Both DFP1 and 2 were orginally released as " limited" genes I think, DFP1 is still an Orange gene and 2 is still Purple which limits them for breeding as well as sales.

@cavalynn, sell non licensed yet purchase only gene horses? I don't understand

I mean, orange genes don't require a license, but they also aren't available for game cash, they're purchase only. So new players might be willing to pay more than the horse is worth just to get the gene.

Orange genes are higher value because we have to pay actual money for them. Sure you can buy them in game for game credits, but that's like...2x a year maybe?

But I don't understand how taking it to a chat room prevents a player from 'scamming' another member?

But DFP1 is fairly common now, and we haven't had a gene added to the game in a really long time. So maybe the orange gene rules are outdated?

I get Fiddlers frustration, I've said it before that those restrictions take away from peoples ability to actually search for our horses. And the forum search function doesn't work well enough to search specifically for a DFP1 stud.

CheshireFarms - It's as simple as you have not played the game long enough to have seen it firsthand. The public sales board has always been the only place that has caused issues. By the time a member is savvy enough to be talking to other members, and know how to use private sales or own one of their own they tend to be savvy enough to know what makes a good horse. Public sales are the only problem child.

Sometimes genes drop off the orange list over time. But no orange genes as a concept are not outdated. We have them BECAUSE we had/have a problem that they control.


And no you don't always have to pay USD for them. Orange status has nothing to do with that. The only restriction is you can't put them for public sale because they have or have the high potential to cause these issues.

I think DFP1 could be safe to come down from orange status. It's not fantasy so maybe it won't seem as shiny to new players. Although, S+ isn't fantasy and I remember when I started out, I would have paid anything for any horse with S+. It was just impossible for me to get for so long. It's weird to think because I'm swimming in it now.

well me too!
