    That's not how the server works. This sort of thing--like pretty much everything else--is player run.

    I would invest anything from 20k-60k if you can give me the numbers, profit, turnover, cost of overheads etc.

    I'll invest some too, but I'm going to wait to see if horses are allowed to say any exact amounts. This is a great idea, though!!!

    Pigs wouldn't work as well. First, you can't breed pigs to be better and faster. Second, pigs aren't as fast in the first place. Third, pigs are harder to control. Fourth, they get caught in the Butcher and don't exist in the main world. And finally, horses are much cooler.
    So no. We couldn't do this with pigs.

    I like this idea alot!
    So much that I will donate to this project later on.
    To solve this problem with getting the horses there, you could build a public barn with small plots in it, and make it feel lika a barn.
    Where the riders can store their horses and also breed them. It would be very nice.

    Maybe in the future there could be "Horse nights"
    Where everyone gathers and there will be a big tournament with alot of money involved.
    What do you think?

    I'd be willing to do exactly this for the exact statistics rockboy here mentioned.
    I think it's hard to throw out any REAL numbers until you crunch some yourself - which is obviously hard considering it takes a while to establish a market.

    I am currentally trying to save up for mayor to buy a town of my own, but I might be able to invest 1-2k. I completely love the idea Weeaa threw out there. having a "Barn" for everybody to keep their horses and then have "Horse Races"/Nights where everybody races their horses and anybody can bet on the winner/horse etc I'd invest all my money if I had 100k+ but sadly.. xD I dont. lol​

    Horses are being added, but no breeding. They're supposed to be very rare, and if they are too rare, then this won't work. We'll wait a bit more before starting money work.

    If anyone knows of a 200x200 area that is entirely plains, that'd be where the races are located.

    Well I may be able to donate Horse Eggs if I ever get Super/Ultra Lucky, I would prefer if I did that it count as an investment.
