Sulkyland7: Training session
The training section is now operational. Please test it and report any bugs or inconsistencies compared to version 6.
As I regularly receive questions about version 7 and its compatibility with version 6, here is a summary:
- Version 7 is based on the same data as version 6, so any action taken in version 7 has the same repercussions as in version 6 (and vice versa). Your horses, sulkies, etc. are in version 7 as they are in version 6, and will remain so.
- Version 7 is not intended to shut down version 6 in the short term. Only when version 6 has been abandoned by everyone will it be shut down (which is normal, as once no one is using version 6, it will have become useless). From experience (the transition from version 5 to 6), I already know that it will take several years ;-)
- The aim of version 7 is to have modern technology, to offer new possibilities for improvements. But as version 6 will not be closed (and will only evolve marginally), the improvements must not involve changes to the rules. Therefore, new possibilities will only be available in version 7 if they do not disrupt the functioning of version 6. For example, adding new modules for managers (a more efficient calendar system for meetings) is not a problem, as long as the races themselves are not affected in their running.
Another example is redesigning the betting interface or adding new types of bets, which is also possible. Initially, my goal is strict compatibility with version 6, but later on, major improvements will be possible.
The main goal of version 7 will be to make the game much more accessible to new players, with a simplified interface at the beginning that will become more complex as the player progresses (through an experience point system). There will also be an integrated tutorial system (lessons to follow), which will also make it easier to get started with the game. This way, if new players discover the game little by little and get into it more easily, it will then be possible for me to recruit more new players.
So, my goal is to have version 7 up and running by the end of 2026, and 6,000 active players by the end of 2027. It is thanks to your testing, advice and support that we can achieve this, that we will achieve this ;-)

Thank you dear admin,
As an innovative approach, I would like to see mini games added or a little more innovation in existing games.
It would also be great to be able to enter the online system in separate roles as a horse owner, trainer, and jockey in the games. For example, another player should be able to make me an offer for one or more races with a jockey profile.
