Altererd horses with closed genes can now be sold via the public auction house

    When I completely closed sharing of new genes we were still trying to figure out what was going to work best. Nexus and the lower number ice genes have shown that we can can have a healthy market sharing altered horses via the public auction house.

    • This change lets those who can not afford closed genes to be still own and enjoy them, even if they still can't breed them themselves.
    • It also allows those who purchase the gene to make some money from sales on it if they so choose. It is nice to let people have some return on investment, and some incentive to breed super pretty fantasy horses.
    • Since no one call sell intact horses to those who do not own the gene, the closed genes will never spread into the general population and dilute the value of intact horses.


    • No one but the original breeder can unalter or clone a horse, so there is no concern that a purchased altered horse will become an intact horse.
    • There may be some initial price spike but nexus and ice sales have proven prices will stay reasonable on these altered horses.
    • I will be adding some additional safeguards to prevent accidental breeding or intact horse sales via buddy chat/breeding lab since I expect some people to think that owning a gelding means you are allowed to breed the gene. :-w
    • These safeguards are not yet in place, please keep up the good work you have done so far in making sure you don't sell to those who do not own foundations with the gene.

    I would think that you've been pretty clear that only people with foundation horses that have said genes are allowed to breed those said genes. However, it would be best to have safeguards in place to prevent any slip ups.
