[ January 3, 2010 ] Horse Isle: Legend of the Esrohs Improvements:
HI2 (LOTE) is not playable for months yet, but here are some of the improvements we've made from HI1 (SLOH).
1) Everyone plays in the same world -- (Hopefully)
2) More horse detail both technical and graphic:
4) Scalable client (You will be able to make it bigger/smaller.)
5) Several times more original music composed. Different areas/terrain have different soundtracks.
6) Larger, completely new world to explore.
7) 8 all new Arenas, more stat based up to 8 players in all, with 4 levels of competition.
8) Safer trading system.
That's enough for now :)
Thanks,
-Joe and Miranda
Here's the Background story for LOTE for those that haven't seen it yet:

[ January 1, 2010 ] Happy New Year 2010!:
Thanks to all of our dedicated and patient players! Horse Isle 1 is technically called Horse Isle:The Secret Land of Horses. Horse Isle 2 is called Horse Isle: Legend of the Esrohs. (HI:SLOH and HI:LOTE for short). Now, what is an Esroh? Horse Isle 2 will contain an over arching background story, a Main Quest. HI:LOTE will not be live for several months yet, however, we would like to share the background story movie for HI:LOTE. We hope you enjoy!

[ December 14, 2009 ] Horse Isle 2 Issues:
Hey all. We've decided to focus on some HI1 updates for December. It's also become apparent that HI2 will not replace HI1. It's much more of a different game than a sequel. Originally I had thought it could just swoop in and replace much of HI1, but here I will list some of what players may find troublesome with HI2.
So, these are some of the major trouble points some may have with HI2. Now, there are also hundreds of improvements and upgrades over HI1, but I thought it would be good to get these sticking points out of the way first.
January we will be running a closed beta, where we will randomly offer HI1 players to log onto HI2. After a few months, HI2 should hopefully, finally be live. In the meantime though, look for some HI1 updates soon!
Thanks!

[ November 3, 2009 ] Game Update:
As you have probably noticed, we are not updating as frequently or adding as much stuff with each update. We are working very hard on Horse Isle 2 and trying to get that ready to go live. Hopefully that will be worth the wait and lack of additional content on HI1.
6 New Quests
Several typo and bug fixes.
Enjoy!

[ March 14, 2009 ] Horse Isle 2 Horse Photo Contest Results:
Thanks for all the wonderful horse photos! We received many great photos and it was hard to narrow it down. We chose horses based on the quality of the photo, whether our rules were followed and the creativity and uniqueness of the picture.

[ December 24, 2008 ] Update Note on Horse Isle 2:
We are a long ways off from releasing Horse Isle 2 yet. Everything is taking longer than hoped. Timeframe looks to be another 6 months minimum up to another year. But just so you know we are working hard on many aspects of the new game. Many of which should be improvements. Recently finished work on a HI2 reining and barrel racing arena.
Thanks for your patience!
-Joe and Miranda
[ May 4, 2008 ] Happy Horse Isle Birthday!:
As of today, Horse Isle has been live for exactly one year. We want to thank everyone for making it a fun and successful game. We never expected this much enthusiasm, and so the initial design of Horse Isle was rather limiting. Since January, I (Joe), have been working full time on Horse Isle 2. This will not be ready for at least another year. We absolutely cannot answer any questions about the new game, So the information provided here will be it until another update made here months from now.
Features of HI2:
Again, we cannot share any more information about this project, and questions will be ignored, Until such time as we make further announcements. We just wanted to share the fact that your support is fully going towards development of a hopefully even "better" horse based world!
With extreme gratitude! -Joe and Miranda
