Equintium

Equintium is an automated, online horse-simulation game where players around the globe can do many of the same things they would do with a horse in real life, like breed, train, show, buy and sell. The game is free to players of all ages all over the world, but a large majority of active players are teenage girls living in the United States. The structure of Equintium can closely be related to other pet-simulation games, like Horseland and Neopets.

Founding

Initial planning for Equintium began in June 2004 with development starting the following month. The hope was to create a game that would solve the problems the industry leader of the time lacked to fix and provide players with a new alternative to a game which had caused much unrest within the simulation community.

Programming & Hardware

Equintium is coded in PHP with a MySQL database for storing game data, such has horse information, user home pages and everything else necessary to play "EI". Savi, owner of the short-lived game Arab-Quest.com, joined Atomic, the owner of EI, in the creation of EI to provide a large amount of programming of the game.
