I find the game comforting. I had so much trauma as a kid. My mom made me give up my bedroom for my selfish aunt and bratty cousin. The cousin broke my stuff, called me names, and touched me inappropriately. But my mom said to "be the more mature person" because he was younger than me. My mom also let my dad verbally abuse me. I was bullied alot in school. I had a class where all the kids bullied me and the teacher did nothing. As an adult I don't know how many times I've been hospitalized for suicide ideation. But when I play this game, my mood lifts a bit. The memories aren't so painful. I've also been a horse kid at heart. I had loved horses ever since I was a kid, this game touches an interest i have long forgotten. For those with a traumatic past, does this game give you comfort? Or did it keep you grounded while you were going through something traumatic?

I hardly do them unless I'm coincidentally at that location. I also tend to do them late at night or really early in the morning. Higher chance for a ribbon lol.

My dad has been gambling since he was a teenager, and my mom tried to get him to stop. When I was a kid I didn't know that he had a problem until maybe I turned about 12, he would steal money from me. His car always had wallets full of powerball tickets. And he was mean, if he wasn't gambling he would get verbally abusive. He would play poker all night at the bar, and when he got home he would play poker on the computer. On his days off he would play poker online and not play with me. His gambling caused the house to get foreclosed. My mom was angry about it, but she didn't leave him. We moved to a rental house and he still gambled. When I was about 16 my brother died of complications with his cerebral palsy. He was 22. My dad gambled away the life insurance money. All my mom did was lecture him that he had a problem. I hated my dad. But honestly? I hate my mom more. She enabled him and didn't leave him despite his gambling putting us in financial ruin. She always complained that she was a victim and that she didn't know. But she did know he was an addict. I feel like had she left him, maybe it would have made him want to change. Maybe not, but if it didn't at least we wouldn't had to be dragged down with him. I'm now 31 and live alone, my mom died when I was about 18 or 19. I cut off all contact with my dad years ago, and sometimes I wonder if he's still gambling. I feel like he probably is now that he doesn't have a family holding him back. I hate it when other family tells me to reach back out to him and that he loves me, but I don't care if he does or not. Because he obviously didn't love me enough to stop gambling. But like I said, I blame my mom the most. She knew she was an addict, but she still decided to marry him, have kids with him, and trust him with the mortgage. And when we lost everything she still stayed with him and let him abuse me.

They have Nottsoren which are also moth/butterfly horses.

I'm doing a quest where you have to find star stones but all it does is show you the location through the telescope. It doesn't mark it on the map. I also did a treasure hunt quest where you have to find clues and the green exclamation mark didn't show up on the map.

I'm doing the Marchenghast quests and I'm loving it so far. But I hate how you need to keep your lantern lit while exploring the forest. Does the Blight get cured when you complete the storyline?

At first I thought our riders were young adults. But apparently we're pre-teens or teenagers? Why the heck are we doing stuff like building bridges in the game? 😱

Will the stable care girl always be Maya regardless of where the stable is? I feel like each location should have their own stable care girl.

Someone invited me to a group. I tried talking to them but they didn't respond. We ran a few tracks and then they just logged off. Why invite someone to group if you're not going to talk?

I was surprised at how big they were. I had to break them in pieces to eat with my triscuits.

I like to collect clothes and organize them. And I worry that the wardrobe will get full.
