Horse Racing Fantasy Community

So, it's my turn to promote our VIP program. I was walking out the door (actually sneaking) and Mike said, "VIP benefits - go post 'em." It only took me three minutes to compose this list, and when you really look at it, if you love our racing game and our community, looking at all the benefits that we currently have and that we will soon be offering, you have to say to yourself, "Wow! There is a huge difference for VIP members!" I'm just going to bullet-point them straight down starting off with what was just released or what will soon be released.

• Normal monthly stable fees for trainer horses are 10,000 community points. VIP-trained horses save 15%, or pay only 8,500 community points. Makes a big difference when you have 6 to 10 horses in your barn.
• Free Performance Report on all trainer horses - Non-VIPs will be paying 500 points per report.
• VIP-owned trainer game horses will be able to race one additional year - that's three more tournaments - three more chances to earn community points and three more opportunities to get your horse into the breeding shed.
• Breeding your horses - If your horse makes it to the breeding shed, the amount of community points you'll earn from either direct stud fees and override commissions from your offsprings' successful tournament races is dramatically higher for VIPs. In fact, if you have a good sire or dam that makes it to the breeding shed, your monthly community point earnings can be close to 100,000 community points or more as a VIP and maybe 15% of that if you're not. Big advantage for VIP members.
• VIP Tournament Bonus Payouts - Starting in June, a lot of the trainer tournaments will have an additional bonus payment for VIP members if they win a particular trainer tournament. Bonus payments can be huge if you have a decent stable. One bonus payment can pay your entire month's VIP membership fee.
• Jockey & Bettor Tournaments - VIP-only jockey and bettor tournaments offer hard prizes and valuable gifts in addition to community points. Some of these gifts are worth hundreds of dollars and more.
• Stable Page Enhancements for VIP Members - Lots of cool features and benefits will be added to your stable page for VIP members. These additional tools will help you manage your stable, giving you an advantage when placing your horses in tournaments. What a great time-saving tool, as well. Lots of cool content will be added to the stable page.
• Naming Your Pony - Starting sometime this summer, VIPs will not only be able to pick the gender of their horse but also the color - a great feature when naming your thoroughbred. It's also good for people who like color-coordinated stables and horses.
• Teleconference Training - We're just finishing the designs to start a live training session for VIPs where our staff, including our jockeys and trainers, will answer any questions that VIP players have, helping them get a more in-depth look at the game and how to maximize all of its information in order to play more successfully.
• Special Discounts on Gifts & Prizes in Our Shop - We want to offer a great selection of prizes. These gifts and prizes cost a lot of money. We've set up a special program that discounts the prizes and gifts to VIP members. In a nutshell, with this new program we're rolling out, VIP community dollars can have twice the buying power (and more) of general members' community dollars. This will allow us to further continue adding better and better quality gifts.

These are some of the new features that have either just been added or about to be added. Right here is enough of a reason to become a VIP if you're serious about this game and serious about winning. In addition to these new VIP features, let me just highlight what is already in place for VIP members.

• 99,500 free community points the moment you sign up as a VIP
• VIPs can earn 6,000 points a day from general game play as a jockey or bettor. Use those points to enter tournaments, pay stable fees, buy new horses, etc. General game members can only earn 1,000 points per day.
• No advertising - In my opinion, this is worth the $9.95 per month all by itself! No ads between game screens.
• Special community horse information - On the right navigation of the community, right above the Horse Racing Totals, there is a link to full jockey stats on community horses. If you play in jockey or bettor tournaments, these stats are very powerful, especially when it comes to community horses.
• VIP jockey & bettor tournaments - Special tournaments for our VIP members, special bonuses, special prizes - a big, big plus for VIP members.
• VIP Lounge - Proprietary information from jockeys, trainers and our staff. The VIP Lounge is a big plus for anybody who loves this game and horse racing in general. Where else can you get inside information from some of the best jockeys and trainers in the world?
• Pre-Built Races - VIPs receive 2 to 3 pre-built races every week of upcoming major stake races. Some of our members use these races as an actual handicapping tool. Others use it as a great way to jockey some of the greatest thoroughbreds in upcoming major stake races before they happen. It's virtual racing at its best. In addition to the free pre-built races, VIP members get all of the historic pre-built races that we post at a 50% discount. We're constantly posting new pre-built races. What a great way to really enjoy the whole nostalgic history of horse racing, reliving these great events in full-screen 3D for the ultimate virtual experience.
• Special VIP bonus points - Two times a year we give our VIP members 25,000 free community points. You just can't beat that!
• Blue VIP Badge - As Mike and Joe call it, this is the badge of honor. It lets everyone know you're serious about our game, supporting it and maximizing your enjoyment from it.

I'm sure there are other benefits, but I've got to get the heck out of here. If this isn't enough to get you to be a VIP member in our game, probably nothing will. But, seriously, there's a difference between having fun and REALLY having fun. The VIP membership immerses you, takes that fantasy and the action to a whole new level. For the price of one movie, which only lasts approximately 2 hours at most, you can get an unlimited number of hours and an absolutely amazing virtual experience, interact with the community and even win some great prizes and gifts. Now that's a bargain! Click on the Shop icon, check out the VIP Subscription Services and join today. You're going to love it!
