Thanks for everyone's patience and understanding as we complete the installation of PB3 Phase I. PB3 has 3 phases scheduled for release with Phase 2 scheduled for the 3rd week of November.
Overall the upgrade went fairly well with a few minor bugs we are still working on. Last night we fixed a problem where it would say you were in a match when you really were not. If you account will not let you join a match and you are not currently in one please click the admin support link on the right column and let us know and we will fix your account.
As mentioned earlier, it was originally our full intention to upgrade PB2 however, to incorporate some phase 1 features and features coming in phase 2 and 3 made it nearly impossible to transfer accounts to PB3. On the news page I made a post explaining how PB2 donating members can get their donations moved over to PB3 in the coming weeks if you choose.
I want to make this absolutely clear, PB2 (Legacy PB) servers are not going anywhere. As long as members are playing on the servers we intent to support them. At this time we have turned off donations to the Legacy servers and we will reevaluate this decision in a few days after PB Phase I is completely installed.
As you may have noticed, things on PB3 cost a lot cheaper. 200,000 PB on PB2 is worth about 10,000 PB on PB3. Our donation package on PB3 offers 10,000 PB buying opportunities if you wish to support the site. All items and features on PB3 can be bought with Ponybucks so we do not offer item packs with the donations. I did this so members can choose what to buy on the site instead of being forced to get just whats in the item pack donation like we did on PB2.
Whats coming in Phase II? (November)
Ponybox Mayor, Member profile upgrades, More horse stats, tons of more ranks, horses, items and technologies, Polls upgrade, Photo/image Voting, Pasture Buddy Upgrade, Polo Game upgrade, Option to receive an email if you get a message when not online, News upgrade, PonyboxTv, Real prizes and much more.
Whats coming in Phase III? (January/February)
Most of Phase III is being kept a secret at this time as we work out the details, but I will give you a hint. You will be able to view your Polo Facility and construct buildings on your property.
Hope you guys stick around and see how it turns out!

Loving it so far. Thanks Jeff and all of your team, you guys and girls are doing a brilliant job. putting all of this together. Shame you couldn't incorporate everything into the legacy servers, but it's obvious that it would have been just too difficult. I'm over it and I'm happy enjoying both the old and the new. I will certainly be sticking around to see how it all turns out.
