I did about 20 stagecoach races and was never mismatched with someone who has an upgraded cart, maybe they modified that? (I know because my cart is not modified and I mostly won).
Of course everyone has a different opinion, but DL did a good job so far and now they are working to enhance the space and make it bugs free.

No one blames anyone, it’s an opinion. Id rather play the rest of games I play on home because Western frontier is boring when you got no gold and returns are not good enough. It’s a fixed fairground attraction if you want to win the big cuddly toy you need to spend more than its worth to get it. Not in money terms but in time as well. Where I feel playing the bulk of the other games I play on home are more enjoyable and give me a better return on my time. The point is as soon as you have to buy up-rated parts in the stagecoach racing that 11000 will buy you one part, so you spent loads of time in there and you can’t even up-rate your stagecoach fully. And currently as you can be mismatched racing an up-rated stagecoach it’s not worth playing.

It’s a space for players, not a shop. So sad to read that. PS Home is a virtual community, a video game. Playing video games is about fun, and if you don’t have the time don’t blame Sony nor Digital Leisure. That’s what this space is about.
I spend $0, I earned 12,000 gold the first day, and still have 11,000 with many rewards + a free personal space + western outfit. I will buy some pickaxes later if they change they ket us using 12 hours in game time.

Sure, free gold can be accumulated through panning and mining but both activities are so abysmally boring with meager payouts. Given the pathetic gold-to-token conversion rate for items, I wouldn’t expect to get much out of this space without spending a fistful of dollars.

Some of the rewards are nice enough but I don’t plan to spend the excessive time or money required to earn them. And that’s fine. I have no problem simply riding off into the sunset.

The trade counter is a great idea lost on the idiots using it thinking that I’m going to trade a 60 coin hat for a 2000 coin companion. Apart from the usual home server issues where I lost money on the stagecraft race due to being kicked. I also lost an item I traded it was there when I went back it had gone. Apart from that seemed well put together, might be a bit too commercial to be a great space. And by that I mean there isn’t enough stuff to do for users that don’t want to spend money on home, where the true legendary spaces have something that bring all users back time after time

It’s 12 hrs real time after your first use of the pickaxe.

I agree, they did a fantastic job and I hope there will be more to do (and more to win jn the coming months).
Do you know how does the pickaxe work ? a pickaxe lasts 12 hours, but it’s 12 hours when you’re in the space, or is it lost 12 hours after you bought it ?
