As it turns out, that can indeed kill horses that you had been logged out with. I'm afraid the data is entirely gone, so there isn't a whole lot I can do about that any longer (I can't even see who would have been affected), but your sacrifices will be remembered going forward.
No refunds.

it's really unfair=( For someone this horse could be too expensive to lose it.

You've been playing this game for 9 years and never posted.

Clearly this horse was sacrificed to cure your muteness :D

I found a horse wandering around. PM me the name of its father and mother and if it's a match I'll let you know and you can come and fetch it.

5 of us were wondering in a hunting group together. 5 horses lost of what were some of our top quality.
Thankfully there some babys of them...so I get to wait for them to grow up.

but the more annoying part is it was 5 horses. there still a limited supply of horses in my village.
Now people will get bumped back on the list of getting a horse until we can either get q10 horses from jorb or spend another week trying to tame a few.

If I understand loftar correctly, these horses are lost to the database, ie deleted, destroyed, etc. I'm sure more than a few people lost a horse due to this.
