Auction Completed - Players Can’t Name Horses

Post by Mr. Lord Rich »

I had a lease auction and many players who won an unnamed horse are messaging me that they can not name the horse in order to race it.

Please help

When I did that, I had to have them terminate the lease, so I could name the horse, and then re-lease the horse to them for $0. It was only six horses, not sure how many you have.

Everyone from my auction who got an unnamed horse, if you see this, please terminate the lease and I will name the horse and lease back.

Sorry for the confusion :(

I guess we forgot about this possibility. We knew that an owner wouldn't want a lessee to be able to rename their horse. But we didn't think about leasing an unnamed horse. We should either allow lessees to name unnamed horses, or we should prevent the leasing of unnamed horses. Or we could leave it as it is, but that doesn't seem ideal.

Could we allow leasees to rename unnamed horses but not named horses?
