An interview with horsekitty by red_chick94:
Hi horsekitty – it’s great to do an interview with you. What do you think of the interview scheme so far?
• I enjoy reading the various interviews you have posted in your forum, they give great insight as to what a player stands for and a little about their beginnings on the game.
When joining Howrse for the first time, did you just click with the game or did it take a while to get used to?
• When I first joined, things were radically different. The atmosphere was much more friendly than it is today, so naturally, someone came to my aid when my ship began to sink. So, with help from one person, I caught on within two weeks !
On Howrse, who do you PM the most?
• I don't normally PM players without a specific point, such as buying something from them, but plenty of players PM me looking to chat. Excluding the few I enjoy chatting with, I don't return these messages mainly because I don't have enough time to.
You have many divine horses. Can you tell us how many you have and how you got these divines?
• I've got one of each Divine. I earned my Xanthos from a card pack back in 2008. I bought all the Snows I have thru pass packs. My Croesus I won from the Achievements (he was one of the first 110 on the game.). My first Sleipnir and Falabella I won from killing almost 150 pass horses during the pass horse contest. Each Mist I have I bought from pass packs. The rest I just collected over time - not without great price though!
You are currently 30th in the general rankings, 10th in wealthiest breeders, 24th in number of horses owned and 190th for EC’s. Do you wish to gain higher on these?
• Well, after attaining my goal of 3rd in wealth (2nd if it weren't for a key sequence of events !), I decided to go after a higher general ranking. I'm actively attempting to reach the top 10 in the general ranking, and there's currently a small fluke with my EC...I've let in too many low skilled horses! I'll have to fix that soon
You have the Pegasus bonus feature – what is your favourite thing about it and what is your least favourite thing?
• Hmm, my favorite thing about the Pegasus Account is the price. It's extremely reasonable and worth it for anyone with more than 200 horses, or someone who wants to advance in their game.
You’ve been on Howrse for many days, so you have for sure seen major changes occur. When Howrse had the major update, ages ago, and the horses images changed etc, where you happy with the new look?
• When Howrse moved into V2, it was a shock how much more ergonomic the game had become. Most of the subsequent updates since then have been greatly beneficial to the game. As for the horse graphics, I can say that the newest graphics look absolutely stunning! They have the most detail, and are by far my favorite.
Do you use the exchanges? If so, have you caught any bargains in there?
• Of course! During the first week, there was a fluke unto which every player could accept an unlimited number of exchanges. It goes without saying I participated heavily those few days! I picked up some great deals, but I also made some mistakes in determining what people were asking and what they were giving.
On average how many pm’s do you get a day?
• On a normal day I get more or less 2-3 pages of incoming messages, which comes out to be 100-150 received messages a day. I answer around 3/4 of them.
What is your favourite Howrse in your farm and why?
• My favorite horse is most certainly my Grey Sleipnir! His coat just looks so nice!
What's your greatest achievement on Howrse? (Thanks to miamaya for her question!)
• My greatest achievement is certainly when I won my Croesus from the Achievements. I was one of the extra 10 who were given a Croesus thanks to an error in the game.
Do you regret doing anything on Howrse? Selling a really great horse? Selling your first horse? etc? (Thanks to miamaya for her question!)
• Do I regret anything? I'd like to say no, but we all know how human nature is
When you log onto Howrse, what’s the first thing you do?
• I take time to read each message I receive, and finalize any business that needs to be taken care of.
Do you participate in the grand prix?
• Usually, no, but my gut tells me I need to be in the top 100 for this coming week's Prix, which is why I bought a very expensive set of Prix horses!
There are plenty of ideas in the ideas forum. If you could choose one of these to have done now, which one would it be and why?
• Rather than choose one to be done right now, I'd rather chose one that is not permitted to be posted in the ideas forum - A new Divine idea, or one that gives Divines out like candy !
Which one of these items are most useful to you... turnips or aging points?
• Aging points, most definitely!
If you could be any animal, what would it be and why? (Thanks to alphabet_soup for the question!)
• I'd be a Sleipnir. Who doesn't love a Sleipnir?
Do you prefer kitties or horses? (Your name!)
• Horses !
And finally... if you had the Hermes' Winged Staff..what would you do with it?
• I had four Hermes' Staff prior to the lottery, and bought one during the lottery, so now I have 5. I save them, because - prior to the lottery - they were worth much more than any item in the Black Market. I assume I'll continue to do that until they are worth something more than that!
