Thoughts on Character Update and More.

Recently several people have mentioned SSO starting work on updating our main characters. Considering this started back in August 2019 and will take a while my guess is it won't happen until next year in time for the 10 Years of SSO Celebration. People are also considering a new area opening for the 10 Years of SSO Celebration. We definitely know something big must happen for a milestone, right?

They are still working on the updates to the areas already in game They still need to do:

~Jarlaheim, Jorvik Stables, Paddock Island, Goldspur Farm, Sunfield Farm, Seahorse Point

~Forgotten Fields

~Silverglade Village, Marley's Farm, Barney's Silo, Will's Mill.

~Silverglade Manor/Vineyard, Riding Arena

~Valedale, Hollow Woods

~Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur

~Cape West Fishing Village, Jasper's Pumpkin Farm, Goldenleaf

Now, back onto the new area topic. There's only these two options on which could be the next one that seem reasonable.

1. Mistfall Lake / North Mistfall. Mistfall was supposed to open in parts, and being the newest area it'd make sense to add to it.

2. Cape Point / Northlink. There's been mentions of Northlink, Cape Point, and Pine Hill Manor in books and quests. If this doesn't come next I think it would eventually.

I know Ashland, Devil's Gap, and Fort Maria aren't open, but I don't have any proof that points to them possibly being next. SSO said a while ago they don't have plans for Ashland; Devil's Gap is probably to do with main questline, and Fort Maria hasn't been mentioned much. 

What are your thoughts on the topics?

UPDATE on the new Jorvik Wild Horses!

Star Stable finally released the teaser trailer and we now have names for the new horses: Tellina and Kampos! 

There is no official release date yet. I'm still guessing second week of Midsummer Festival.

SPOILER ALERT! The Next Jorvik Wild Horse!

Star Stable released concept art for the next Jorvik Wild Horse! 

View the concept art here: https://www.instagram.com/p/canxmdsbgyl/

It's a seahorse, or what some are calling a Seashell Horse. I'm still looking for confirmation on the name. 

Now here's when I think it will release. 

I think it will come for the annual Midsummer Festival.

Midsummer happens every year in June.

This year if I'm correct it will start Wednesday, June 17th. The Sakura & Birch JWH came the second week of the festival last year, so the so-called "Seashell Horses" should come Wednesday, June 24th. The horses last year stayed for 4 weeks. 

From what people are guessing the horses will be between 650-850 SC, unless they have an unknown special move.  

The colors are Pearl (the reddish tinted one, supposedly the pearlino Akhal-Teke) and the blue tinted does not have a color name yet. 

My opinion: They are definitely a little odd and creepy in the concept art, but I'm saving up so if the blue one looks not creepy once we know it's look in game I will buy it. Otherwise I'll probably skip it like I did Sakura & Birch. 

So start saving up, my friends, if you want the horses! 

And stay tuned for a post of Ocean themed names for them.

Thoughts and Theories #1: Soul Riders Book 1

Intro
I finally finished the first Star Riders book and I'm so excited to share my thoughts and theories, which brought me to a new post idea: Thoughts and Theories. Basically each post will have to do with my thoughts and theories on things, whether it's a book or a YouTube video, to do with SSO.

So without further ado...

Thoughts and Theories #1: Soul Riders: Jorvik Calling by Helena Dahlgren.

First, if you haven't read the book, you can find it wherever books are sold, or probably right now in e-books. I have it on my Amazon Kindle fire tablet. 

Second, because this is a Thoughts and Theories post there may be spoilers to the book and the game. 

Thoughts:

First, I love that the story tells about the Soul Riders before they even knew they were Soul Riders. Also I was super excited that Lisa seemed to be the main focus of the first book as she is my favorite of the Soul Riders. I really enjoyed learning more about her story and her personality.

My first question though, since the story reveals more about her dad, will we ever see him in game? Or is he the "Carl" that was seen in the quests in Jorvik City? This will bring me to Theory #1. 

The next thing is about Linda. In the book she's living with her Aunt Amal and her cat Misty. So when will will meet her Aunt Amal? (Theory #2)

We also now know that Anne lives in Jorvik City, in a place called Millionaire's Row (Theory #3) and a little more about Alex's personality.

Lisa and her Dad find a house near Jarlaheim. Where is it in game? (Theory #4)

And last for now but definitely not least: There's a school called Jorvik Academy for the Performing Arts. (Theory #5).

Theories:

1. Where's Carl?: Lisa's dad, Carl, is hired by Dark Core. Why haven't we seen him in game yet? The only npc named Carl with a storyline that's near to it is Carl Edelman, assistant to Mr. Anwir. Except there's no proof that Mr. Anwir or Carl Edelman worked with DC. Also we know that Lisa's last name is Peterson. Wouldn't Carl share the same last name, or did the Peterson name come from Lisa's mom and Carl is Carl Edelman?

2. Where's Aunt Amal?: We've been in Linda's room now. Where's her Aunt Amal? Will we ever see her in game? Or did Linda move out to her own apartment?

3. Millionaire's Row: I'm thinking this place is in Governor's Fall, same place where Anastasia Silverglade lives. 

4. Lisa's House: Unfortunately I don't have much to go by for this, other than Jorvik Stables is close by. So it's either in Jarlaheim or possibly Epona.

5. Jorvik Academy of the Performing Arts: Lisa applies to go this school. I'm guessing because of the saving the world thing she doesn't go. But does it exist, or will it exist in game in some form? Perhaps in Jorvik City, in some type of quest? 

One last mystery now I want to point out: 

The Case of the Missing Dog.

As seen here: 

https://news-uploads.starstable.com/old/news/281/silverglade.jpg

If you zoom in, right next to the town hall, Disco the dog sits on a barrel. You might know the dog from posters seen in Jarlaheim, Jorvik City Mall, and the Fort Pinta Disco. However quite recently Disco no longer sits upon his barrel. Where did the dog go? Why was he there before, and why isn't he now?
