VIEWING GAME FORUM THREAD: HI and Flash and 2020

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DesertPaint)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Jan 1 2018 1:44pm</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>There are NO plans to shut down Horse Isle.
Adobe Flash will stop supporting Flash in 2020 so yes there are going to be some problems. Eventually Flash will stop, the game is programmed in Flash so obviously there will be a problem.
The owners are aware of this, they have several options.
Some of those are:
~ Trying to find a work around for Flash and keep the game as is.
~ Possibly re-doing Horse Isle in a different format.
~ Having another game all together.
Now, there are several other options, those are what I thought of off the top of my head. We have 2 years. Plenty of time for the owners to decide and implement whatever they choose to do.
In the mean time Horse Isle is and will be here for as long as players can access the game at all.
At this time it's really premature to get all upset about this. I know the owners are looking into this, again they have several options. So lets sit back, enjoy the game and let the owners worry about it. :)</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Nebulous)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Jan 1 2018 10:04pm</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>How would re-doing Horse Isle work? Would we get to keep all of the stuff we have or would we basically have to start over? And would another game be horse related or something else?</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DesertPaint)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Jan 2 2018 12:45pm</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>I don't know Nebulous. That is something that would have to be worked out, and I don't know if it's feasible to do or not.
I'm not the programmer, I know some things that might be possible, but I'm not at all familiar with Adobe Flash and I'm not up on All of the possibilities. I know some possibilities, as to whether they would be practical to implement or how it would be done, I don't know.
That is up to the owners, and they still have 2 years. :)</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Prongs)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Mar 25 2018 11:05am</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>Although it would stink to lose everything we've worked for, it would be lovely to have only 2-3 servers if even that.</FORUMTEXT>
<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DesertPaint)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Mar 25 2018 11:58am</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>As an update... The owners are working on something. What it is I don't know. Whether it will pan out I don't know. But they are working on something. :)</FORUMTEXT>
<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Pinestorm)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Mar 26 2018 4:55pm</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>I'd have to hope that any new game would be more like Hi1 than Hi2. The 3d graphics are cool and all on Hi2 sometime I guess - but most of the people on hi1 absolutely hate the filter, economy, and how much the game depends on buying a sub.</FORUMTEXT>
<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Shockerz)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Oct 24 2018 3:53pm</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>Depending on what the owners do or want to do, if it for some reason falls through, I have a friend that would be able to do the transfer from Flash Player to HTML5. ^.^</FORUMTEXT>
<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Eleven)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Nov 2 2018 9:38pm</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>Are they looking into keeping hi1 or is hi3 to other option? :)</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Eleven)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Nov 2 2018 9:45pm</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>Sorry. Made a typo, Are they looking into keeping HI1 just how it is, or is HI3 a replacement for us so that when HI1 dies with Flash, we have HI3 to go to? Personally, and I know others would agree with me I'd really like it if HI1 could stay as well as HI3. As Shockers has mentioned, it can be transferred! :)</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Bree)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Oct 15 2019 12:25am</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>Are there any updates on this?</FORUMTEXT>
<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Fire)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Nov 10 2019 10:26am</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>Updates?</FORUMTEXT>
<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Rowan)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Nov 16 2019 3:55am</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>Hoping for some updates. It's great that HI3 has been released but I personally would love to keep playing HI1!</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DesertWind)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Nov 21 2019 8:55pm</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>I know something is in the works for an update, I have no idea what.
I also know that HI3 for now is taking priority, and they are still working like crazy on getting content in that game and getting lots of bugs and issues worked out.
Once things settle down a bit hopefully HI1 and HI2 will get an update. :)
I'm also hearing rumors that there are several "things" in the works out there somewhere to continue allowing Flash. So hopefully something will pan out and we will all be able to continue with HI1 and HI2. :)</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Horcrux)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Jan 25 2020 11:42am</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>Hello, some of us were wondering if there were any updates regarding the Flash issue with HI1/HI2. I understand that HI3 has high priority right now due to how much work still needs to be done :) I just wanted to see if there was any word on keeping HI1/HI2 running in the meantime with some updates. Thank you!</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by MadHare)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Feb 21 2020 9:43am</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>I don't know how receptive you all are to new ideas, but I just had this thought...
If HI1 were to be switch to a new format such as HMTL5 or something else (I don't know much about this), what if all the servers were merged into one? I think this would cut down your running costs quite a bit (you have so many functionally empty servers), and allow all players to interact.
Two problems I can think of,
1. Ranches: Everyone's ranch is sold and refunded, and everyone will have to purchase a new ranch (basically reset ranches to avoid overlaps). This might be hectic for the first week or so but I think manageable.
2. Players on multiple servers. I know some longtime players keep their old accounts alive while playing on pinto since it's most active. Not sure about this one. Give us some time to sort stuff and choose which account migrates. Probably will be a few issues with players stockpiling horses and money onto each other, but maybe you could work something out.
I think many of us would be receptive to some losses in terms of money/time it takes to transfer our data, if it meant more longevity for the game and probably a few more active players on one server.
It's just my 2cents. :)</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Savy)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Feb 21 2020 11:21am</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>I really like this idea, the only problem I really see is quests and all. Some people are enjoying starting over and have different percentages on servers. It would cause a rough moment but OVERALL I think this a great idea.</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DesertWind)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Feb 21 2020 12:12pm</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>The format for the game was something Joe looked into, but it's not feasible to do for this game or for HI2 unfortunately.
Even if it were, it would still be a totally different format and nothing would be able to be moved over. So a different game. And HTML doesn't work for this type of game, it would need to be C something anyway.
Thus a download game.
We are still hoping that someone somewhere will come up with a way to keep Flash going.
There is HI3 if you can do downloads.</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by MellyMonster)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Feb 22 2020 4:27am</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>I agree with MadHare about the ranch idea. I mean, I've just logged onto Roan Server, and only *3* people there have a ranch..</FORUMTEXT>
<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by StraitPirate)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Mar 5 2020 11:19am</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>Any updates on what's gonna become of HI?</FORUMTEXT>
<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Catelyn)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Mar 12 2020 6:43pm</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>I do hope a way is found to maintain HI1. I for one am certainly happy to pay and stay subscribed. It's a fantastic game even after all these years.</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DesertWind)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Mar 13 2020 12:10pm</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>At this time, I think the owners are waiting to see what happens. Surely someone will come up with a way to continue Flash games.
Putting a lot of energy and effort into the games though as much as we want them to continue and hope they will indeed continue is not practical.
So for now, Joe is working on HI3 as it's going to stay around. It's a very flexible game and programmed in C#.
There are absolutely NO plans to close HI1 or HI2 down. But at the same time, focusing a lot of time and effort into them isn't something that is a good idea right now.</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by Luffy)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Sep 9 2020 8:29pm</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>Do we have any updates now that December will be soon?</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DesertPaint)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Sep 10 2020 11:52am</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>I haven't heard anything, sorry.
I guess we will just have to wait and see exactly what happens.
I know the browsers will not support Flash, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will not allow it.
Honestly there are still a Lot of Flash games out there, it's not really logical to just dump all of them... So we are assuming something will be worked out, we just haven't really heard anything definite. Which actually is probably a good thing. Means they are considering it and working on it most likely. *laughing out loud!*</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by ChasingWillow)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Sep 28 2020 7:39pm</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>I just have to say that I have seriously loved playing HI1 again! I really hope there's a way to keep it long term! <3</FORUMTEXT>
<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by CharredLatte)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Sep 28 2020 7:42pm</FORUMDATE> <FORUMTEXT>I agree with ChasingWillow! HI1 has been such a huge part of a lot of our childhoods and lives still today! I'd be more than happy to support H1 if you guys needed help upgrading things! im sure the members would come together too! :)</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DesertPaint)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Oct 9 2020 7:24pm</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>Update:
This is difficult. They keep going back and forth with yes you can use a .swf file and still use Flash to no we are going to completely block it totally, to we will allow it but not support it, to totally blocking it...
Honestly at this point I have no idea. It's wait and see. I'll keep checking, but for now it's really up in the air. There are hundreds of Flash games out there so totally dumping Flash is not really a good thing.
It's also possible as Jor mentioned in his part that we could use an old version of a browser that will still allow Flash.
So be sure you have the Flash .swf file saved on your computer or on a Flash Drive so you can switch it to a new computer if needed. And we will wait and see what happens.
I'll keep updated If I know anything.</FORUMTEXT>

<FORUMSUBJECT>REPLY:</FORUMSUBJECT> <FORUMUSER>(by DesertPaint)</FORUMUSER> <FORUMDATE>Oct 12 2020 8:34pm</FORUMDATE>
<FORUMTEXT>Another update:
Jor is doing is very best to find a way to keep the games going. He has something in mind he is hoping will work, we will have to see however it if will work with the browser block. So need to still be patient and wait.
If he can find a way he will post it and the steps we will need to take probably around December 1, or there about.</FORUMTEXT>
