I am a veteran player, account has existed since early 2015 and I was around for the old graphics and quests. The game is still fun and isn't bad to play, but the direction of it has definitely shifted and is valid to be upset about.The game was originally more targeted towards teens rather than kids, but they changed that a few years ago. This resulted in a lot of quests being removed or adjusted to remove the scarier quest themes or to reduce the grind needed for some story quests that older players experienced. Halloween quests were especially scary, but its been completely watered down. Alongside this, the direction for the story has been completely lost.Making a game about horses to be more kid friendly isn't bad, but its a bit questionable when it comes off as extortive with how pricey it is to pay for the membership and Star Coin packages, which only seem reasonable if you're an adult with a job. Yes they have double star coin weekends which make it seem more reasonable, but marketing your game to kids with high pricing isn't a good look.You can save up for things in-game with the weekly allowance, but its so little (100 per week) compared to the content released, which is mainly horses priced between 800-980. This could easily be solved if they increased the allowance, but right now it just feels like they want to pressure those susceptible to FOMO into spending to get a horse. A pricey pixel horse.Of course if you can afford these things you wouldn't find this an issue, but as I said their audience is now KIDS. Their parents are the one paying for it, sure, but it still doesn't justify the gouged prices when this would be the audience begging for these packages the most.Really the only issue I have with this game now is the direction of the story. They turned it into a typical magical horse journey instead of the mystery that it was before. I really wish they kept the original idea of it intact rather than overriding and not developing it properly as they just ran in circles with it and rush every quest that takes months to even come out.
