account. When I contacted them they said they were justified and would not reverse the ban. Now my husband and 5 year old daughter had accounts and we all share a device so I figured that's what confused them. I was playing the game one day and it randomly logged me out stating I was banned for multiple accounts. I do NOT appreciate being falsely accused of something. Okay so I would like to state i do enjoy the game itself. I started playing this game in 2014, and seeing howrse just accusing me of something that didn't even happen is even more sad. I never shared my account with ANYONE, and never made a multi account. When the penalty is over you can continue playing on one account. We consider the punishment justified and we will not remove it.įurther messages will not change the answer. Your account was detected during a check. ![]() So it has nothing to do with the sale of horses to another player, but with sharing your account (not through co-management) or creating additional accounts. Multi-account usage means that a player creates more than one account per server, or that several players play on a single account. This is reported on several pages in the game. Having multiple accounts (called multi-accounts) is strictly prohibited on Howrse. The picture I attached down there, is in Dutch, let me translate it for you. This means I need to wait 9 MONTHS to get back to how I was before yesterday. Not helpful at all, and I spent over 300 euro's on this game. ![]() I sent them a mail, and everything they told me was that "my account is potential of having multi accounts". Then when I came back home after going to my horse riding lesson, I find out that I got banned. So around yesterday, I sold 3 horses to someone. Howrse is a amazing game, which I used to like alot myself.
