Custom Breed Questions
  • Hello all!

    I'm a new member and plan on upgrading to a basic account. I have some questions about the custom breed name you get as a perk.

    How does this breed 'work'? What horses get the breed name applied? Are only horses bred by me eligible to be this breed, or will all purebred offspring keep the breed name?

    Also, will anything happen to the breed if my account goes back to unpaid status?

    Apologies if this has been covered before, if so I can't seem to find it.

    Thanks for all your help!
  • Hi! I can't answer all your questions, but I do know all the horses you breed or create will carry your breed name. Even if you breed your horse to one up for stud/brood, the offspring will have your breed name. Make sure you choose something that is not a real English word.
    I dont know what happens if your account loses the upgrade though.

  • I would imagine that the horses you had already bred while you had the Basic upgrade would retain your breed name, but any horses that you create or breed if you lose it would not have it. However, it would probably remain in game memory, so if you could upgrade at a future date, horses bred after that date would have the breed name.

    If someone purchases one of your horses with your breed name, any horses they breed using it will get their own breed name, not yours.

    Every one who has chosen a breed name for their account has to have something that was never used before. I base my breed names here and in my HaJ1 account on Norwegian and German for Sandy Creek. Sandbuktian here and Bachsandigan in HaJ1.

    You could use something like Bausonian, which is based on an archaic word for badger. *G* I found that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badger

  • Thanks Clearwater!

    On a related note, just upgraded and tried to set a breed name... I keep getting the error "contains a field other than a letter or is too short".

    I've tried a couple different names, english characters only for the foreign ones, and it's always the same thing. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
  • Thanks for the info SandyCreek! I'm hoping it's like you say, I would hate for my membership to lapse and all my previous horses loose their name, lol

    And thanks for the suggestion! I tried "Barsuk" (russian for Badger and one of my go-tos!) but it's not accepting it. Do you know if there's a way to search for breed names that are in-use?
  • What breed names are you trying to use? That might give us an idea of why it is giving you the error.

  • Don't use any symbols; no commas, apostrophes, dashes, accents, etc. You also can't have 2 words, so no spaces.

  • I've tried Barsuk, Wupamo, Kachina, and Sugarjack to start.
  • I’m assuming you are capitalizing the first letter when you put it in. Not sure why Barsuk etc isn’t working. Sugarjack may not work since those are both common English words.

  • I am having the same problem. Every Spanish or french word I try is working. I get the same error messages.
  • Sounds like one of you needs to post a bug report.
    Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms
  • I posted a bug report.
  • I'm having the same problem! Trying to use "Genevistic" which isn't a real word as far as I'm aware. :)

    Speaking of bug reports, where do you go to file one? I wonder if there's any sort of place we can search bugs or add a "me too" comment.
  • I found the bug discussion. I should have LOOKED harder before asking the question. Sorry!
  • LOL! Welcome Ginger! Post a 'Hi, I'm here' thread and I'll send you the list of helpful links that I made!
