The Hay! Land Players' Incentive Program is designed to encourage players to stay active in the game and to participate in all that Hay! Land has to offer. Below are the ways in which you can earn points and the value for each. Keep track of your points and check the Update Schedule for when during the month your barn can update their points. This program operates on the honors system meaning we'll take your word for the fact that you've done what you said you've done. However, the Players' Council will be occasionally verifying whether or not everyone is doing what they're saying they've done. If you're caught falsifying information you may be suspended, or even expelled from, the PIP and/or Hay! Land. Keep everything fair and fun for everyone!
