When horses are sent to the archive it checks for living descendants and anyone owning straws/eggs from that horse. This has resulted in a large backlog of horses who have been dead for years but can't clear out because no one is using those straws/eggs. Often because they are in inactive accounts.

If the new system catches a horse with no decedents but does have eggs/straws it will put a 4-year expiration date on those straws/eggs. That means you have 4 seasons to use those straws/eggs up before they vanish.

Thanks Ammit for doing this to improve the game! One question though: is there any way that we could sort the straws/eggs by the time they will expire?
I have quite a lot of straws and eggs so it is hard to see which ones need 'urgent' attention and which ones can wait for some time.
I also noticed that you can only see the expire date on the 'sell a straw/egg' page, not when you want to use a straw. For me personally (as an owner of way too many straws) it would be a great addition if I could see the expire date when I want to use them as well :)

Would this affect straws and eggs for active accounts that want to preserve their old lines? IE, I have straws from beloved foundation stallions that I've hung on to with plans to use them to preserve the sire line. Will those straws disappear too?

Forestshadow, someone asked that question on the Forest server and here is Ammit's answer:

Any horse with an actual living descendent is unaffected by this change. If the line is still actively being bred, I am happy to keep it around.

Whelp, I guess that is some motivation to go through my gigantic stockpile of straws hahahah!

Thanks, LakeOndowa.

I like this idea. I'm sure I have some old straws hanging around that I'm convinced I will use but never do. This is a great thing.

I really like this idea! It actually inspired me to start sorting through my freezer and getting rid of/using the straws and eggs I haven't touched in several game/RL years.
