So that's what their surprise was yesterday! Well I must admit it was an unexpected surprise and I love the idea and I know there will be 6 very happy people in the world when they get these prizes. Basically go to the Star Stable instagram @starstableonline and enter the competition to design a horse and write in under 50 words why you should get it. You must tag a friend and they will also get the same prize as you. Of course, the winner will be luck but maybe you'll just be one of the lucky ones that win:
I haven't entered yet, but I of course will! I'm just waiting until I've found my perfect design. I'm liking the second one best at the moment! What are your horse designs like? I went for ones that were basically normal with a twist! I admit though, the amount of spam on my instagram (@li.silentland) at the moment is unreal! Also, did I mention I'm getting YouTube soon?

Well this is an unexpected update, Silverglade Equestrian center has been given a new look. I'll show you some comparison pictures! I like the way that they've got rid of those big steps at the sides and back of the manor. On the side facing the stable it is simply a wall and at the back there is a mini balcony. It just makes it all seem more realistic. I also liked that instead of three doors leading to the library, there is only one. This I think just gives it a nicer feel. Another thing giving it a nicer feel is the brick house instead of the factory thing. Jovik is certainly a place without factories, and the idea has always been that the islanders live in harmony with nature and it is GED that combats that. It is nice that the designers have bought that into the game and made the Equestrian center look friendlier to nature. However, I wasn't so sure about the new colour of the main buildings. It looks more yellow and actually just looks dirty. Also the front of the house just looks square and boring. I like that it doesn't have the pillars, but surely they could of added that touch of red colour? I'm not too keen on the new things that look like they are holding the wall up. I mean really? But it is nice that sso have updated their graphics a but on things like the bricks. I like the way that they are doing up village and things, but they need to be very careful that they don't lose old Jovik. See more photos below. The final thing of this weeks update was some new denim clothes. I'm not so sure about the tops and dresses, but I quite like the trousers. Not sure why ssso made such a big deal of them though! You can find these in the shops around the fountain at the Equestrian center and in the mall. Once upon a time, if riders couldn't get to clothes, tough. I feel like the mall takes a lot of the newer clothes away from just the higher level players. For example, I bough an outfit made entirely out of new clothes for my level 12 (soon to turn level 13) second account. Surely that should not be possible? So what did we get from this show?
Also there was a little sneak peek at the end of the show. I'll write another post about that!
Aww man, come on! There must be something you can tell us?! Haha, okay I can maybe tell you a couple of things... As soon as this spring there'll be a new area opening up! It's of course not as big as Epona, but there'll be brand new territory to gallop across, explore and have adventures in! You'll have to wait and see which area it's going to be though! Later in the year towards winter is when you'll get another new area! This year we'll be developing and expanding 'My Stable' with loads of new functions! We're also aiming to bring you guys a brand new function where you and your horse will be able to learn special abilities that'll help you improve your results when you race! There's loads more cool stuff we've got planned, but you'll still be able to expect a fun stream of great features in our weekly updates such as new quests, new gear, clothes and horses and much more. At the same time as all of that, we'll be working hard to improve and upgrade the game with new graphics, sounds and more! Wow, this all sounds incredible! 'My Stable' though, what's happening there? I don't want to go into too much detail and promise too much, but our goal right now is to work towards allowing you to get a bigger stable that you can decorate and personalize in your own style! Along with all that, we've been thinking of more fun features, but you'll have to wait and see what they might be...! Bigger stables! We've been waiting for that! Awesome! What else did you mention just then? Something about special abilities in races? Yeah, we've been wanting to do this one for a while! You'll be able to learn special riding abilities from the horse trainers in the game, just as you learn from them how to lead your horse. You can use these abilities with your horses to, for example, ride faster for a short time, go instantly from standing still to a full gallop, and much more! Are these magical powers? No, at least not to begin with anyway. Our thought here is to try and make it so that the boosts you get are similar to the advantages you'd have if you were an extremely good rider in real life. You won't be able to constantly use the boosts, or use them all at once, so you'll have to be careful and tactical in your choices when you use them in a competition. Sounds like racing is about to get a whole lot more exciting! Yeah, absolutely! The championships and races are such an important part of the game, and we know there's lots we can do to improve them in the future. So when can we expect all this awesomeness? These are advanced features that require a lot of work and programming, so I can't really promise exactly when it'll all be done except to say that the My Stable features and special racing abilities will most likely be released at some point in 2016. Keep your eyes on the weekly news for more information as it comes out, because I think I've already said way too much! Haha! You also mentioned improvements to sound and graphics and other things. Is there anything in particular you'd like to tell us about the stuff that'll be visually upgraded? We're going to keep on working to improve and upgrade the older areas like Silverglade, and there'll be great graphic improvements for the game's lead characters. Alex, Lisa, Linda and Anne will gradually get a new look and new animations. I think there's a chance you might see a few concept art sketches of this stuff pretty soon...! So exciting! Can't wait to see how they turn out! But, umm... Anne? You just said Anne... Did I? Haha yeah! Does that mean she'll appear soon? Umm... We'll see! There's a pretty good chance Anne may soon be reunited with the other Soul Riders so they can eventually reform their group in its entirety... Marcus, we know you're busy developing the game and we should really let you get back to work, but we want to ask you about the lead characters in Star Stable. Will we get to know more about them? We got some new background on Alex in the latest story quests, after all... Yes! We plan to give you all a lot more back-story around these important characters. We think it's really important for the players to learn as much as they can about the Soul Riders and that it's fun to get more info about them as well as about Jorvik in general. Before you go, one last question. You said ages ago that there'd be some kind of nail salon function coming to the game. We haven't seen anything yet, so we're wondering what's happened to that idea? Oh yeah! Umm. Nails. Yeah. So... James was supposed to open a manicure studio in Fort Pinta, but I don't actually know what happened to it... He must've messed it up as usual! I think we should try and open one up in the Mall instead in the near future, and make sure James has got nothing to do with it! Wow so much stuff, I'll work through it in order.
I am very sad to say that a few nights ago North Trackers disbanded. It disbanded because Liv felt she couldn't do it anymore and when she was offered a place in The Enigmas, well it seemed perfect. TE doesn't know me very well, therefore, I can't join, yet. I tried to find a club and I found this very small (5 member) club However, on Friday, me and the owner talked about moving the club to Fast Tide, a new club in need a members, like us, but was already bigger. After much stress of getting us all there I am now in Fast Tide and I hope to have a good time there and make new friends. It is hard to start from the bottom of a club again, haha, but it will do me good. And maybe one day I will be able to join TE
Yay! Lead ropes have finally come! I was never part of the lead rope army, but I still think they looks pretty cool, so yes, I brought one. I quite like lead ropes, but I did find them a bit odd to control. Has anyone else found that it is hard to go in a straight line? But I am more excited for the story quests!
Story quests will be out on the 23rd of December! I am so excited, I hope it will reveal to us GED HQ. I am admired with the Lightning Circle already so I am ready and excited for it.
So in this episode we found out:
I am finally level 18! Lots of my friends got it before me and I started to get a bit worried, thank you Star Stable for giving lots of xp this week!
Have you seen the Star Stable Christmas merchandise? I, personally, would like one in my stocking this year! Who is with me! They have a Polo and a Shirt (can be brought in blue, pink or white), the old Star Coins and Lifetime cards and the super sweet pillowcase! I would love to own one of these three things!
Okay so last time I updated you see I was in Frosty Roses? Well Frosty Roses moved over to Unicorn Forest as they wanted a break from being a "big popular club" and just wanted to be a family. I would love to follow them, however, I have too many friends on Cupcake Valley just to pack up and leave them. Frosty Roses you remain always a part of my heart... So which club am I in now? North Trackers! My very good friend Liv Oaknight owns it and I am excited to call myself a Tracker! There are so many new people to meet and rest assured I will not be leaving for a while (unless you count when I press leave by mistake)! Learn more about them at www.ssont.weebly.com
Epona is coming soon! I hope it really is soon! It looks so good: They have confirmed that Leap Ropes will be coming in December! So the new areas that I am soon to be exploring are (in Hannes own words) There’s the cute suburban town of New Hillcrest, the spooky Mirror Marshes, and the sleepy little Crescent Moon Village amongst other places. Fort Maria is still mysteriously locked up though, and no member of the public has been there for years. There’s a story going round that anybody who ever makes it over the walls and into the Fort is never seen again…!
I can't wait!! Hopefully we will have to unlock FM! Right what else? There’s a whole heap of new characters and families for you to get to know, and have you ever thought about how the Bobcat Girls might somehow be the only riding club on an island full of horses? Well, let’s just say they’re not alone! Exciting new quests are going to advance you along in the GED branch of the Star Stable story, where there are all the twists, turns, surprises and new faces you’ve come to expect in Jorvik! Omg what? Another race team and GED! Open the new area now! Today Star Stable said that there is now a brand new star coin system. I think from this you can tell the game is changing, a lot. But hey, some people will get a nice present?
Recently more and more Games Masters have been coming on. A games master is someone who works for Star Stable. When you see them they have to words Game Master (and their name). They speak in yellow writing, you cannot friend them or ignore them. They will never ask for your account details either. Games Master Siri and Zelda Been away for a week now! I really will be missing my lovely home stable, placed right in the centre of Jovick, Steves.
Oh my life. Oh my gosh. Hannah Winterwright you are amaizing. She got me a Lifetime Star Rider. Here is the amaizing girl: Here I am showing off my new clothes |
