The game is settled in three parts on three different plateforms :
- This website :
The general showcase of the game. You will find there :
- The presentation of the game
- The presentation of the different stables associated to the game
- General links between plateforms (GS's stables links in particular)
- The blog, for news & announcements about the game
- Registrations place
- Google sheets (GS) :
The core of the game takes place in Google Sheets (GS).
Each stable is associated with a GS.
There are also other parts of the game associated to a GS :
- Competitions
- Breeding
- Training and XP progression
- Market place (horse sales, covering sales)
- Discord :
The Community place. All discussions and exchanges about the game are done here.
You can find out the registration form here.
In the same time, you can join the discord.
Your registration will be managed by a stable manager of the stables you chose to join.
A registration is complete when :
- You have access to the Google sheets (GS) of your stable.
- You appear in the database of your GS's stable and you have your own tab in your GS's stable.
- You have the adequates roles on the discord : Owner + Your stable + your profession (optional)
Please note that having the right role (badges) on this website is not required to begin to play. This is an option that will be updated in the days after your subscription.
THAT is a very good question comrade, welcome aboard !
Once you joined the game, you will get access to the Google sheet (GS) of the stable you chose.
You will begin with 10 000 ♞, ♞ being the virtual currency of the game. It's called "poons". (Any resemblance to a real currency is pure coincidence, of course).
You will also be offered two horses : a stallion, and a mare ! (Randomly generated).
You will have your own tab in the GS's stable, where the stalls of your horses will appear. You will also have your ID card as an owner on this tab, and a reserved area where you will be able to write everything you wish. Your GS tab is the main place for you to consult all the statistics, competition results and breeding information of your horses.
You will also have access to separate GS for training your horses, participate to competition and breed you horses.
To learn how to use these sheets, please see the relevant sections of this tutorial.
The game is not fully automatized and repose to cooperation between players to be played out.
You will need cooperation with other players to perform some actions, like running the competitions, breed a horse, selling and buying horses...
This is why choosing a profession is not mandatory but strongly recommended, as you will be able to perform the role for others players, but also for yourself.
Please consult the adequate tutorial section to learn more about professions.
On Discord, other players will also be there to accompany you and help you begin your journey in Excelistria !
That depends on which stable you joined, as each player can create its own stable and create sub-rules with its own requirements regarding activity.
But if you join one of the three original stables (Winterclear stables (WCS), Blacklake estate (BLE) and Gemstone ranch (GSR) ), there are absolutely no requirements regarding your amount of activity.
This means that you can play once per month if you wish. Or everyday. You can get involved in the community. Or not. You can have a profession and a role in the community. Or not. You will be entirely free.
In those three stables (WCS, BLE and GSR) we may do some members sorting from time to time. If we see no activity from you since several months on the game, with no explanation written on your reserved area (your own GS tab), then we may decide to delete your account.
If you wish to put your account on hiatus without taking the risk to see your account deleted, you can ask a stable manager to put you on HIATUS in the stable's database.
The main way to support the game is by playing it and get involve in it!
There are many ways to get more involved in the game :
- Having an in-game profession that helps running the game
- Helping as a discord moderator
- Helping to find and report any bugs, malfunctions, bad english language (my native tongue is french :-) )
- Help other players if they need it
Nonetheless, if you wish to support me as the creator of the game, you may offer me the equivalent of a coffee. That would be appreciated, and would help me covering some fees for the game (why not having an *.com domain, more stockage on google drive for Google sheets, having a premium discord...). This is entirely up to you and definitely not required to play and get involved in the Community !
