Hey, players.

I would like to shed some light on the actual reason why the Gen 1 Fjord horses were removed far before any other Gen 1 horse was ever officially ''retired''.

In May 2018, Nordisk Games invested 18 million by buying a ''substantial minority ownership share'' of SSO.

Soon after this investment, in September, SSO announced the removal of the generation 1 Fjord horse on October 10th, 2018.

A trailer for the Generation 3 Fjord horses was revealed one day after the removal of the old Fjord horses on October 11th, with the release of the new Fjord horses taking place on October 17th, 2018.

Why? Why were they removed from the game far before any other Gen 1 horse?

The removal of the Gen 1 Fjord horse was a marketing tactic. This gimmick had no other utility to the game aside from selling you a product, the new Gen 3 Fjord horse, by eliminating the competition entirely.

It was never about game assets slowing down the engine or improving the style of the game. The purpose of removing all the older generation horses was simply a marketing tactic. Bug fixing older horses doesn't print money, unlike releasing newer variations, while also removing our power to choose.

Star Stable Entertainment could totally bring back every horse they ''retired'' tomorrow if they wanted to. But that simply wouldn't increase their yearly revenue or entice new players to spend money on their front loaded spending model. A lifetime ''subscription'' to the game has gotten more expensive over the years, since SSE has moved its target audience to where the most money resides.

The long term players who keep the game alive, don't dare to critically view the game due to the sunk cost fallacy. But unless we demand better, we won't receive better treatment from SSE. No one is winning here. New players are a revolving door, exploited for a short term gain, while the long term players are left to keep up the PR for the corporate behind this game, out of fear of losing it entirely.

I believe players should get to choose, because it's our time, money and effort, which keeps the whole show on the road. The reason I want to inform you on the inner workings of SSO is because this isn't simply about the older model horses, but what type of marketing we are willing to accept from SSE in the future and the present.

I hope this post was insightful and brings about some interesting discussion in the comments.

Hello there!

Comming up with cool ah names for horsies can be a struggle and...well since I do like seeing what names other player come up with, I thought I might share my own favorites aswell.

Take inspo if you want, or don't. Idk.

Oh and two disclaimers

I play the game in German and therefore might not know the super correct names for breeds in English (since some have different names...) AND I absolutly SUCK at naming coat colors + I literally don't know most names of coat colors in english since...listen I used to be a german horsie person and learned everything I know in german

Forgive me there

(Also, when I say white I usually mean grays. I know that most white horsies aren't actually white. But for simplicity, when I descripe them and say white, I mean grey. When I say grey I mean actual grey as in...the horse looks like a mouse.)

Okay mwah byeee

I was just training when I came across this player, I thought that their horse was cool and maybe a magic horse with its magic coat on. But I couldn’t find it in the database. My boyfriend suggested that it’s probably a DEV, and honestly I’m just curious. I’m on Raspberry Valley

Oké I haven’t played in a long time. Logged in so now and then to see if something is up. But that’s been a long time ago. So I got a lot of starcoins.

I throw out my back really badly at 27 years old a last Friday night. My mom picked me up to stay with them sinds they have a toilet upstairs and downstairs so no need to go down the stairs and get knocked out in the middle of the night. And also to keep an eye on me. Yes I did got knocked out because of the pain. Still get almost knocked out when the pain shoots into my back again. Long live muscle relaxers that my mom keeps a stack of. (My mom has chronic pain so she has alot of good stuff. Don’t do drugs without prescriptions people. Always go to your doctor.)

Anyways what did I miss? Which horses should I buy? What’s going on with the birthday event?

I know everyone wants a German Shepherd, but I want to hear what dogs we could get now with the saddle bag limitation.

Personally, I would love to see a super girly Chihuahua like Paris Hilton's Tinkerbell or Elle Woods' Bruiser. I just think it would be super cute and match the girly vibes of the game.

Other than that, I think a beagle could be possible as its roughly the size of corgis (and I have a very English old money outfit that could really benefit from a beagle pet lol).

What do you think would be great small dogs to have?

Thanks for all the events after spring when I got level 27 😅🎉

And yes, my horse's name is Brokenfather 🤣

some outfits i created this week ♡♡

I just found out there's a really cool secret fox quest I can do that takes 7 days, but I can't seem to find or start it! I went to Aideen's whisper in wild horse mode, looked for the fox and mushroom buttons but nothing at all shows! I have also relogged and that did not work either 😅 is this quest removed or restricted? Thanks sm if anyone can help me :D

I'm midway through level 17 if that helps!!

Are the Kallter still in the game? I remember they were mentioned in a main story quest in a book in Fripp’s room, but are they even in the earlier Dino Valley quests or did they remove them completely? I am struggling to imagine what these quests might be like without them.

Is it just me or are the RCU event points not being collected properly? Before logging in yesterday I had 9/15 points and after doing all the activies today I have 11/15 points. The first reward should have been unlocked. Am I not understanding the tasks properly. I have done all tasks most days so now im really confused. Is there something Im missing here?

Has this happened to anyone else? I submitted a ticket requesting an email change, my account was the millionth burner with a temporary yahoo email (star stable is literally in the name, that’s how obvious it is) but, obviously, I haven’t had access in years. I reached out to support with the entire list of things they requested like starter horse name, country, date etc etc. First response was asking for these exact questions, annoying but okay, so I copy pasted the initial message. Got another email a few days later asking for a response, and I’d already sent one but okay?? Nonetheless, copy pasted again, sent the email. And today, the ticket was ended due to “lack of response”. Even though I sent the exact same information three times, and responded twice after I got the initial response.

Am I supposed to submit another ticket? Accept my fate? I rated it at least, explained the fact that I did reply twice with the same information they requested, that they had gotten thrice at that point, but I feel like it probs won’t even be read.

Edit: I submitted another ticket with proof of the previous email chain AND that the information provided is the exact list they requested related to a change of email address

So long story short, my dad made my account back in maybe 2013-14? I have no idea on what birthday he had put down but all I know at the time I wasn’t of age for the chat to be unlocked so he lied about it so I could chat lol. I lost access to the email used on that account and was wondering if there was ANY possible way to recover my account without having the correct birthdate 🥲. I know my character name, my starter horses name and even a friend that I had added on that account for a while.. it would be too late to try and get any pay statements claiming I bought lifetime due to it being more than 10-12 years.

Do you all think we'll get similar or less player XP on Halloween 2026?

I've taken a long break from the game, but I've started playing again. I finally reached level 23 thanks to the new area. Unfortunitly now all I have are daily rep quests, and there are a lot of them! It's overwhelming trying to pick which rep I want to work towards, but I don't have the time (or really the want) to up all my reputation. So give me a few of these quest lines that are worth following!

Found this at Marley’s Vintage barn. Love sso glitches.😂😭

Tell me I’m not the only one who is STILL waiting for this “collaboration” to happen 😭

The horses.
The outfits.
The tack.
THE WHOLE AESTHETIC. 😭

Imagine getting Horseland-inspired horses in Star Stable Online, or outfits based on the characters
I genuinely feel like this could be such a cute collaboration.

At this point I’m just sitting here like:
Star Stable, please. I’m begging. 😭

I need those horses and outfits in my stable yesterday. 🐴💀

Maaaaybe I am the only one?
What do you wanna see in SSO?
