Hi, everypony!
In October of 2015 we announced that Legends of Equestria was entering alpha, and since that time our dedicated team has been working extremely hard to bring our vision of Equestria to you. It's been a long road, and you've been nothing but patient and supportive of us, so it is with our extreme pleasure that this year at BronyCon, we made an exciting announcement:
This December, Legends of Equestria will begin opening its servers starting with a limited access release!
What does that mean? Well, allow us to explain! In the coming weeks, we will be opening applications to the public to join us this December in playing Legends of Equestria. But not just for a weekend - when you enter Equestria this December it will be for good!
I hope you're as excited as we are about this announcement, so excited in fact that we're celebrating with one more Open Server Event! Join us Friday, July 29th to Sunday, July 31st and help us to commemorate this awesome milestone by having one more Sugarcane Corner party before we open our doors for good!
Stay tuned in for more information on how to apply to the Limited Access Release, as well as the upcoming Open Server Event. These are exciting times and we can't wait to share them with all of you!
Omigoshomigoshomigosh! :3
So excited! Can't wait to see you all in Equestria. ^-^
The December release being limited access is not something they told us at the Bronycon panel today.
Alright! Way to go!
Man, i've been waiting for this!
Gotta grab my sweeties and hope that this OSW, like the others before this one, rocks!
Hope to see you guys and gals there! :]
I'M THERE!
Yes! That's after my birthday (on July 28th and will turn 16 on a Thursday this year) by 1 day, I'll download and play with you bronies on that Open Server Event! :D
And then in December, I'll play Legends of Equestria at anytime! :)
Well, we were due for an OSW :D
Surprised at a release so soon though, even if limited access. No complaints though! If they think it's ready enough, I'm game.
Awesome.
How limited is limited access? >:/ And what is being limited? :s Does this mean that only the first 50 people can log in, or does it mean that each person can only log in for an hour per day, or...what? o.O

Ellowee gave a basic idea of how limited access will go.
It appears to be select people who apply to gain access to the game in December. Once they get in, they are set for the full release. What is limited is the number of players for December.

I cannot find the right reaction for this.
But what I can find is that this is in the lead--so far out of three games--I will be able to play.

Oh.
Okay.
[sarcasm]Well, I'm not hyped at all.[/sarcasm]
Please... You CANNOT simply do this! It's right during the Galacon! A good portion of european bronies gotta be there and so me... (This time with my marefriend and promised her to play LoE together so I can introduce her to this game D: ).
For the sake of many groups of bronies here, please move the opening to the next week-end. ono
What will happen with the Chatbox? Both during the OSW and the server release in December.
This event has been a long time in coming! :D
I'm can't wait!

What will happen with the Chatbox? Both during the OSW and the server release in December.
During OSW's, the Chatbox usually disappears for a little bit. Give or take one or two days after the OSW, so us moderators can recuperate from being so gosh darn vigilant! (Not that we aren't already vigilant all the time, but we tend to go into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE whenever OSW's take place)
As for December, LoE will only be entering a limited release. I'm sure that most people who apply will be able to get in the game, but there may be some who do not but still wish to use the chat box. I can't say for certain since I'm not in charge of opening/closing the chat, but my guess is that the Chat Box will remain open until the game is no longer limited.

I'm so excited! woo! Just so EXCITED!!
This is very great to hear!!! :D But a question, what about a download?
:D Finally! Can't wait till applications open up, and better yet, the game! Fingers crossed I'll get in, I've sorted this game for quite a while now, even despite first PLAYING it last year.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! ^-^ Another OSW, I'm so excited! And... limited access release? O: I can't wait for that! I hope I can be one of the lucky ones to get it (and all of my friends too! :D) Just a bit curious on how it works- is it like a first-come-first-serve basis? If so, then that is pretty clever. You would have people have the game for a while, then by the time the next LAA (limited access application) came around, the first set of people will have calmed down with the game making it a bit easier for you guys to keep track of and mod every little thing. Of course it could work differently, I'm sure more info will be released on this over time. Well, however it will work, I'm so excited and can't wait to play again with all my friends!
(Also, THANK GOODNESS that the date is right before the 1st of the month... I want to take my vacation from work for this, and we're not allowed to at the beginning of the month because of how busy it is during that time. I'm just going to make it :D can't wait!)
That's amazing! This time, I won't give up! I will stay in my pc, till it is ready to play. *-*
I never played it, cause the in the previous OSW (Jan. 16th-17th) I quit, because I was bored. See you there (my OC's name is Thunder spin) ! :P
Ultra HYPE-TRAIN awaits!
As a pre-alpha (2013) veteran im planning to apply for December! Huzzzah!
Which reminds me (can't believe that I haven't said this before)-- how do I apply for early access? Is there some sort of form or contract, or do I message a mod?
Finally open servers! joy and whips O: :D I think , i will join testers <3 And my dream will come true)
I would love to sign up for the closed beta this is really a great milestone for LoE!! :D
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IT'S FINALLY ALL HAPPENING!
And I can finally share with everyone what I know for weeks now! 0:)
Legends of Equestria is growing up now, soon it will be a respectable adult pony that will make Equestria proud!
And I watch it since it was a baby. :'( And now my baby is growing up. D:
But this means it will be even more fun to play with it! A song for the epic moment:
Just a few months more and Legends of Equestria will get its wings. D: And I will be there to soar with it through the sky! B) 0:)
@OtakuMegane Quote from: OtakuMegane on 2016 Jul 11, 00:36:33
If they think it's ready enough, I'm game.
We're still months away from that release and of course we're going to work hard through this time! There will be more amazing things added to the game between the upcoming OSW and the December release. 0:)
First rate!! I'll be there if I'm allowed!
<<------------ MY FACE RIGHT NOW!

As the post mentioned, applications to play in December will be open in the coming weeks. The specifics of them I know not, nor am I qualified to give any real answer.
I hope to see you in-game!

I just want to congratulate the LoE team for working so hard to get to this point! I hope it's exciting for you all to see us lose our collective minds as it is for us to learn you're about ready to launch, even in a limited capacity!
AWESOME~
I'M SO EXCITED
:D :3 lol
I can't wait to see all the new features!
WOOHOOO
Awesome news! Can't wait to revisit the game! :D
Oh my celestia I can't wait to play for three days this will be my first time playing for three whole days :D
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v350/scudderkidwell/My_Little_WP_031_zpsngv4xfjd.jpg[/img]
I'd say that's great news. I'm looking forward to playing the game with you guys. I just hope it's more improved than the last OSWs even though I didn't get the time to enjoy the game after being caught up with my own time and schedule.
All aboard the Bullet Hype train. Next stop, Equestria.
WOO-HOOOOO! ovO
OMG!! I will be waiting for the applications. I won't miss this for anything in the world :D
Guess I should apply myself without hesitation when the applications come out!
This is what we've all been waiting for, for four years. Though would the game push users to download the latest version if an update was released? That's what I'm wondering about.

That is good to know. Is the criteria for choosing those lucky people public / can a place at the table be earned?
For a thousand years... I've waited.
At long last you can be mine.
I was just talking about this with my friend over skype, how I suspected there'd be an OSW soon. Now I check in and see this unexpected development. Guess it's time to get back in the habit of checking in daily.
Quote from: KrissyG05 on 2016 Jul 11, 07:20:51
This is very great to hear!!! :D But a question, what about a download?
The download will probably be there on the day of the OSW, if not a day or two before it starts.
Keep an eye out for news! :D
Eee! I cannot wait! This game was always so much fun and now finally I will be able to do all the quests!
Yeyeyeyeyyeyeyeyeyeye!!!!! ;D Oh My Gosh!!
O: So excited! Give me my application now! ^-^ Legends of Equestria is the best in the business!
(http://imgur.com/qr7ki9a.jpg) True magic
Definately going to do that December application. I've been to so many OSWs that I've lost count... :s But it would be great to help out with bug testing, etc. on a more frequent basis. I wonder if being in a computer related field will help...
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! It's been 85 years! :D
OMG I get to play the game for the first time maybe
WOOOO I can't wait! Quick question, though: do you have to be over 18 to sign up for the truely open servers? (I'm talking about once they permanently open in December)
OMG For good!? i cant wait!! :D i've been waiting for this day to come to hear this! and i cant wait for open server weekend :D <3
I can't wait!
Noodle Biscuit shall rise again!

Does this mean there are job applications before being in the LOE for life, or does that mean registering into the forum like newcomers always should do...? -- Oh, LAR procedures are on the way? Huh. o.O
SO, December marks the full alpha release of the LoE MMO that we've been anticipating for 5 years, eh? Surely it'll eventually update into Beta territories...! :P
P.S.: PLEASE LET THERE BE ACCESS TO THE CASTLE OF THE ROYAL SISTERS.

Yes... Yes!! YES!! O:
I'm so looking forward to it!! I've always spent a lot of time on every weekend, and was really loving the recent changes we were seeing! I'm so excited to see what's new since January! :D
(Though this thing kinda sounds like an application process, which may imply that people will be left out of this and I'm super worried about not being able to play in December, but I'll worry about that later!)

It's been awhile. It's very exciting news, I only wish there was something for me to do, since I'm a lonely wolf pony. I pretty much explored everything and decided to complete quest after when game will officialy come out due of bugs, constant disconnections and very long loading screens.
Skills, minigames, interactive features - please let it happen! :D
Anyways, it's good to see the progress of this game ;)
This is awesome I can't wait. I hope I can play this game with out being sick the one time i played it This Game Rocks
This is going to be awesome! The game has made it so far, its great to see a Limited Access Release. I have to give credit to the devs of this game for making it this far and to continue with the hard work. See everypony in the OSW and Limited Access Release. ^-^

Neat
I'm soo glad the OSW isn't any later. I'm going on a trip on August 1st(Or maybe July 31st), so I just make it.
SO FREAKING HYPED
(and happy)
I've been participating in OSW's since the one in July 2013 and it's hard to believe that this project is nearing the point where it will be permanently open. I've met many good people in this fandom and have been impressed by the hard work and love that has been injected into this game. I'm really hoping you guys will have a donation box or something sometime in the future. I feel like I've been mooching off you. I may not be smart enough to help with the development of the game but I would like to show my appreciation somehow.
Until then, happy trails into the magical lands of imagination and wonder. Have a good day.

Don't understand the limited access part. I understand you have to apply to get into the server in december, but then will it be open to the public for good? So people that apply get into the servers sooner? Can anyone help me with this please? :s

*If I'm not completely accurate, I apologize.
From what I understand, the Limited Access Release is effectively a closed beta reserved for the accepted applicants.
Once enough time has happened, and the game is determined to be ready for a complete release, then a full release will happen, and everyone can come into the land of Equestria.
If I'm wrong anywhere in that, then hopefully I'll be corrected.

The limited access will be like a closed beta where at first people who get chosen from the sign-up they will do. Let's say 100 people sign up and the want maybe 50 or so they take the 50 from the people who signed up and allow them to play before everyone else. Then after some time they might (not sure about this part though) do a new sign-up and allow 50 more in or maybe even open it up to the public for everyone to play. I hope I was of some help.
Oh boy! I can't wait! But, the limitted access? That's new now. Does that mean only like few players will be choosen? I don't know what to expect, but I know I will TOTALLY be there on July 29. I'm sweating! ^-^

What Limited Access means, in this case, from what I can gather, is applying for a slot in being able to play LoE as much as you want(unlike an OSW).
I'd suggest waiting for a definite answer on what's involved with limited access by either our PR team or a team lead. I know I have not heard anything about the process yet so it's not completely defined what is going on for that.
Public Relations will keep you all updated. Thanks!
How i interpret limited access.
They will give access to a select few people at a time.
How i think a more logical way of releasing it would be.
Give everyone access and just put server limits and a que.
Oooh my gosh!!!! So hyped! Also, can anyone/all ages apply? Cause I'm still a small child hehe X3 Cheers! <3
wow.... im so excited to play that game... i really want to play and make a friends ppl.. :D X3 lol

There is clearly going to be a storm of ponies once they open the servers, I feel like they may get overrun. I hope they make it so ponies get a limited amount of time in-game, so that others may also enjoy the experience. But maybe it will go fine, who knows? :]

To my knowledge, we've always had Mac versions available for the game, but I don't use Mac, so I don't pay attention much.
i have a question why cant the servers be opened for ever :c
Quote from: Puffe on 2016 Jul 16, 08:31:23
i have a question why cant the servers be opened for ever :c
Because it's easier for the staff and owners to update and add more into the game while it's offline, then open the servers for the public so they can test things out and we can all have fun! They also add more objectives and textures, meshes, sounds, etc. The whole team works hard when it's offline, then it opens for a short while to make sure everything is up to standard and working.
It could also be for another reason, but this is the most popular I've seen stated. ^-^

Hi! Do you know? I put LOE on the server again to tell the news to my pony friends, they are very happy to be able to re play LOE!! :D
YAY! :D
This youtube link was my exact reaction to this news !

Wonderful news!
Let us hope that LoE has worked out the teleport crashing/logging out issue this time, or very soon.
Post Merge
after a few deep breaths i am over the excitement of that news, i had a few thoughts. ( strange, but true )
Firstly, how do we get everyone of pokemon go to log into the game when its up? ovO
secondly, if we do this, will everyone rush to get in here and lockup or crash the servers? O:
thirdly, i think its time i stopped worrying about all these thoughts! lol

Yes, it does and will work on Mac. I've used it on OS X for several past OSEs. Windows simply tends to be the majority of users.

In October of 2015 we announced that Legends of Equestria was entering alpha, and since that time our dedicated team has been working extremely hard to bring our vision of Equestria to you. It's been a long road, and you've been nothing but patient and supportive of us, so it is with our extreme pleasure that this year at BronyCon, we made an exciting announcement:
This December, Legends of Equestria will begin opening its servers starting with a limited access release!
What does that mean? Well, allow us to explain! In the coming weeks, we will be opening applications to the public to join us this December in playing Legends of Equestria. But not just for a weekend - when you enter Equestria this December it will be for good!
I hope you're as excited as we are about this announcement, so excited in fact that we're celebrating with one more Open Server Event! Join us Friday, July 29th to Sunday, July 31st and help us to commemorate this awesome milestone by having one more Sugarcane Corner party before we open our doors for good!
Stay tuned in for more information on how to apply to the Limited Access Release, as well as the upcoming Open Server Event. These are exciting times and we can't wait to share them with all of you!
Well, two great things happen this weekend! Mario Kart CTGP-R releases it's Time Trial update(Gonna try to win a Wii) AND LoE opens it's servers! But a Limited access release?
The hype just exploded....But, Ellowee, do you think the servers can handle it?
I hope I can get some friends in LOE open server time
learning English
I don't mean to bother any-pony by saying this and this might be a bit too early to ask this kind of question, but does anyone know what are the requirements in order to play Legends of Equestria? :)
I have a video showing the requirements from the last open server weekend
(pause at 0:33 on the video) and I'd like to know if the requirements have changed (because of the new update) or if they are still the same.Thanks <3

All I know is that I was able to play it on an HP Chromebook 14(i think there's a newer model now, if so, I mean the older one). It lagged, but it ran. That's as low of specifications as I know runs the game.
The 29th can't come fast enough! O:
Question -- Will the game open up for play at the usual time, as done from previous OSWs? At 00:01am EST on Friday?

I was curious about this also, or well- more about if you would have a countdown timer like you've had in the past. Then everypony would be able to keep an eye on it, and know exactly the moment the game starts! ^-^

Theres a countdown on the Legends of Equestria wiki :D
will updates still happen after release ?

Of course we will.
There is the potential of expanding the world three times as large of what it is right now.
We have a lot of places and functionality planned that has not yet been fully implemented.
I can't wait for the game to finally come out!

Of course there are going to be uptades! Listen to what BlubSpammd sayed ^-^ . Then we are all going to party about the december Open Servers and fot the new game uptades :D
Wait, what do you mean by "Limited Access Release"???
You mean it's gonna open forever but with just limited spot? Or does it just mean the game is going to open forever?
Sorry, I'm french, so as much as I understand a lot of english, I'm not sure of what it means!
Quote from: White Chaos on 2016 Jul 24, 19:41:51

That is what it is. The game will be released, but only some can get in. When that time comes, the game will be open longer than any open server event.

There is? O: I wouldn't know unfortunately, as both my phone and laptop for some reason have great difficulty loading wikis, thus I try to avoid them often. x3 It's fairly annoying though, since I know a lot of info can be found on the wiki. Perhaps I'll try my phone again this time around, I know there's no way my computer could handle both the game and wiki at the same time. =P

THREE TIMES!? Actually, it makes sense- just to hear you say it though, it feels great! :D I can't wait to see what sort of worlds and other places there are going to be, this game is going to be huge and amazing and awesome... at least, even more so than it is already! ^-^

It means that the servers will be opened the whole December, I am not sure for this answer. I think that simK46 will give you a better answer :D

Probably when Legends of Equestria goes Beta or during the full Beta release...! :/

Yessssssss!!!!
after a long time without playing
I hope to win as the last time 5,000 bits

so
the game will be available for everyone soon? <3

Omy! :D I'm so excited! I remember watching a video about this game a REALLY long time ago and since then I've wanted to play! :3
As we rejoice with the wonderful news of LoE game being open after all these years, we must take a moment to reflect. This project made it all the way here without being stopped and/or destroyed by the C&D BS. We lost good projects along the road, like certain Pony Based TCG, or certain Fighting Game with Equines.
Everypony, let's dedicate one moment to the memory of those projects that didn't make it :c

@Thundergirl Original post claims joining Equestria in December
will be for good.
I'm going to assume the servers will be up much longer than just December.
I bet we'll still keep playing the full Alpha release whilst newer regions will be added in the full Beta release.
But as for the full Beta release, should we start all over on our progress, once the transfer the is in motion...? :s
OMG OMG OMG!!! SO EXCITED!! It's been so long! I only just started playing this game on the last open server party, so I'm really excited to hear that the game is nearly out for good! I hope to see you guys at the open server party! Have fun everypony! ^_^

I'm thinking it might have to do with the software itself. Maybe when they set it up for players to enter it again they forgot to allow non-LoE staff to enter?
Yeah. It seems all of the staff got in just fine.
Please help me, after I updated the game, I tried to log in, but it said, Not updated, or something like that. And I kept restarting the game but it didn't work, so I uninstalled the game and I downloaded it again, but when I try to look for it on my computer, I search, Legends of equestrian, but the only thing that comes up is Loe_data thing something like that, (Lol) I don't know if anyone can answer this because its not really about the game, but if you can, plz PM me or reply :(

Have you guys tried the download links outside of the launcher to see if it helps?
I do understand that,
A limited access release it meant that there is only a handful of people that would be able to join on the servers.
I've been doing stuff like this since 2010 on other games that were coming out. To my interest anyway.
I do hope when the applications come out that there would be a good approval percentage rate.
Yay , you have all done a great job ^_^.
Wait... Does that mean that on some people can play the game full time, or that everybody can play after a while. Anyway, all aboard the hype train!

WAIT WHAT???
So let me get this, we'll have to send an aplication, and then they'll accept it or deny it? WHAT???
Well, I was imaginating it a different way, I though they'll give the spot to the first one to aply! Well I guess that works too but it gets me worried! There's nothing I can do to be sure I'll be in! I was literally checking the website every 30 minutes to see if there was nithing new!
Welp, now I guess we'll have to figure out if they'll pick them randomly or if they'll choose depending on what we will write in...
So, when we can aply, if I don't get choosen, tell my boyfriend I love him!
If I somehow miss registration for full access release can I still buy it? Also is it first come first serve, lottery based, or does everyone who registers gets in?

There's usually a good chance that people would be approved to have the OFFICIAL Release download to your email.
However, the games I played were huge and had thousands of players playing closed beta. But for a game like this built on Unity, I'm sure that there's a limit of just how many players can be on the servers. There are 3 servers. The Europe Server and 2 USA Servers.
Within time, there would probably be another EU Server or 2 more and maybe 1 more USA Server.
I'm blabbing off again.. Anyway, basically you have to fill an application for the Limited Access Release. I do not know when those will be posted, probably either in October or November of this year. In December, does not say what day the servers officially opened to those selected for the Limited Access Release. Basically you could say it's a Closed Beta. I'd appreciate if a MOD here could backup this and clarify it better than I could.
In the end mate, it's FIRST COME. FIRST SERVE.
I hope this helps you with any confusion you may have!
Cheers! :D
Can't wait for it to be out :3 , hope to see everypony there ^_^ X3
Most interesting news to have received that is for sure and can't wait as this has been what all of this has been about from the start, And now that it is coming round to it and since i never do post about anything on these forums and am mainly only active everyday in the chat, Thought it would be something different to make an appearance on this momentous occasion i'm sure many of you are also most excited for this in one way or another, And was even more apparent from what was seen and felt from everypony this time but amazingly these sorts of departing events we experience and share as they have happend will be over soon for the closed beta test, Huzzah but if i can draw from other such events we have been lucky to of been included in even if there is a few that would not make the early beta tests i would not be too worried or downhearted, As when things reach that stage of development things start to move fairly fast and should not be all that long from then till the others would be reunited, But that is only drawing on past experiences and as always things are not identical in every situation and can be different but there is always here's hoping because it's always most fun when we're all there together doing what it is that we do and that in itself is magic. <3
P.s Can't wait till we get to pony pony and have fun with you all again be well and stay safe.

Thanks, so it's still the law of the first one to get the spot heh?
I'd like to be nice and all but I'm gonna be honest, 'till I get my spot, it's everypony for themself!
So get your keyboard ready, because there's no way you'll be faster than me, from now on, I check this site every 4 hours! Even at night!
I have a question
If you will open December servers have limited access as I apply to have access to this limited ???
:I
Well, Then there's no option but check this site everyday. I want a spot on the limited access and I'll fight for it! ovO

Yes,
if you've read two of my previous posts regarding this, it says on the post there will be applications to get a spot to be part of the official limited access release. Spots will be LIMITED until they can open it up to everyone.
This December 2016 will be the official opening of the game but again, you have to get a spot to be part of the opening. It's pretty simple actually.
You apply for a spot as soon as the apps come. Which my prediction is either October or November when those will be released as it comes closer to release.
Not everyone will get to be part of the grand opening of the servers for good! D:
Hope this helps you mate. 0:)

Then is settled! May the best Pegasister and Brony (Ladies first I'm a gentlecolt ^-^) win!
On my side good luck to everyone who will try to get a spot on the limited access for December ^-^
I'm highly scared I won't make the cut on the application or I won't make it on time, as some people said it's "first come, first serve"...
I love this game and I have the blue for it not being here.
I hope that this game's full release won't take too long to come out after the December limited access...
Here's a prayer for all those who won't make the limited access release. 0:) 'Cause it certainly won't be me. I'm getting an Add-on to notify me as soon as the site updates, and as soon as I do, the limited access is as good as mine...at least if I get accepted, which is what scares me most.
Anyhow, can any staff member confirm that the full-release won't be too long after the December limited-access? Please? D:

You don't worry before time. It is better to wait and see how they will choose the people for the limited access, lets wait and see how the application for the limited access of the game. For now all we can do is keep checking this site for news about those applications. ^-^
No sense in worry now when we don't even know how the applications will be handled don't you think? So cheer up and don't give up yet! :D
Woohoo!
Very, very excited. :D
I do hope that lots of ponies get to play in December.
Yes! I ended up missing the last server opening, so knowing when the full game is ready is awesome. ;)
@DrMurdershy QuoteIn the end mate, it's FIRST COME. FIRST SERVE.
The application process for LoE has not been announced, yet. Therefore do not quickly assume such a notion, please.@White Chaos QuoteSo let me get this, we'll have to send an aplication, and then they'll accept it or deny it? WHAT???
Again, no application process has been detailed. Please be patient.
As O. Vannen said, there is yet to be an announced method of how the closed Beta will be distributed. Do know, though, that it will be a fair method to ensure everyone has a chance at it without having to deny themselves of sleep or other responsibilities. Please be patient, as this method will be publicly announced at the best time for both you and us alike.
What will happen to the Forums and to the chatbox in Defember?
They'll still be up and active.
My birthday is in December, it'd be awesome to get into the alpha.
Such a beautiful game!!!! Can't wait to play it in December! Besides, my birthday is in December! :D
My birthday is on December too. On December 19 :D
That's why I'm fighting for a chance to get a spot on the limited access, I want it to be a sort of birthday gift for me if I manage to get it :3
Wait, the December release will be a Beta and not an alpha? Makes it even better!
Can't wait for the application to open, I'll be sure to send my best. Hoping to get in, assuming I actually remember to find a way to get notified of it.
Can't wait!
Yay! I hope that will open public! ^-^
O: :3
I happened to be moving the weekend of this last OSW, so I was only able to get a few glorious minutes of playtime in (when I found out I wouldn't have any wifi access for the entire weekend I was like D: D: D: D: ). I'm SUPER excited for the permanent release!!! This is seriously my favorite game ever, like, on-par with Minecraft and Skyrim. I really really hope I'll make the cut for December!! 0:)
that sounds wicked, i haven't played the game since erm 2014, i think? its been a long time. i always miss the open weekends lol
GHOLY HHHHH!!!!! finally!!!!
I can't wait to see the devs hard work!!!! <3 <3
I have missed every open weekend so far! >:O
Due to no one's fault but my own. :P
But, this news of a full game release is great news to me! :D
Now, if only I can find a way to be one of those that get to join in after it is ready in December.
Seeing how many may wish to be there too, I fear I may not make the cut, however it is each person is chosen to being able to start in this. :s
I must be able to join, or I may be forced to hack the system and release an onslaught of W.O.W. mohawk grenades on everyone. ovO
Just kidding, I can't do that even if I wanted to. X3
Still, it will be cool being able to try this out sometime, even if I have to wait till some time next year, till more can join than the first few exclusive picks.
One day. One Day! I will eventually see you all there. ;)
AAAAHHH!!! CANNOT. WAIT! Omg!!!
I wonder if there will be new features? :D
Hmm. I hope they fix how it looks when you put a helmet on. Your hair just....disappears.... :/
Anyways! I'm so excited!! :D :D :D
This is very exciting!
Does anypony know if there is a sign up sheet? Or is this just random?

Hi MythicStar!
Once the details are finalized, that information will be made public. Until that point, keep watching the website for updates!
If you have any more questions, feel free to message me!
I cannot wait to play this game! ^-^
I can't wait for December, I did not play the last two OSWs because there should be no servers in my country. I hope the team adds more servers too.
O: O: O: O: O: O:YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!#pony4life
I can´t wait to play it again! :) I´m so excited! :D
SQUEEEEEE!!!!! Can't wait for this to come out! :P Just hope i don't forget to apply when its december >.<
I am proud to announce that I was going to ask when it will be possible to apply, but I took my time and read the existing comments, and found my answer. Now I don't need to ask and waste anyone's time.
However, it is true that by writing what you are reading right now I am wasting people's time anyway. Why am I writing this? Why am I even writing anything?
Well, you see, there are people who don't search for whether their question has been asked before and just ask it anyway.
And then there are people who do look it up, and likely find an answer.
And then they leave. You don't get to acknowledge them. You only see the repeated questions from the ones who didn't search. And you know what that means? Exactly! It gives the readers a feeling that nobody searches, and everyone reposts! By readers I mean not the readers of this post, or this topic, or this forum for that matter. It's all over the Internet. In some places, you might be a dedicated reader. Elsewhere, you don't know much about what's going on and want to ask something. On one side you are exposed to the effect of selective nature of posts I described above, and on the other side you have the choice of either looking up or reposting.
So this is what encourages you not to search before asking. In part.
For you see, there is another phenomena with a great impact on the matter. Surely you remember the last time you encountered a road block in the task you were assigned, and you went to your manager and asked "Hey, what do I do now?", and the manager was like "Why don't you just try this?", and it was such a simple solution you couldn't believe you didn't think of on your own? It was something you knew about, and could have easily figured out on your own if you gave it a couple minutes and were determined to do it yourself.
What am I getting at here?
The bottom line is that, if you try, you can avoid this mentality of helplessness and find a way to realize that things that seem impossible can be accomplished if you really accept that you have control of these things.
~Veritasium, 2015,
can't wait! greaaaat. X3

When will I get it? When will I get it?

I so cannot wait. :D I had a lot of fun the open weekend I played on this recent summer.
