| In which case they won't notice the LB horses not being available 🤣 But yes I definitely agree it should be communication based. The only downside I can see is if a youngling is spam breeding something you can't get in touch and ask them to stop, but then again if its a personal choice to restrict contact I guess that just becomes one of those things? Ill definitely write up a suggestion about it |
| ~Emerald Acres Stud~ |
| I remember back in the early days we had "neighbour" chat where you could chat to friends |
| HolyGrail |
| As a silent player and as an older person, Having a separate chat grouping would be great. I'm not massively keen on an open forum chat, You can pick up typing mannerisms of younger people and having an open chat could unfortunately open the door to some gross PM content. I would personally block PM's from under 16's |
| Thornwood Manor |
| Some play for real though I'm sure. Also side note, I have like 3 days until I set up my trial lesson with a local barn. I'm so excited |
| Charlie's Stable |
| Agreed. And, on top of that, those 14 and under, for the most part, do not really have a breeding goal other than pretty horses. They will have fifty AAA rated 1 of 1 SHs. So, gameplay is already somewhat stifled by experience, intelligence, and maturity. (Not knocking the color breeders.) |
| Thornwood Manor |
| I think having the ability to turn PMs off from receiving messages from younger players and a seperate chat for younger players would be great, especially since blocking them in the normal sense means they can't interact with horses. So LB breeders would struggle. It should be mostly communication |
| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| Same Min, especially with the ban on social media for under 16s coming |
| Minerva |
| Not to mention it could go the other way as well. Im not a parent but if I had a 13 year old on here Id be much happier if their interactions with adult strangers was limited |
| Charlie's Stable |
| I think it would mainly just be the chat side that would be affected. They could still interact with all the horses. And PM as long as the account is accepting PM from any age group. |
| Thornwood Manor |
| I watch chat between calls at work. It's so much better than traffic stops and alarm calls |
| Minerva |
| There would definitely be kinks for someone much clever than me to work out. But I think it could be a nice compromise to let kids still enjoy the game without putting people off that aren't as tolerant to them |
| Boulder Creek |
| From the system side of things - would it update once a day to add new accounts to the If Yes Than It would definitely be a very different game - It would almost run like two different playing fields. If 'Adults' had the LeaderBoards and blocked the Young Players from interacting with their horses - it could effectively stifle game play for a generation interesting concept for sure |
| Tanglewood |
| Ash but what if I DO have an Olympic showjumper named Steve what then |
| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| Yeah, same - I’d feel harsh blocking loads of younger people (who are just being young, so fair enough - I just don’t want to interact with younger people) so I don’t bother. Plus it’s weird to me that people can see who’s blocked them 😅 |
| Kiwi Mountains |
| Naw, I'm on a monitoring job so we've got hours of downtime so I've spent the last hour or so watching free Willy lol. I forget everything this movie did for the orca, Keiko 😭 |
| Minerva |
| Boulder- I go on lunch in an hour so Ill type something up 😊 It would definitely improve my QOL and if theres a choice then there would be plenty of players who arent that fussed who won't bother with it |
