I don’t see the point in mentioning players who have been absent from the game or their horses. Is it because you want that horse? Releasing horses from members just because they haven’t logged on is stealing. It’s theirs whether they bought it or bred it. I have been playing Equiverse since 2012 and the longest period I went without playing was 2-3 years. You have no idea how grateful I am to continue coming back to the game with my things untouched. It doesn’t affect anyone for players and their horses to be locked, especially considering if they were active the horse would still be theirs.

In real life, a lot of breeding horses is to pair them so that their conformation works together to create a better horse, there’s not a ton you can do training wise to change the actual structure of a horse in which is was born with so so while I do think training for conformation would be nice, I don’t think it should be the biggest way to improve conformation. I do see where a horse with a poor top line or lack of hip can be greatly improved through gaining muscle and training, which is where I think training should come into play, but it’s not like you can shorten a horse’s back by training it, that comes purely from breeding. This is so dang accurate, thank you :D My pony has a poor topline from lack of exercise(she's roughly 11hh), so that's the only form of 'conformation training' possible, even still it won't change her neck, only built muscle.

I don't have anything against having a way to train conformation. Even if it was maybe just a little bit for any given horse, so future generations could be a little better than the last. Say maybe you could increase 5-10% for one horse. I don't personally care a whole lot about conformation, but I know plenty of people do.

well, a horse with poor leg conformation will likely brush its front legs, hurting itself. Often Brushing Boots are used but I think there is a way to fix the stance a tiny bit to help reduce this issue, so a *slight* increase in confo I like, maybe just round up to the nearest solid number?

This why I put this in EC, and not in Suggestions!

I by no means am a conformation breeder, because conformation doesn't affect anything on this game. I'm purely NSS first and Color second. However, I would breed for conformation if it affected *a little bit* of how horses were shown in shows. I don't agree with changing the decimals around from 80 to 8, because like stated before, a horse with 8% conformation would likely not survive realistically. I feel like Foundation Horses should start maybe around 40-50% instead of 50-60%. That way it gives you room to increase your horse's conformation 5-10% and then you can breed for a higher base conformation in the foals. With eventually getting your horses theoretically up to 100% perfect conformation.

I totally agree with what Deer Creek and the others said!!! I can track my horses lines back many years, quite a few I can track back to my very first horses when I first joined this game in 2008. I don't always have time to work with them, which is why I love the Locking feature so much. One thing's for sure, if my horses just up and disappeared because someone decided I hadn't been on it a long time, and didn't deserve the horses, credits, money, and items anymore; I would be so mad, demanding my horses back, and or quitting the game. I've had a horse stolen from me before; don't care to repeat that experience.

Everyone is entitled to have their opinions even if it's unpopular opinions.

What do you mean by genetic based? I'm not necessarily for it because I don't think I understand what you mean, but I'm not against it. I do think that the conformation system needs to be reworked in some kind of way.

Yeah, I do see your point as I am not sure how to implement it in the game either. IMO, any kind of changes to conformation will be hard to be implemented due to a major conformation imbalance in existing horses.

I get really dizzy if I see all this.. Perfect would be HH HH HH HH | hh hh hh hh Poor would be hh hh hh hh | HH HH HH HH Ex: Head - HH HH HH HH | hh hh hh hh (Perfect) Neck - HH HH hh hh | HH HH hh hh (Average) Legs - hh hh hh hh | HH HH HH HH (Poor) Knees - Hh HH Hh HH | hh hh hh hh (Perfect because H is the dominant trait) BREEDING EXAMPLE: SIRE HEAD: HH Hh hh HH | hh hh HH Hh DAM HEAD: HH hh Hh HH | hh Hh HH Hh

@ Wrangler, that's why I suggested that we developed our own system. Their system is a good idea but is too advanced for EV as EV is a simpler and less realistic game than the game I am talking about. We can develop a different genetic-based system that's more suitable for EV.
