So I used to be really active on Pegasus, and only just wandered back by a combination of nostalgia and needing a distraction from work, and it's...interesting seeing what's changed?
On the one hand I really don't mind the changes that much, and personally don't really care about RL money not resulting in as-expected game results because if I actually do spend money on a game it's because of the experience overall/supporting something I'm enjoying more than anything. But it does seem like a lot of changes, all the time, and change is hard on everyone. Add in escalating prices for everything (but tbh what game doesn't run into this problem?) and no wonder it's hard to retain people...
Just from the little bit I've been back there are definitely some thoughts I've had...
- I miss the mayor races! and having multiple sources of income like boarding and training etc...Anything to increase interaction with other people, really and ways to make a little money if you don't have incredible horses yet
- With all the changes it'd be really nice to have a guide as well as clear info about every update - It's not so bad coming back but for a new player the info available isn't complete or up-to-date (and not everyone's brave enough to ask for help right away!)
- Items...are kind of a mess. Also I kind of wish there was a way to search items for sale like you can horses for sale so one could shop around (might help keep prices down?)
- A lot of the fun of contests, RPGs, conversations, etc require more players, but maybe official contests of some kind could increase engagement/encourage new people to stay? Prizes could be rare items, providing another way to get them
I don't know, I've been having fun since coming back but it is pretty quiet around here...

FE - I totally agree with you....I feel like the only thing to do now is put my horses in jumpoffs. If I could pick any time period, I would like to see PB how it was around the time they released Nokota server. Tons of manip contests, mayor races, RPGs, every horse breed under the sun could be found for sale...you could board/train/grow feed, enter your horse in shows. It was just awesome.

WR- It makes playing hard sometimes.
BMC- That would be great; I've tried everything I can think of.
AP- I was thinking along the lines of a lot of the horse community forums, maybe reaching out to friends who we know love horses. FB ads garner a LOT of traffic now a days. Perhaps they should put someone in charge of a Ponybox social media platform. Have player of the week/month spotlight posts, horses of the week, that type of thing.
FE- They really should! A good guide to PB and its updates would help players a lot as well! I feel the same way; I'll take a break and when I come back, everything is different again.

Idk why they dont advertise like any other game. But they keep changing things and running off all the best players including myself. I spend money and every time something changes and my horses are useless again.

Yes, it is so sad to see PB dead. How could we help promote it again???? I found out about PB in middle school when I was flipping through a Young Rider magazine.

Would you like some help with possibly getting your horses jumping better?
