Admin, Bug Fixes, Poll

I love the idea of seasons. I'm not too fussed what sort of time scale they're implemented on so I voted for "yes, but don't care about frequency", but I'm leaning more towards weekly. 4 in 1 week would perhaps be too much. Monthly or fortnightly would be fine as well though. Perhaps this could be involved in the proposed crops feature? Maybe certain crops could only be planted/harvested in certain seasons? Or mature over the course of a 'year'? I'm really looking forward to crops.

All the best in the search for an admin. :) I think it's a great idea for a game and community as large as ours.

I love the idea of seasons. I agree with "4 in1 week would be too much" however I'm also split because it already IS a game year. I feel like once a week would change enough to keep it interesting, but not enough to make it too fast. I love UB's idea to involve the seasons in with the proposed crop feature. I feel that is more realistic.

Good luck on finding an admin!

Ulysses - I KNEW there was another feature I was forgetting about. Yes this would absolutely be used for farms/orchards to have seasonal crops and the like :) I think it's actually the main reason I wanted seasons, but my brain had a disconnect somewhere haha.

I would honestly prefer 1 season per week, I think that pacing would be the best because you're not stuck with a season for an entire month. Also with farms/orchards in mind I would probably say weekly would be best. We'll see though :)

Apologies to those who just got another notification, I made a small edit and forgot it re-notifies :')

That's ok Abbey. I'm sure everyone will forgive you considering all the hard work you are doing to keep it running :)

Got the second notification. But made read about the crops/orchard idea I didn't know about yet.
In that case a weekly change of season might be better. I voted monthly orignally since I don't really like big lay-out changes normally (maybe it's that autism in me ^_^), but that would be a long time for growing the same crops I guess.

Unfortunately I can't change my vote now.

Oh that's a good question would in game seasons change the top banner as well? or would that remain the same with the earthly seasons(for the northern hemisphere anyway xD)

I voted yes with no preference also, but I think the weekly makes the most sense from a player perspective, not too long and easier to remember. While every two days or something would make it realistic to the horse ages, constant turnover would be killer and make people with busy schedules have a harder time to catch certain seasons.

this is very exciting! I can't wait for the new features! :)

So exciting, will the seasons effect breeding? like in real life?

Good luck with the admin!

It sounds like you might need a couple of people for this, one to manage the game and another to run the social media front. Someone might be a pro at this game, but is bad at keeping up with their social media.
The four seasons part sounds cool but hard to have it change every week. How about we have it change every month (total of 4 months). I've only been playing for two weeks ish so i don't know too many people yet.

Will crops be only for only deluxe members or for both types of members? Excited for the new changes. I'm not really picky on how the seasons will go. I hope you have an easy time on finding another admin to help you out with EQ. Also, will the seasons change on how breeding will go?

Love it!

I originally voted monthly but I think that might be too long for seasons if doing crops. Weekly would be better but I kind of like the idea of two weeks. I'm going to guess that crops would be to feed to the horses? And there would be different crops each season? If this is done weekly I feel crops might be too readily available. Two weeks would help keep from having an abundant amount while making sure there are enough. It would be kind of cool to have winter as a rest month as well.

I love the idea of crops! will we b feeding our horses with the crops then? and good luck finding an admin, hopefully you find someone! :)

I wish I had experience running sim games. Modding just isn't the same thing as admin. Good luck to all that apply!
