Star Stable Online

**Star Stable Online**, also known as **Star Stable**, **SSO** or **SS** is an MMORPG produced by Star Stable Entertainment AB, based in Stockholm, Sweden. The game is based upon the earlier game series Starshine Legacy, Star Academy and Star Stable, and began development during 2007. In 2010 SSE
 bought the rights to the game and started developing a more advanced
online version which kept most of the elements from the previous games.

## Gameplay

millions of players. It is available in over 130 countries and in 14
languages.

The game is currently available in Swedish, English,
German, Spanish, Norwegian, French, Russian, Hungarian, Italian,

After Starshine Legacy, Star Academy and Star Stable
 were released, a new project began with the goal to create an online
role-playing game with the Star Stable series as a basis. The work
continued for several years before starstable.com opened.
The game's design took a radical turn in the work process. Judging
from pre-release screenshots of the initial online game, which was never
 completed, the player was meant to see its avatar from a far distance
with an above view. With the next pre-release screenshots, released a
few years later, it was revealed that the design had taken a turn to
more closely resemble the original Star Stable games. Silverglade Village was one of the very first locations shown.

Star Stable Online was officially released in Sweden in October
2011. In June 2012, the game was made available worldwide, starting with
 an English version and was later translated into other languages.
