I know Budweiser's already made one, so mods, please delete this is I'm not allowed to, but I thought it might be nice to give another guide, as everyone does things differently. Again, please delete if this is not allowed. I'm not sure if this is spamming....? Maybe. If it is then I would like this to be deleted. Thanks. Horses:
§ Repair all your tack items with one click You can buy credits with real money or with in-game money. Art: I bet you know what art is. Here’s some stuff I copy and pasted from the Help Center about art: What are tags and signatures? Tags and signatures are images a Deluxe member can display on their account. Basic members can choose from a set of default tags to use, but cannot use a custom tag or a signature. A tag will be shown in the sidebar, listed next to your name in the online members list, and shown on your forum posts. A signature, however, will only be displayed on your forum posts due to its size. Correct tag dimensions are 150x150 pixels. Signatures (also known as sigs for short) are 500x150 pixels. Tag and signature images must fit these particular sizes in order to display properly on site. You can either create your own tags and signatures, or you can visit the Tag and Signature Sales forum topic in order to purchase one from another player. Basic and Deluxe account owners alike can purchase tags and signatures, so if you have only a Basic account now and are saving up for a Deluxe account, you can purchase these images to use later. If you are a Deluxe member, you can set your tag and signature images from the Account Settings section on your Home page. Simply paste the image location into the respective box next to Your Tag and Your Signature. You must have your tag and signature image uploaded to an image host in order to do so however, as Equiverse does not allow you to upload images directly. If you are a Basic member, or wish to use a basic tag, you can click the premade tags link in the Account Settings section to select a default tag. What are Characters? Characters are horse designs that players can own, buy, and sell, and they are a common part of the art community here, although not required for regular gameplay. These characters are frequently used as the subjects for "Your Horse Here" style art sold on site, most frequently tags and signatures. Characters are often given a backstory, personality profile, etc to make them feel more lively, and some users even use them in roleplaying. Anyone with the inspiration can make character designs, which often are put together on free-to-use lineart (if the artist doesn't make lines themselves) or sometimes even on free-to-use greyscales as well. You can make a character yourself, or purchase one on the Character Sales forum topic. When you create or buy a character you get a reference sheet (ref) for it, which is what is used as the template for how the design should look when it is recolored onto tags, sigs, or other art you buy. They often serve as the subject matter for art, so having a nice, clear reference sheet with full crediting is desirable. What is crediting on art? Crediting is a method of referencing or citing work used in a piece of art that was created by another person. Any materials you use that do not explicitly belong to you, or were not created entirely on your own, must be credited. Here on Equiverse we take copyright infringement very seriously (please see the respective section in the Terms and Conditions for more details). Be sure to only use stock photos or resources that are labelled as free-to-use, copyright-free, or are part of the Creative Commons in your artwork. You must assume that any materials that aren't labelled as such are under copyright, and must not be used. This includes images that come up at random in a search engine image search. You must check sources to guarantee work is free of copyright. Finally, you MUST always credit the artist whose lines or free stock you've used. The credits must be readable and must be on the piece at the time of sale. Excuses such as "I'll add them to the ones I sell" are not acceptable - art sales that are uncredited may be removed or locked until proper credits are added. To credit art resources created by someone from DeviantArt, for example, you must include the full link to their profile page like this: username.deviantart.com. If you are using art from another stock site, indicate the full URL of the site. If your art is 100% your own creation, then make sure to include credit for yourself. Get your own name out there in the art world! For some more info on stock and more go here! What do abbreviations on auctions mean? Auctions have their own specific jargon, and when you first see one the abbreviations may seem strange. Here is an explanation. SB means "Starting Bid" - The minimum amount the Artist will accept as a bid. MI means "Minimum Increase" - How much larger your bid has to be than the previous one. AB means "Auto Buy" - This is the price that will allow you to buy the art piece outright and bypass the auction process (not all auctions will have an AB available). Needing Help: This part may seem silly but honestly, you’ll get snags all the time and all of the players would enjoy helping, we’ve got an amazing community so if you ever get stuck, no matter how silly of a problem, you can ask for help in the Help Me Board, or in Equiverse Chat board. Places on EV where you can get help: Help Center Game Guides Help Me Messaging a Moderator EV ‘Checklist’ for after the tutorial: This is a little ‘checklist’ for things you’ll need to be successful in the game: ü Horses ü Money ü Help ü Fun ü EXP All in all, EV is a complicated game, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy and super fun! I hope that this guide helped! When I joined I had absolutely no idea what to do because we didn't really have many good guides... I don't want it to be so rough for new members!

Very nice guide! I haven't read it all the way through, but I will when I have more time. : ) The one thing I see that needs changing is that one month of deluxe costs 5 EVC, not 2. Great guide otherwise! I hope it helps our newer members.
