Removed breeds?

Is there a reason that the Niner pony didn't make it through the recode/won't be brought back?

It was very low in numbers, I think there was something like 3 remaining by the recode announcement? I can't remember exactly how you got a Niner but you had to use a purple potion credit item to create one, and could only breed from other Niner Ponies. People just preferred to buy things like double/triple potions or other more useful items. As for not bringing them back I believe that she didn't want fantasy breeds on the game anymore, and the breed was just a tribute. 

Ahh, okay. That makes sense. I get not wanting to have a fantasy breed in the game, but it would be cool. lol

I know there are a lot of people that want unicorns and Pegasuses to be added, and I do like the idea in theory, but not so much in practice. I'm not sure, but what if the fantasy breeds are the only thing people want to have anymore and we'll remove most of the other breeds like in the old recode? Then this will be a fantasy sim game full of literal kindergarteners and the art community could completely collapse in the focus of the younger people. I'm not saying young players are a problem, but I'm not sure what's best for EV. I do like the Niner pony and think it to be a cute tribute, but I think the story of it is long forgotten and the reason behind it will disappear.
