🐎 December BOTM

The breed of the month competition has been posted to the forum! Prizes include items and bits with many categories to enter. Gallop on over and enter your foundation Dutch Warmbloods into the competition.

✨ Black Friday Sale!

As a reminder, until December 1st, tonight, at midnight EST/gametime ingots are on sale for up to 35% off! We also have a large offering of packages and items in the General Store and Emporium. All profits are going toward our development bills and art updates.

🐴 Campaign Deletion Clarifications

We have had several questions about the upcoming deletions of inactive campaigns. Currently the only campaigns that are at risk are those that meet the requirements: completion is at 0%, have no coins, and <10 gen 1 horses. Campaigns that meet all these requirements will be deleted starting January 2nd, 2026. Clubs younger than 8 months will be safe from deletion. Note, stricter activity requirements will be coming after January 2nd to help purge more clubs who are not active and/or completing campaign requirements quickly. Of which, simply having a campaign coin to claim the breed % and not contribute toward your campaign will not be allowed. We highly suggest you work on submitted campaigns rather than let them sit.  Campaigns are meant to be fun, challenging, and a way for players to directly influence the game so use the feature accordingly!

📝 Community Note

Staff has received several reports and concerns pertaining to player behavior both in-game, in our Discord, and outside of the scope of HoFa. We want to remind everyone that our community is open to discussions, ideas, critique, and input. We have seen an influx of negative sentiment and non-constructive conversations from several players. Recent reports and concerns pertain to folks feeling uncomfortable playing and chatting due to the large amount of arguing and consistently negative and nonconstructive comments. HoFa prides itself on being a game where the players help make decisions, contribute ideas to the game, and are welcome in the community. In doing so we know conflicting opinions and ideas will arise of which should be handled maturely and with respect to others. However recent events have resulted in many unnecessary comments toward staff, other players, and the game as a whole which has many feeling uncomfortable to participate in the community fully.

We want to note that staff always considers the needs and thoughts of all players, not just those that are vocal publicly and we want to create an environment of respectful conversation. Starting today staff will be working more consistently to give warnings and bans to those who foster an environment of negativity, give nonconstructive feedback and/or create a hostile environment. We want to thank those of you who reached out privately to talk with staff about your concerns. Without your input we would not have been able to know how much of an issue this has been.

Have a great week everyone!

Cheers,

Curly
