Posted December 9, 2018 Winter Snow Foals A friend has just given me a wonderful gift! A baby appaloosa girl called RockEbony, just born. Her parents EastSouth and NorthSwift, were brown, and white. Here she is making friends with HappyHill after a tiring overland trip. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2018 I found a wild one too today: Grats on the appaloosa, they are by far my favs from the chosen colors. (My real fav was the dapple grey, which unfortunately wasn't chosen.) 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I would have chosen one to ride. Here's an old English Nursery Rhyme: Dapple Grey I had a little pony, His name was Dapple Grey, I lent him to a lady, To ride a mile away. She whipped him, she lashed him, She rode him through the mire; I would not lend my pony now, For all the lady's hire. Which just goes to show how precious our animals are to us, and how we must treasure them whilst we have them, whatever their size or colour, even if it is possible that some other people might not feel the same way.

Posted December 9, 2018 I loved the dapple greys too... And the lady in the poem is awful! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2018 They are all super cute! I have not had the luck of a new colour baby yet, just lots of previous colours, grey horsies and lots of horsies with one random trait other than speed traits. Some of those random traits are bad traits, which in Wurm terms are good traits since you can genesis them out. The other "good" traits are just messing up all your future breeding plans so the horsies inevitably end up being set aside, never to be used again. I guess the RNG is strong within me :P The new unicorn colours are so cute though, I am focusing on those - still need a yellow and a lilac one. I remember as a noobie that the ultimate end game was a fleet of multi colour unicorns. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) New adorable floof! Dogfancy was born yesterday, and with some attention from a GM (thanks Logi!) is new a pretty skewbald girl. Her mum is Pearlmac (ebony) and her dad is Donndubhan (skewbald). Edited December 14, 2018 by olafhairybreeks 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) RockEbony is a big girl today, maybe now she'll leave that barrel alone I think she has the right name, she reminds me of a rocky road ice-cream...mmm...ice-cream! Edited December 16, 2018 by Muse 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2018 Oh my gosh! How did I not notice this thread! Thanks for linking it elsewhere Muse! And a huge congrats to everyone on their lovely babies. I ran out hearts for all the posts (daily limit it seems!). IMPORTANT! If you are experiencing getting more GREY foals than usual (I saw several of you mentioning that), please please respond to this thread so the dev team will look into this more. I know they've already tried, but there are just too many of this noticing this for it to be a fluke or coincidence. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2018 I've had over 70 foals born. WAY higher instance of grays, but not one new color. First round I did my normal breeding of matched pairs. Second round mixed up colors of parents. Not doing another round until this is fixed, since I typically breed and check them once a day. I'd have no way of knowing if some of them were born another color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2018 Is it fixed yet? I still have a Skewbald turned grey... are we doing support tickets again or still waiting it out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were still taking support cases after the last fix but before this current update. Worth doing one I think but suspect they are awful busy at the moment so it may take awhile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2018 I'd say by now definitely do /support. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where in the world are you finding all these wilds??? I've scoured most of the steppes on Xanadu and so far nothing... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2018 Well I've been out on the steppes pretty much every day since the new colours were released. I'm in north east Xan, so I've mainly been checking the steppes there. One of my skewbalds was the direct result of some hunting trips to keep new spawns coming, but the others were just luck. Oh, and spyglasses rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
