What Determines Extra % Pay for IV Barns?
-
I recently noticed on the IV Shopping page that it mentions what percentage extra you have to pay on IV Purchase Barns. It increased from 0% to 1% to 3% to 6% to 9% for me with my last few barn purchases.
What determines this percentage? Is it number of barns or is it number of stalls?
I have about 1200 non-primary stalls, but I have a lot of barns for that number of stalls, as I prefer to have my horses sorted into smaller groups, so I was wondering if I should rethink how I have my barns/stalls set up -
its the number of stalls ( and pasture spaces ) whether or not the stall is full they count towards your total non primary :)
-
Ok so it is the number of stalls? Does the percentage start to increase after you hit 1000 non-primary stalls?
-
I honestly dont remember when they start to increase, but they do progressively get higher :)
-
It does not include pasture space. It starts after the first thousand non-primary barn stalls.Need to contact me? Read this first.
I sometimes get busy and miss things. If your private message, question, etc. gets missed please ping me so I can follow up with you. I am also always happy to explain or clarify. (HAJ does not have a customer service email, please send me a forum message! )

Thanks!

What does it represent, the increasing cost of what? (I'm not sure I can explain my question better.)
-
The increasing cost of buying barns with IVs.Breeding high quality Sheldasen horses in all the fancy colors.

I'll try again.
What's the real world situation that this mimics? What happens on a real show stables that increases the cost of the barns by 322% (for example) -
I don't know if this is a real world one. Members with big big barns end up puttong a strain on the game, so I thought this was put in to keep players from getting too huge. I can no longer purchase any barns with IVs (over 10,000 stalls).
-
I don't think that was meant to mimic a real-world situation. Rather, I believe the point is to make it a bit more fair for all players. As your game stables grow to include more and more show horses, earning points and hbs, your income increases and it becomes easier to afford more expensive items in the game. If barn prices remained the same, no matter how many stalls your had, larger stables could become exponentially larger, making things harder on smaller stables, as well as creating more of a tax on the servers. It's an equalizing/balancing feature.
-
I don't think this particularly was meant to mimic the real world, though I could be wrong. I think it was meant to slow the otherwise exponential growth of large stables that could fill the new barn with show horses which brings in more income making the next barn affordable faster. The percentage increase in price makes the rate of growth more steady and linear rather than exponential. Though I suppose, the increase could be like property taxes? ;)
-
Right, it's because of the impact on the game that the larger stables have. More horses mean more space on the server.
But in real life, larger barns would mean more staff, more land, more infrastructure etc. So it's not entirely unrealistic lolStarstruck2 on Bluegrass and Forest
