In probably one of the most fortunate delays announced from any developer, a FrontierVille community manager said in a forum post that the changes to Horses and Mules that were supposed to happen yesterday have been pushed back to later this week. Unfortunately, the animals are still unavailable both in the Market and as gifts, so all we can do is harvest the ones we have until then.

As mentioned before, the change will not affect the harvest times of Horses and Mules, but their chances to provide Energy will become randomized rather than every 60 and 36 hours, respectively. However, there is still no explanation as to why this change is taking place and what other plans Zynga might have for the two steeds in the future. Our most educated guess is that Zynga is trying to balance the game for shorter play sessions, but we're not sure this is the way to go.

What do you think of the changes to Horses and Mules? How would you balance the game for shorter play sessions without putting the more dedicated players out in the cold? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.
