I love the quests, searching for items, and the little rush I would get anytime I stumbled upon a wild horse (I have *never* been successful with the Whisperer, it's always been by happen chance I find any wild). When I learned Flash was no longer going to be supported, I restarted my game and came here so I could do as many quests as possible. It's been years since I've been on Lava, Pirate, or Cloud Isles. Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to reach them before the game's imminent demise. I have loved playing this game over the years, in been a place of solace when home life wasn't so great, when I dropped out of school, when friends passed away. I'll miss this game dearly, and I just want to thank Joe and Miranda for pouring their heart and soul into this game. I've never felt anything less from this game, and I appreciate all you have done to keep it running for years.</FORUMTEXT></TD></TR><TR><TD class=forumpost><FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Pinestorm)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Oct 22 2020 8:55am</FORUMDATE><BR><FORUMTEXT>I've been playing since around 2008, and it feels weird to see the game come to an end.

I'm in tears saying goodbye to my pixel ponies and trotting around Earton one last time. My best memory is playing on my aunt's desktop, showing my little sister the fun quests, enjoying a cream soda. That was so many years ago, but I remember the exact same music that was playing. I also remember nervously sweating, because I bid 70k (more than 90% of my savings) on a palomino Hanoverian in a bidding war and was determined to win it. And I did win it, I was so proud!</FORUMTEXT></TD></TR><TR><TD class=forumpost><FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DiamondDiva)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Oct 24 2020 3:29am</FORUMDATE><BR><FORUMTEXT>I've been playing since late 07 and honestly I'm so sad but so grateful its stayed alive for this long. I started on palo and moved to pinto when it started to die down. I luckily managed to keep both accounts alive whilst at university and I've met some wonderful people over the years. I now signed up for HI3 (haven't played yet) but theres something so retro and nostalgic about the set up of HI1 that just kind of feels like home to me. I've seen my fair share of drama, exp races for top and catching epic horses which is just exhilarating. I was never one for questing really because of my patience *laughing out loud!* but my favourite memories will def include my buds. Im a very shy person in real life and overthink ALOT but the fun and jokes we have, questing together, catching wilds and just having a good ol' natter is what I love the most, I'll never forget my buds <33</FORUMTEXT></TD></TR><TR><TD class=forumpost><FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Borealis)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Oct 25 2020 4:35pm</FORUMDATE><BR><FORUMTEXT>I agree with you Diamond, the HI1 structure and graphics were so forgiving, and just simple, but wonderful.

<BR>I learned about RPing here - way back when that was allowed on the forums.

<BR>Working hard on quests and maintaining the top spot - when quests were coming out every month.

<BR>When Cloud & Lava were added. The Whisperer and Pawneer added.

<BR>After restarting my HI journey a couple years ago - I also got my first subscription and found the joy in creating a ranch, endless ponies, and even entering the competition world.

The characters are all so iconic and I'm pretty heartbroken right now to hear the news. Whenever I get back on after a while without playing I still stop by and visit the place where I had my first ever ranch and 'say hi' to my favourite characters. I remember being a kid and wishing my real life was riding horses and doing quests for people. I still wish that, haha. I liked the second game too, but this one just felt so perfect to me. Man, I guess I kind of figured this game would be around forever.

<BR>But I joined back in 2007, and HI1 has been such a constant for me for all of these years. It's amazing how attached I could get to the little pixel ponies <3
|

<BR>My fondest memories are from waaaaay back, when all of my school friends played with me, and we would sit on our desktop PCs and call each other on the landline for hours. I also remember a time that a friend was teasing me in PMs, but accidentally sent a message about the potty dance into global, to widespread hilarity.

<BR>I met my lifetime best friend on this game. For that I will always be thankful.

My sister and I end up playing around the holidays almost every year when I can't be at home and it reminds me of when we were kids.

|
<BR>Thank you so much to Joe, Miranda, all the mods, admins, coders, artists and everyone involved in the making and maintaining of this game over the past few years. It meant a lot to have a place I could sort of 'come home to' as a kid when things were rough. And looking back now, it was especially important to have a space where it was safe to be a kid on the internet... where we could just have fun and nerd out on horse stuff.

|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>I don't think anyone would be able to understand the impact this game had on me at the time young life.
|
|
<BR>I was 12 when I started playing this game, over 10 years ago.
|
|
<BR>I started on the Palomino server as HorsesRuleMe. I made so many incredible friends and more importantly, this kept my heartwrenching love of horses alive.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>I was never someone that could ride often or had their own horse. And this game has a beautiful community of people that have definitely got me through the worst times of my life.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>I'm sitting here thinking of all the hours, days, late nights I spent playing this game. I'm thinking of all the friends I made from this game, the friends I got to go to coffee with as a result of this game.
|
|
<BR>So HI - thank you. Thank you if you are reading and we never spoke, thanks if were friends, thank you if you ever saw my username pop up on your screen. Thank you for over 10 years of wholesomeness, love, and friendship. I have no doubt this game contributed to me still being here, and as dramatic as that sounds, I believe it with all of me.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>Finally, thank you, Miranda, and Joe. You created something really beautiful here, and I know we are just people on the internet but we see and love the work you did here.

<BR>

<BR>With love,

I honestly made some of the best friends, worked my way through my most cringe 'xD' phase, and somehow after 12 years and on my second account (unfortunately after my first one timed out) manage to make my way back on once and awhile even with a demanding schedule with school and work.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>My most prominent memories probably include that one time I changed my username from Yahoo to Bing, and my buddies hated it SO much I changed it back probably within a week (hahah), taking turns with my sister, who played on Dun, on our desktop computer, and that one time I got in trouble with my mom because I wanted to play so bad I snuck out of bed and she caught me playing on the computer at like 12am.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>Honestly it's weird to admit how a horse game was such a pivotal part of my childhood, and even adulthood, but it really, truly is so bittersweet to say goodbye. I'm not ready now, and probably won't be when the time comes. Unsure of how I will spend my free-time now when I don't have HorseIsle 1 to escape to (HI2 and HI3 just don't hit the same).

<BR>I can't even begin to say how incredibly grateful I am to Miranda and Joe, as well as the countless friends I have made over the years.

I really got back into the game when I started college when I was feeling lonely and stuck in my dorm. I made lots of friends and lifelong memories on here. When I first started I would go through the auto list and go and hunt down any that were under 10k so I could sell them at the pawneer to make money. I remember the thrill of catching my first 99er, of finally walking on Lava and then Pirate and finally Cloud, the wall of blue chats filling my screen when trying to do the jungle caves, of throwing rotten tomatoes at buds, anticipating beauty competition results. This game and my buds got me through the hardest time in my life. Without it, I don't know if I could have gotten through it. It has made me laugh, it has made me cry, it gave me a break from the real world, and it has given me lifelong friends.

<BR>
|
|
<BR>This game has nothing like it and it makes me tear up knowing its last day is near. It's simple yet beautiful. I actively play and love HI3 but its not the same as HI1.

I still wonder all the time what happened to some of my old buds. And I'm gonna miss how nice it felt to be able to log in every few months and see familiar names, people I grew up with, even if we hadn't been buds. I met my best friend in RL on here, Werewolf.

<BR>I'm holding my breath hoping they'll sink in the time to bring HorseIsle back. If not... it's been an absolute pleasure growing up with you guys, and it's been an honour to get to know you all.

I remember googling how to spell words I didn't know so that I wouldn't look silly. I remember not having buds until somebody in all chat asked if anybody liked a certain book series, and I made so many friends through that, and now I've had so many buds come and go through the years that have touched my life. I've also always loved questing, so much so that I was one of those people who offered to do caves with people because I just enjoyed doing them so much. This game introduced me to MMOs and helped me come out of my shell. I remember laughing when I did a quest in Shellton and realized there were references to Firefly, and I've always wondered how many other references are hidden about in the world. This game has so many cherished memories I will never forgot. I hope some way some how it can be saved, but I understand why it's come to this especially with the hacking that has been happening.

It reminds me of the old Gameboy games but online and with horses and much more appealing graphics. I came back when I lost my job earlier this year because I had so much more free time. It is so sad that idiots keep attacking the servers and have brought it down. I am so thankful for all the enjoyment and that the game was kept going past it being profitable.</FORUMTEXT></TD></TR><TR><TD class=forumpost><FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Mackatarina)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Dec 7 2020 1:27pm</FORUMDATE><BR><FORUMTEXT>I made this account just so I could post. I started playing Horse Isle in 2007, when I was a little girl OBSESSED with horses. I begged my mom for time on her computer every day to play my horse game. Every time I went to someone's house I would log in to my account to show them my horses. My love for the game continued for ten years, and once I got a career and a spouse I just didn't have time for it anymore. Horse Isle was such an integral part of my childhood to the point where I am getting choked up as I type this out at work.

<BR>This game has given me so many friends, a place of refuge when I was an awkward teenager figuring out my role in the world, and a ridiculous amount of comfort and happiness. Thank you for everything, guys <3</FORUMTEXT></TD></TR><TR><TD class=forumpost><FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Arbiter)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Dec 13 2020 6:40am</FORUMDATE><BR><FORUMTEXT>The nostalgia hurts. I met some AMAZING friends on here, some that I still keep in touch with in other ways. I was obsessed with horses and spent SO much time. Never got to see Cloud Isle, or Pirate Isle. Spent all my time enjoying the world with my friends, getting banned, or making general chaos. Chestnut was my home, and I joined back in 2009, I believe? I'm having a hard time coming to with all of this, thinking that I won't be able to come back and talk to my oldest friends who still play around every now and then, or whisper to get my old glory-days horses back on my new account.

<BR>However, I knew once HI2 went live that it was only a matter of time. We lost people. So many. I'm surprised it stayed up this long, long enough for me to return to it and bid it a final farewell. I'm completely holding my breath on the off-chance that they will put in the time and bring HI1 back, throw some advertisements out and really let us bring back the original to it's full glory.

<BR>If not, then I really do want to thank y'all for my childhood,for the memories made, and for the friendships I've made along the way. As cheesy as it sounds, this game helped me out a lot in terms of growing me as a person. Thank you.

The people I met on this game have been some of my best friends. I have made amazing memories on this game and I will never forget that. I wished that this game could continue on so younger generations could have a wonderful alternate world to escape into just like I did during hard times. I sure hope this isn't the end.

<BR>I restarted a new account last year due to quarantine and was able to reconnect with so many of my old friends - countless memories and people who have supported me through all of the big steps - graduating college, getting married...I've met some of my best friends through this game and that is something I won't ever forget.

<BR>I have played this {for a long time.} I have gone through a few user names but in the last 5 years or so I really have grown my friends circle and have made some lifelong friends in this game. I will miss all of you and the good times we have had. goodbye Horseisle thanks for the memories.
