Hip hip hooray! The sim is really rolling now! Horses will be transferred over from RVEC as soon as possible, and the bank is officially up and going! Just give me a few minutes to get everything linked to where it needs to be and then we'll be good to go ^^
I do want to mention one more thing! Registered names are now a part of RVEC, and I'm very excited for this new feature. In order for your horse to have a registered name, you must have it registered with an association. That association will be the horse's "primary association," which will be listed and linked to under his or her information. While the horse can easily join other associations, their primary association is the most important one, and as such it should be the best association available to that horse, ideally a breed or sport/stock horse association unless the horse is not purebred. The prestige of the association should play a factor in the value of the horse, such that a horse without a registered name is essentially like a horse without papers, a horse that is registered at an association without standards is like a horse registered with a grade horse association, and a horse that is registered at a registry that is difficult to be accepted into is like a horse registered with an elite breed association. Additionally, a registered name cannot be changed by anyone once it has been registered, so that if you ever decide to sell your horse and they change the show name, your registered name will still be on the horse. However, that also means that misspellings can't be fixed, so make sure that the name you want is the name you put! Registered names must be applied to on the association topics themselves and then added to the horse's main topic, not the other way around. Registered names are also totally unique and cannot be copied by any other users.
So! What do you guys think about that? Excited? I know I am!
