An Announcement

Given some time to process the news, I just want to say thank you all for the memories.

Ev has been my sim home since 2014, and would have been sooner if I had found it before then. I've made so many lifelong friends here, both as a player and as a moderator throughout the years. Even during times where I've had to step away for a bit, I can't help but linger in the background.

It hurts to see that development is coming to a close, I completely understand that some people may not want to stick around after this news post, though I appreciate everyone who is wanting to keep it alive as long as possible.

Thank you all for being a wonderful and supportive community. It's been a pleasure to be a part of and I hope I continue to see your friendly faces in years to come, be it here or elsewhere ♥

This is sad news. I understand where you are coming from and strongly recommend maybe considering other options. If you were to lease the rights to a larger game host, you may be able to get more involvement. It's hard to tell because for years other horse games show up on Facebook all the time, but I have never once seen people talk about equiverse. Maybe as a community the players need to change this ;). Prayers it stays up for a long time and gets a new flame.

Thank you to all who have held this game down.

I'm sorry to hear this.

This game is a sacred gem of nostalgia.

I'm currently on fall break but please don't take this simulator away I love this simulator the way it is. But after fall break I will come back to this game and it is only two weeks that I won't be on for. I will try to get some people to start playing this sim when I return.

Oh man, this news is soo hard to hear. I really didn't see this coming at all, especially with the new updates. I've been playing the game for years and I'll be playing until the bitter end. I hope that end is very far away.

Thank you for creating this game ♥ it has truly has been a great experience.

So sad to hear this. I’ve played EV since 2011 and have loved watching it develop and grow. I found this game shortly after my prior sim closed. Although it’s not the news I wanted to hear, I appreciate the heads up. There’s nothing worse than hoping to go home to your sim and finding it gone.

Abbey and River thank you so much for all that you’ve done for the game. Additional thanks to Maple for being a constant presence on the forums. Always grateful for what you and all the mods have done to keep the community a friendly place. Here’s hoping the remaining time is pleasant and that the game continues on ♥

Thank you for all the fun years! I was 10 when I first started playing this game, and it was the reason that I had my first (and so far only :P) horse riding lesson. If that one small experience was all EV had done for me I'd be happy, but it's also provided me with hours and hours of entertainment and some lovely chats with people.

I hope that info on the running costs of EV is revealed at some stage, a lack of future updates isn't an issue at all for me but the uncertainty of if EV will run out of money in a month or five years isn't ideal.

Anyway, thanks for a decade (and hopefully more) of fun!

This is very sad news indeed.

While I feel this was probably preventable and could still be remedied so that EV could thrive, it is what it is. Players have been making suggestions to improve the game for years and you get out of something what you put into it. With very few updates to the game and nowhere near the amount of work put into it in recent years as you see with other games, this was probably inevitable. Still, it will be sad if the game someday vanishes completely.

I've Read everyone's Comments and I was about to cry! This is SO Unfortunate! I've been playing this since 7th-8th grade and now I'm a freaking Junior in High School Also! So I've been playing this for a coming up 6 years (11/20/21 Is when i started). I hadn't been so active lately bc of freaking school. And I loved this game FROM DAY 1! The community of Teens and Adults here are so nice! This is is for River and Abbey, You two were the best people providing ALL OF THE UPDATES ever since it released 18 years ago!! I hope this game does not die out in the coming years! I hope we get a new Moderator who is nice just like River was! I feel that this is inevitable and sad! But I REALLY Hope that everyone still sticks around along with this game!!! GOD BLESS THIS GAME AND THE MODS!!!!!

I hope someone replies to this! :)

thank you for everything, abbey & mods.
as a player of 12 years, it has been a blessing being able to create such wonderful relationships and connections through Equiverse. you guys have catered to the players as much as you can. unfortunately, all great things must come to an end.
we appreciate you more than you know. i'm sure many of us will hover around.
take care ?

I actually JUST found out this game was even a thing. I have longed for the developers of LD to make a horse game and it actually existed all along.

I truly hope this game kicks up again, the art and site is just beautiful and from what I have seen, so are the people.

I hope people continue to buy credits and such to keep this site going, I know that when I am able to, I definitely will be doing so ! Hopefully this game can become active again as far as updates and such. I am definitely going to be sharing it around to anyone looking for a 2D horse game !

And here's me just joining the game ;(

I'll happily continue to play though

When i read it, i try to understand, what going on. I know i write to late, but i understand now...

I'm focus on playing in 2023 year and don't see it, but i can't cry, because when i start play this game, be more interested and now i start make report of my horses, i don't know for what's. Just for a one year, this game gift me, maybe happy emotions. I'm always be remember my horses, if game closed. I'm want more try here like a breeding of horses, but i will pray that game won't be closed to fast.

(And i don't want heard that word "Close" it's more scary me)

Abbey, thank you for keeping EV up all this time. My first ever horse sim game was Horseland and when that changed I went on the hunt for another home and tried so many other games. When I found EV it was more than finding the perfect horse sim, this website changed me (for the better I hope lol) and allowed me to grow into who I am today. I haven't been on in a couple years because life got crazy and I might not be able to come on all the time but I am going to come on every time I can until the end. Thank you to all my wonderful friends on here, and again Thank you Abbey.

I just got the game yesterday nd in this made me sad. I can ask some of my friends to join it ( they probably will knowin how much they missed me when I left a diff game I had)

(If you want me to)
