As many of my friends know, I rarely spend Star Coins on anything other then horses and stable care. Here are some tips for saving them:
1. Only buy a horse when you’re up to a certain amount. Eg, only ever buy a horse if after buying it you’ll have 1000 star coins left. 2. Get clothes and tack with Jorvik Shillings. You can earn these while talking to your friends rather then talking to them while standing around! 3. Obvious one, train horses yourself rather then using a horse trainer. 4. Buy stable care in one day blocks and buy it every other day! Green face horses, rich owner. 5. Or you can just care for all of your horses, your choice! 6. For things that you can only buy with Star Coins give yourself an allowance. “Each month I will only spend 200 star coins apart from on horses and stable care” Enjoy your star coins! Let’s take a look at global. “Will you joining my club” “342 to join my club” “SNEAKY WOLVES, ACTIVE, FRIENDLY, 444 TO JOIN” “Mail Harry Potter to join the DA today!”
Okay, I made the last one up, but honestly there’s so much spam on global for clubs. I think that there needs to be somewhere else to advertise your clubs, and for people to search for a new one. But where? How about the notice board in Silverglade? A club owner would go there and write a short paragraph about their club. Then someone could browse through the clubs and read the paragraph. They could also see the amount of people in the club and the amount of people online. Then they could contact the owner via a button which would send the owner a mail notifying them that someone was interested in join with that person’s name. I think that this would be much better for club owners and those people who wish to find a club! This idea was based on an initial idea by Esme Silverforce The mall. We have all been there, whether to quest, buy clothes, meet friend or even see Raptor. The mall opened in Spring 2015, much to everyones’ excitement. We all flocked there to see the new clothes and at first we flocked in Evian. The clothes were simply other clothes moved into the mall. Over time we saw more and more clothes coming, on a regular bases. Is this good for the game? Well it means that Star Stable have the chance to experiment with clothes. we know this as we have seen a massive rise in the quality. Plus this means that there is something for everyone and their style. By this I think the mall is good. However, it is one of the few places in game that both Star Riders and Non Star Riders go. Most Star Riders stick to Star Rider areas but they do go to the mall. I like this because the newer members of the game can start to feel the true vibe of their server. On the other hand, more bullying may occur because of the level mix. Overall, I do like the fact that the mall is a chance for newer and older players to fix and that it gives everyone a chance to enjoy their own style!
I’m definitely meant to be packing at the moment! Oh well, in true me fashion I’ve snuck off to write. Today I was playing a game with my sisters on the Apple TV and I got a badge ‘1000 clones killed’. Yes, not the best badge to get but I like it. It’s also in Club Penguin (something I used to play a long time ago). You could do certain things and unlock badges. Some of them with hidden things in game, others more obvious things such as getting over 100m in the air in the surfing flip. These are really cool and I’d love to see them in SSO. When you got a badge it would appear on the screen and both you and your friends could check through your badge book so you could try to earn more in a ‘friendly’ competition with your friends and club mates. I think the badge should look something like this: Well it’s good bye from me! I have posts scheduled everyday at 6pm (GMT time). I can be contacted over my Instagram, so goodbye and good night. Happy New Year! I’m back on Monday.
Hello! I spent today preparing for my holiday because I wanted to do most of the scheduled posts today. I also finally got Pokemon go! I haven’t actually been anywhere yet but I’m a level 4 and planning to choose Valour (I think it’s called that).
But most important, in the evening FR ran a massive open event! I was surprised with the turn out. Almost 50 people came which is pretty crazy! I’ve just had a busy day being a club owner and doing all of the admin. Not much to post about because all of my creativity is currently in writing the posts for when I’m away. I’ve had an amazing day! I haven’t done a lot on SSO (although I did sneak on for a bit) so I thought I’d do something similar to yesterday and just talk about my day.
I was woken up at the unruly hour of 8:20 by my sisters. However, after telling them not very politely to go away I managed to get another hours sleep before I delved into my stocking. It was the normal (but truly amazing) presents from Mum and Dad, or so i thought until I felt a prick in my hand. My parents had put a pineapple in my stocking! After a big breakfast of cereal, coffee, grapefruits and those French things that I can’t spell. I then dressed before the rather stressful present opening! I am very thankful towards all of the people who got me something this Christmas! I love each and every thing so much. One of the things I got was a Control for the Apple TV. My sisters and I then played a car game with it, much laughter and fun game with that! Another amazing present was 2000 star coins from my sisters. I put this onto my account today and with I brought a long wanted Andy. So welcome to my home stable Royaltorch aka Tora! The best glasses are being used, every space in the house is taken up by a bed and the meals take twice as long as normal. That’s right, it’s time for family to come round for Christmas! I haven’t had any time to write a proper blog post today and I had to write this just because it feels so strange not writing for a day. It’s Christmas in about 15 minutes but I don’t feel at all Christmassy. However, I do need to put out my socking because I still think I’m on Santa’s schedule! It’s been cool to have a day in the real world. We looked at my cousin’s photos from her field work. We had dinner and after which we watched Finding Dory! I loved it, it was so sweet. This was followed swiftly by Gothern (for the older ones). I need sleep and all that’s left to say is, GOD JUL!
Whilst I was Skyping Ava Northstar today to celebrate her 22nd birthday, an idea struck me. We were up at Everwind Fields and I saw the hot airs balloons. What if we could fly them? You would get on them and use your arrow keeps to navigate them around Jorvik, giving you amazing views of the island. I think that that would be so cool! The sights of Jorvik would be amazing, looking down onto Dino Valley for example.
I think that it would be an amazing cool addition to the game, what do you think? Is it worth it or would players only go on it once, never to be used again? Today I tried to get back into high scoring. I started by finding some race tack, I was very puppy with it besides… I couldn’t find my proper horse shoes. I looked and looked but ended up putting with with an Aideen’s Runner.
I then only high scored on one race, Jasper’s backwards. I came second of the day, which I was happy of as I didn’t have max stats. I still remembered all of the short cuts and I just love the feeling of racing. However, I got very annoyed when I looked at the high scores and saw scores of 57/58 seconds compared to my 1:03. I feel that anything faster than 1 minute has been acquired by cheating. It annoyed me because how can I race without cheating when everyone else cheats? It isn’t fair. Then I decided to make a collection of all my high scores here, on the blog. I can strive to beat my own times rather then beating a time that someone has cheated to get. So here are my high scores. I only have one at the moment but hopefully that will change! Golden Hills 1:03:10 Jasper’s, the other way around 22/12/18 (not maxed stats) Harvest Countries Silverglade And the Star Stable news is here! We have the last of the Christmas quests and tomorrow we will all be able to jump around Jorvik on our reindeer! I look forward to this every year and there is just something about riding a reindeer that me smile. Also, Raptor has returned in a rather… interesting way. He seems to have taken to performing his new album on a sleigh, which is on a car, which is driving around Jorvik City. Where he is concerned, nothing surprises me. In true Raptor style, he hasn’t yet had the time to release his new album cover! Of course, it is down to us to design it with a prize of a goodie bag and our design being of Spotify. I shall be entering but I will design mine when I am on holiday over New Year. SSO has been very kind and has given us 11 photos of Raptor to use in our album. I need to start writing down ideas. Sadly, this is the last news of 2016, but they will be back in January. If you wanted any contest information, you can find it in the photo below. Finally, there is the normal new clothes in the mall Imagine an outfit with the white top, trousers, gloves and boots. I love it! I love the clothes and textures on all of them! I really like the ruffle tecture on the tops and the lace textures on the boots. Reccently I think that all the clothes must have been designed for me because I love them so much!
What do you think? It’s finally feeling like Christmas. It took 2 days of Frosty Roses theme week, cold and tucked up reading a book (Eliza Rose) in front of the fire before I felt it! So have you been keeping up with the Star Stable advent calendar? Well here are the days and their gifts/ codes: 14th - Jumper (W1NT3RSW3ATER) 15th - Hat (W1NT3RH0H0HAT) 16th - digital wallpaper 17th - saddle pad (WINT3RP4D16) 18th - 20% off SSO merch 19th - saddle (W0WS4DDL3) 20th - digital wallpaper It’s been a really good year so far with the SSO advent calendar: I feel the outfits are less ‘newby’ and I will actually wear them rather then mixing it with other clothing! It’s good that as the players fashion sense has changed, so has SSOs. As I was tucked in front of the fire I saw a video from one of my favourite SSO YouTubers, Northena. I decided to watch through the video and I was amazed: This theory makes so much sense! I think that this is awesome and I am getting so much inspiration from it to write a story. However, I think that your character isn’t quite a reincarnation. I think that your character is simply a descendent and has the powers ‘switched on’. I really like this idea as I think it explains a lot of things and isn’t that far fetched.
On the subject of the main story quests, have you seen the new loading page of Dark Core? It’s really cool and I hope it means new story quests soon! Some think tomorrow but I doubt it as I think they’d give us a sneak peak first. Almost certainly we’ll be saving Anne but I hop there is more training in there as well! I can finally do the Madison quests because the glitch has been fixed! I’m going to do them tomorrow however since I want to do them in the light and I have a headache now. Today I want to have a bit of a moan based on a few incidents that have bee happening in FR. As the owner, I get a lot of people coming to me about drama, things that have upset them and this is obviously 100% okay as that’s kind of my role of owner. However, recently lots of people have been upset about outfit stealing so I want to talk about that to try and see if I can stop it happening.
First things first. Unlike stealing someones art piece, it is not legal to take someone’s outfit idea on Star Stable. They have no legal ground against you, true. However, if someone took one of you unedited Instagram photos of Star Stable and posted it without credit, how would you feel? Fun fact, in that situation you would have no legal grounds against them because you do not own that photo. But does that make it right? No. Of course it doesn’t. You put time into that photo, and the same applies for outfits. It can take a very long time to find the perfect outfit and looks good together. You spend 30 minutes running across the map for clothes and piecing it together. You go to stand at Steve’s with your friends before logging off. You can back on to find, to your horror, that one of those friends is being complemented on your outfit. They took 3 minutes to make it because all they had to do it get the clothes, not actually design it. That is creative work that you have taken. So yes, they have no legal grounds against you but that doesn’t make it right. Inspiration is okay and coincidences do happen, but when someone hangs out with someone and half an hour later has the same outfit? I think that’s just called copying and please let’s refrain from doing it! Good night! Hi I’m back home finally! I am tired but I managed to find a new blog to read. It is by Haley Rainstorm and it is very active and enjoyable to read! I am yet to find an active English blogger and I’d love to have any suggestions, or even suggestions of Swedish ones. Yes, Haley does blog in Swedish but for those of you who tarla inte Svenska can use a translator. If you are reading this and haven’t got a blog, please consider it! I find it very rewarding and fun to do!
Have you ever noticed the number plates on cars? Well there are 5 different number plates that I managed to see around Jarlaheim, here have a look! 4 of these 5 number plates have the letters: Ale, Ann, Lin and Lis. These aren’t random letters, they are the first 3 letters from each soul riders name. Alex, Anne, Linda and Lisa! However, you can see another name too: Andrew? Who could he be and why would his name be associated with soul riders? I wasn’t sure so I checked on Jorvikpedia (both English and Swedish) and nothing came up. I thought of the nickname, “Andy” but he is just a person in Firgrove who doesn’t need to have any connection to the main story line. Who could this Andrew be? Maybe I’m looking into it too much and it is just a name for an unnamed NPC but SSO clearly thought into the number plates when they used the soul riders name so I’m interested, why Andrew?
Why do you think? It’s almost time for me to toddle off on holiday, but don’t worry I have posts scheduled for the week that I’ll be away. It’s been the talk of the town in Cupcake Valley, this brand new recruit a friend feature.
I can see perfectly well why Star Stable has done it. To make more money! People are more likely to try and get a friend to play so that they will get the rewards, and who can blame them! I myself will be one of those people trying to find a friend and force them to play. Why? Because I really want all of the items! I’m not so bothered about the Star Coins but the clothes, saddle bag and frog look amazing and I want them. However, this system can be abused and I know people are already doing so. You can make another account and claim 150 star coins the you never plan to spend more on this account. This is cheating the system and I don’t agree with it but nothing is stopping them! (It is different if you want another account and you plan to buy a Star Rider for it and quest.) The outfit, saddle bag and frog look so cool! Here is a timeline of when you get what and a close up of each thing! Have you seen the Star Stable advent calendar? I really like the hat and jump! I’ve spent today getting ready irl for Christmas and we are going to visit family tomorrow.The quests were fun but they continue tomorrow so it looks like I’ll quest then. However, there was so much lag. Cupcake Valley had a server crash and it was really laggy. If you haven’t found the advent calendar, follow the link:
https://www.starstable.com/en/campaign/holidaycalendar Also, Madam Asp and Jollisters in Governors Falls have stocked up with some new clothes. I really like these clothes and I’m so tempted to buy everything apart from the middle and furthest right tops. I’m always looking for a new pair of black trousers as I use them as a base for every outfit and I love the texture and details on the grey ones. I also love the details on the helmet as well as how realistic it looks! Since I love things with more then one piece of clothing involved, another one of my favourite things is the checked top and the matching hat. I love the light brown boots as I love the style and I love the textures! And finally, snow has come to Jorvik! I like this because it means that it is here for FRs Christmas week next week. I must go and get ready for climbing.
What did you think of the update? I’m a story writer and even over 2 and a half years ago I came up with the story behind my main account, Lisa Silentland.
I’d recently been reading a book (I can’t remember what) with a character called Lisa in and I’d been to Shetland, which is where the ‘Silentland’ part came from. Lisa was a young girl from Britain who was given the magic gift by her aunt to go to Moorland stable. She LOVED it and it was like MAGIC. Hence the name for my starter horse, Lovemagic. She loved being around horses but was better at theory since the thought of being on the horse could sometimes scare her… However, most of the time she could put aside this fears and get along with the thing that she enjoyed - riding. In many ways Lisa Silentland compares to me and my own life but on SSO she is very confident and I think looked up to by some? (This is what people have told me, I have no clue whether or not it’s true!) This doesn’t compare to real life so much (I’m confident in some situations and not so in others) but being able to come on and just be me can sometimes be a relief! Today in Frosty Roses we had our St. Lucia event! St. Lucia is a festival which is celebrated in many countries including Sweden, which is why we celebrated it today. Everyone voted for our Lucia who was Elizabeth Eveningnight and then dressed up in various outfits, from candle holders to Santas to Gingerbread men
We did a parade. However, I want to talk to you about the SSO community. Normally in events we had people joining in but today some people did and we didn’t mind. They walked around the city with us sensibly and just were doing it to have fun. Then, at the end we went to the Ice Cream place where we were ‘served’ by some happy ‘waitresses’! I love this about the Star Stable community that you don’t even have to talk to some to (for example) engage in a rear off. It’s a unique thing to here and I’m happy to be a part of it. But more importantly, 13 days until Christmas! |
