Title: Game Rules
Post by: Rhianon on Jan 03, 2026, 07:28 AM
Membership Basics
You must be at least sixteen (16) years of age to join Spur.
Accounts must be activated via email before you can login.
All usernames must be a human-like name. No HorzeLvr, etc.
The username you choose when registering is the same username that will be used game wide. So choose wisely.
All members must have an active working email address.
We expect all members to treat each other with respect. No bullying/trolling of any kind will be tolerated.
Each member may only have one (1) account at a time.
Your official joined date is the date listed on your dashboard. This is the date your account was completely set-up.
Activity Requirement: If a member goes no contact (on the forum or Discord) for four months (one Spur Year) they are marked as "inactive". If they are no contact for 8 months (two Spur Years) they are removed from the game and their horses put up for adoption! Declaring Hiatus either on the forum or in discord will exempt you from this rule.
Members who leave in good standing are always welcome back
Apprenticeship
Upon joining all members are an "Apprentice", during this time they still must purchase stalls. However, their stalls are located on the property of existing host stable until sim magic moves them to your own stable.
During this time their stable is named as "Barn Name at Host Stable". They must be listed on their host stables website to be considered official.
Apprenticeships last for thirty (30) days or 25 forum posts, which ever comes first. After this time they may submit their stable for approval and become a host facility themselves if they wish.
Time
One RL month = 1 Spur Season.
Horses age every Spur Year (four RL months). There are three Spur Year (SY) in one RL year.
The current season and year can be found in our header on the website (along with the current RL date/time) and on the forum!
Horses
All horses must be registered in order to exist within the game.
NEW All horses pass away at age 30. Any horse over the age of 20 could pass away. This is handled at the start of each season via cron.
Each horse must have a different name. Please check the registry before registering a horse.
Horses cannot be named after famous horses (ie. Totilas, Volegro, etc.)
There are two types of horses: Foundation (created) and Bred.
* Foundation horses require a Credit to create.
* Bred horses are horses that are bred within the game from previously registered horses. One breeding credit is required to breed a horse.
All horses must have a stall. Regardless if they are "free range" or not.
Horses must be at least three (3) years of age to be bred.
Horses must retire from competition at age 18
Mares may have one foal per birth year.
There is no gestation period.
Providing health care and purchasing supplies is optional but highly encouraged!
Establishments
Members may open a business as soon as they would like.
Members must be active for at least one (1) month before they can open an association.
In order to open a stable, you must purchase one stall per horse and one acre of land per arena or course. See the "Apprenticeship" section above.
Money, Spurs, & Credits
All members have the potential to start with $100,000 ($50,000 for joining & $50,000 for posting their introduction).
All members begin the game with ten (10) Credits! These are used to create horses!
Spurs are our member incentive program. They are earned via various activities within the community and can be redeemed for Credits, real estate credit, or cash!
