Summer is Fun

29 Saturday Jul 2017

Posted by Maggie Oldcamp in Blog Related

≈ 3 Comments

Hey all!

I haven’t abandoned you. Summer is great where I live, mostly because the rest of the year it is cold and snowy, and I don’t much care for it. So I’ve been enjoying the sunshine as much as possible. I have also gotten back in to my textile crafts and lots of reading and motorcycle riding. As far as my hobbies go, the computer based ones have taken lower priority for the moment.

I am happy to see you all are still visiting the blog. I try to remember to check comments frequently and continue to help even though I haven’t been posting much. As much as I wanted to make this an entirely happy post, there is one negative that needs to be brought up.

I have received some rather rude and impatient comments regarding the lack of updates on the horse page. To that I say, take a chill pill and get a life. There are more important things than hoarding pixel ponies. The horse page is just meant to be a general reference anyway. When new horses are released, their location is announced on the news. You don’t have to wait for me to add them. I have a life outside of the computer and sometimes I really have no interest in sitting inside working on the blog, when there are other things I would rather do. And if that bothers you, I don’t need you here.

For the most part, you all have been great, constantly supportive, and for that, I cannot send you enough love.

At the moment I write this, I have added pictures of all the new horses. I know that many older horses’ locations have been changed. I will be updating that soon as well. I still have not decided if I will update the pictures for the new body model of the original Jorvik Warmblood. I probably will not, if just for nostalgia’s sake. But if you have an opinion on the subject, feel free to give me your input!

Hope you all are having a wonderful summer, and happy riding!

❤ Maggie

Quick Reminder

Hey all!

I have been getting a lot of questions asking about the game not loading, corrupted files, failed payments, etc. and I just want to reiterate: This site is only a walkthrough of the quests. I cannot help with technical issues with the game. I feel bad having to constantly repeat myself with the same response to these comments. Please understand that there are so many variables to technology not working. I am in no way knowledgeable about the workings of computers. I cannot, and will not help with tech issues because, one, I most often do not know the answer, and two, even if I did, I am not a tech blog and will not be liable to any further issues that may be caused by a reader following my advice. This is also a main reason why I will not advise on the use of glitches, namely the wild horse glitch. It is a glitch that is caused by tampering with the game files on your computer and can cause the game to crash. I’m sure all of you are good people but in the off chance someone wants to be a dick and blame me for their game crashing, I do not want to be involved with that, so all I can do is cover my own ass and make sure none of that could come back on me.

I understand that the official game support can be very slow in responding to emails, but unfortunately it is what it is. I apologize that I cannot be more helpful in this regard. Please understand that there are limits to the amount of assistance I can provide.

Hope you all are having wonderful springtime, and happy riding!

-Maggie ❤

SSO Horses

07 Tuesday Feb 2017

SSO Horses is a mobile app companion to the full SSO game. It is free to download and play on any Android or Apple device.

In SSO Horses you can create a foal and raise into a full grown horse. Choose the color you would like and start the game! Foals take ten real ten real life days to fully mature. Each day you will receive new quests to care for and train your horse, starting with only one training activity, and get up to five activities each day, to level up your horse.

At the end of the ten days you can choose to pay Star Coins (using your SSO login and password) to transfer the horse to your online game and get that horse in game already trained to level ten. You can also continue to play with your horse in the app for free, or choose a new foal to raise.

There is currently only the Mustang available, in three different colors. Cost to transfer is 969 Star Coins (same price as regular Mustangs).

969 Star Coins – SSO app exclusive
969 Star Coins – SSO app exclusive
969 Star Coins – SSO app exclusive

More breeds and colors will be made available in future updates.

Please Give a Warm Welcome

Hello all!

I want to make a quick post to introduce two new writers to the blog: Sara and Amanda!

Both are avid Star Stable fans and horse lovers. Sara is completely new to the blog and Amanda was a writer returning from a long hiatus.

Get ready for mystery, adventure, and of course, horses!

Writer positions are always open, but only dedicated writers please. I know many of you are interested writing, yet no one so far has maintained an active position. I have had more than 20 different writers over the past 3 years and not one single finished story. Disappointing, right? If you think you can change that horrible track record, shoot me an email with a synopsis of your story and a short sample of your writing!

Still Alive, and Doing Well

Hey all!

I wanted to give you a quick update, since some of you have been asking about me, and I know that I’ve been inactive on the blog. I haven’t abandoned it. I do check comments daily but I haven’t posted for a while now.

Towards the end of August, I left my previous job. It was too much stress for too little money, and I made the decision to start a new job. This new job is second shift manufacturing; a little different than what I’ve done in the past but I like it. Having never worked late nights before, it was a little hard for my body to get used to. Even though the job has been going well, I did still suffer a little bit of anxiety stress. At the same time, I also moved my apartment. The new place is bigger and better but took some getting used to.

Most of September has been lots of getting out and enjoying life, something I have not done much of. I still love Star Stable and all my friends I have met there, and I don’t plan on leaving any time soon, but it was still nice to be away from it to make friends in real life.

I have been quite busy with life, as I have started a lot of new things recently; exploring and expressing my spirituality, regular weekly riding lessons, participating in the local nerd fandom meets, getting my first custom costume, dating my first serious boyfriend, and making new friends along the way.

I feel refreshed and alive and glad to be getting back to the blog. I plan to get caught up on the story quests by the end of the month. Lizbeth has been writing lots that I need to publish, and I have also added a new contributor, Alice Hawkfield, who has a Star Stable/Hunger Games crossover story that I hope you all enjoy.

I look forward to October, it’s my favorite month — Halloween and Samhain and my birthday (I’ll be 22).

I hope the days find everyone well and I look forward to another great month.

Enjoy life, and happy riding!

❤ Maggie

hugsforsso, let's not be stinky, pmaforsso, spread the love y'all

Hey all!

I’m sure you’ve all been privy to the drama in the SSO community as of late and I want to make a change.

From my Facebook:

We’ve done the yelling, crying, and complaining. This community is getting as stinky as fresh horse apples on a hot summerday. Let’s try something positive instead!

Share this status and give the SSO team some love in their contact box and Facebook page. Remember what Engineer Berzelius always says: Positive Mental Attitude!

Please share/forward/reblog and give the SSO team some love for all the great work they do, the long sleepless nights of bug squashing, and the beautiful game we all enjoy! #HugsforSSO #PMAforSSO

Stay wonderful ❤

Welcome New Contributors!

Hey all!

I wanted to announce that I have added two new contributors to the blog: Willow Dawnheart and Lizbeth Mountainside.

Willow’s first chapter of “Golden Leaves” will be published this Saturday!

In other news, I have been working hard on some other art projects outside of the blog, but I am back to working on new posts to be published soon.

Hope you all have a great week and happy riding!

Hey all!

I’ve been getting a lot of questions asking about game login or payment issues. I wanted to remind you that I cannot help technical questions, so I all I can do is suggest you contact the game support. I am not a game staff member. I don’t have the ability to see anything on your SSO account nor can I fix bugs in the game. I’m a fellow player just like all of you. While I can offer some tricks to playing the game, or info about known glitches, I cannot help you with anything regarding the technology of the game.

Hope you all are having a great week. I just played through the last day of the current Dino Valley quests, so they will be up on the blog soon!

Happy riding

Maggie ❤

Banner Contest Results

02 Friday Jan 2015

Hey all!

I want to share the results from the banner contest. Here are the runners up:

scarlett_queenstone3

From Scarlett Queenstone

 

piper_silentwood

From Piper Silentwood

From Emma Opalmountain

From Emma Opalmountain

 

And the winner, that I have chosen:

From Patricia Roseheart

From Patricia Roseheart

I had a hard time deciding how to do this, because I know Patricia Roseheart personally (aka ‘the bestie’) and I didn’t think it is fair because he is a professional graphic designer. I do want my blog to look the best with a great banner but at the same time, I also I did ask for entries, and I know everyone tried their best.

I have decided that I will give all the runners up a chance to be on the blog and will rotate the banners and give each one a month up on the blog. Then come April, I will put up the winning banner along with a new layout for the blog. We’ll call it a spring spruce-up, and that way everyone will get a chance to have their banner posted!

Hope everyone had a great New Year!

Have a great week and happy riding!

Happy New Year!

Hello all!

I wanted to wish you all a happy new year and thank you for reading my blog. We’ve seen a lot happen on Star Stable; met a new Soul Rider, survived a catastrophic meltdown, and discovered a valley that hasn’t seen people in over a hundred years. A lot has happened with this blog as well. Visitor stats have more than doubled and as it now goes into its third year, I want thank my familiar faces and welcome in new friends.

I will be announcing the winner of the banner contest in the next few days.

I also have big plans for a new subscription area and will also be finishing the Dino Valley quests pretty soon. And then of course we will be continuing on with Anna Whalewood’s story ‘Wishpers’ and finishing the next Starshine Legacy!

At the end of every year, my web host publishes a nice little report on the site’s traffic and other stats. I always enjoy sharing it because I find it so neat!

Hope you all have a safe and wonderful new year and happy riding!
