Title: Thank you for playing in our open server weekend!
Post by: Ellowee on 2014 Jan 27, 04:27:34
Hello, everyone!

Thank you for playing on our open server! We had a super-fun time, and we learned a lot. I hope you all had fun, and we will be sure to have another open server event soon.

We loved having you playing out game. If you want to submit screenshots, videos, or otherwise, feel free to post in this thread here: http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=9902.0

Thanks again, all!

Then it was over...

At least I had the final post on my server.

Thunder Jet: Yay

And I was right about to say
">Ellowee announces end of weekend
>still playing"

And then the server went down <XD

I had fun though. Can't wait for another one next year :D

I wish it didn't have to end... Sure, the chat was clunky, there wasn't much questing, but the experience! The experience was magical! To be able to explore Equestria and hang around with your fellow bronies... It was magic.  ono

I'll miss you all! it was such a grand time!
I probably should have spent my Sunday on homework, but I'm hoping by the end of this week I'll still think it was worth it! Hope with me!

Had a great time at the end there. At first I felt a little miserable about it on Thursday night, but as the days went by I began to enjoy myself. Can't wait till the next test.

Aw darn it, I missed most of it! Didn't get to play with my friends as we planned! >.<

I was hoping they'd extend it for a day instead of four hours. I'm a sad bunny right now. :s

Just want to say thanks for letting us in to see what has happened. I have loved seeing the progress that has been made and must thank you guys for tying up the login issue! It's been a blast, looking forward to the next one :)

This was the first time I ever moderated for a game, or moderated for something of this magnitude (LoE is such a HUGE project!) and while I still have room for improvement, I feel like I learned a lot and am eternally grateful for the opportunity and the experience ^-^

Hope to see you all again next time! :D

Next time, could you explain more clearly about the registering and logging in stuff? Maybe by introducing a readme file detailing the steps?
Many people didn't understand why they could not log in, until it was too late.

Post by: RandomnessInside on 2014 Jan 27, 08:00:53
It was wonderful! :3

My first time was the weekend before this one, and that time the game was remarkably different than the current, I was surprised how much it had improved :3 Also last time I only did quests and explored on my own, but this time I didn't do any quests at all but instead explored with other players - and made friends! :P

P.S. Allow private servers to be hosted so we could play more often! D:

Post by: PrizePossession on 2014 Jan 27, 08:10:17
I had an awesome time trying this out.

I didn't spend any kind of time doing quests or anything, I was just content exploring the maps and seeing what could be found. Also, made a couple of new friends on there which was a really pleasant surprise.

There were a couple of things that will need some attention (I found the chat needs some refining, and that there were a few buildings in Ponydale that didn't have any solidity/collision data), but I'm sure that will be ironed out in future revisions  ^-^

I can't wait to visit Equestria again! Well done to all involved!  :D

The open server days seem to be for stress tests, to see how well the servers fare when there's a bunch of ponies on it. The game isn't actually complete yet.

It might be a while before they open them again, but there'll be so much new content to see and hopefully their servers will be improved the next time. Be patient!

I really did enjoy the two hours I managed to squeeze in at the end. But that makes not being able to play it for an unknown period of time all the more sad. I had just discovered something I loved to play, and felt happier and more excited than I have in a long, long time. And now it's gone, for who knows how long. If only I knew when it will return. And if only it returned soon. I'd hope for next week, but that is almost assuredly impossible. Next month, too, seems unlikely. Best bets lie on three months or more.
No, I know, they have to make the game as good as they can. Quality reigns over the speed of the project. And if it takes them months, it will take them months, and it will be worth it.
But still... I just want to go back. And I want my friends to be back there, too. And I want to talk to people and run and jump and fly and do all sorts of things I didn't have time to do last night.
Well... my rambling aside, I had fun, and hope I get to play it again soon.

That would be nice. But, there's probably a reason the developers haven't done something like this. Maybe it's because the game wasn't (and isn't) ready enough for a full-time server. I don't know. I kinda hope that by now, the game's "okay enough" for people to enjoy it on a more frequent and regular basis. Their choice to make, though.

I remember last night with a smile. I'm going about collecting every last bit of everything to remember it by; friends' screenshots, chat logs, and I've managed to sort-of get a loop of the Cloudopolis night music, as that was where I spent most of my time. I'll remember it all fondly. And I look forward to the day when I can do it again, reunite with the ponies I met that night and meet another hundred.
I think talking about this has helped me accept having to wait as long as I need to. So, thanks, I guess.
On an unrelated note, I've got a friend who absolutely loves Pinkie. I think the two of you would get along remarkably.

Yeah probably :D I love myself too (as in being Pinkie Pie) And well... I did get alot of friends (I think above server average so maybe 60-70 ponyfriends) xD But when they put it back... I'll be there! *has Gummy* And he's coming with me!

Your welcome.

Even though I was unable to do my livestream/videos of myself playing it like I wanted to because of all of the problems that I should of known would happen.

Maybe I should just give up and not even try to do it anymore if you guys do a 4th one...

I don't know anymore.

All these problems... they're just... annoying...

And...

They're not being resolved...

The LOE test was amazing... there were a lot of glitchs but that's expected, once this game is finsihed I just migth leave LOTRO and play this! lol, one question though, I made a list of bugs I found so I could sent them to the programmers, might help them work it out and stuff, I'll be having all of my computers info and stuff in it so they know if it might be a problem with only ONE type of graphics card or something, but where would I submit this? But anyways the game is pure Friendship...and we all know that Friendship is magic!

I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade. Just wishing I actually had the chance to play. I'd had a lot of fun in the previous one, so I had anticipated a similar amount in this one - guess I shouldn't have been so hasty to assume. *shrug*

Well I was gonna say that it's my pleasure to be on this test once again even though this is the third time I've been into this game. I may be guessing that next test would be on summer (maybe), but We'll see how that works though. On the positive side, I just had fun looking around through the game, but I was just way too quiet to talk.

LoE was amazing though, but I just can't wait to see more and not to mention making how these servers suppose to represent for which or what regions so that's 1 question I like to know also Stabilizing the Servers as well. It may be laggy, but I can just deal (or afford what i can) with it.

Aw man. My bro told me about the server being open this weekend. He neglected to inform me that it was just open for the weekend. :s
I got plenty of time on there during the weekend despite the constant difficulties logging on or staying logged in.

I really enjoyed all the new areas and even the swim animation of the ponies. I explored areas that I don't think were supposed to be accessible, including the waterfalls that lead to death if you go far enough. :D

I can't figure out how to post pictures from my computer on here though.... o.O

[glow=red,2,300]Please tell me that we'll still have access to the ponies we created during the weekend[/glow]. I had to re-create my OC, and this time I created 2 more ponies. ;)


Can't wait for moar ponies!

Also, I noticed the creators changed the names of everything, including the names of the towns. I noticed that Ponyville was Ponymore or something. You guys forgot to change the title on Twilight Sparkle's library. I noticed on the 2nd floor of the library that it still had the name "Ponyville". [glow=red,2,300]Take a look at it, developers.[/glow]

I can't believe you are able to create such environments and actions on the scale you have. Just don't put too many textures or people's computers may have a hard time keeping  up. Mine's not one of them  0:)

This game was magical. I can't say that enough. I made one of each pony and all of them were great. I would have thought earth ponies would be boring, but that was a stupid thought. Running with a group of other ponies is just cathartic. Plus, I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves seeing all the OCs. I saw a group of six ponies who were similar to the mane six...but not. There was a Twilight Star, Apple Jake, etc.

I had problems with some controls, not all of them seemed to work. With Pegasus, key 7 "excited" didn't seem to do anything. Not sure if that's a glitch or maybe something on my end?

@ WritingRattler I saved all my pony export codes, I assume they work on the pony creator?
I'm an idiot for not testing this first. No it doesn't work. I'm sad  ono

In order to post pictures from your computer on here, host them on an image hosting website. The one I personally use is post img (http://postimage.org/), though I'm guessing you can use just about anything.

It might be a glitch because key 7 didn't work for me either.

Post by: albedoequals1 on 2014 Jan 28, 12:24:04
While the game may not be complete, it's complete enough to make me happy.  In fact, I spent the entire time I was in the game just running flying around looking at stuff.*-*  I would have expected a project of this scale to require Hasbro's funding.  I liked the fact that I could play on any server with the same characters, and I hope that feature is going to stay.

P.S. The sit, lay,  dance and facehoof animations are adorable   ;)

You created a sickening sweet and highly addictive game, frosted with a great community.
I already miss the spontaneous parties everywhere.  :D

PS:
I hope you manage to fix the chat randomly jumping to the topmost line. That really was driving me crazy  ovO

I asked Prismatic and he said he doesn't know yet but it's expected to be soon. I expect their servers are having some problems because they got like 3X the players they were expecting I heard, which is good, I like a game with a big community!
But yeah they said the chatpod should open up soon... I'm like checking every hour! lol

Indeed they should. Because, the first time I joined here in the LoE forums, the only thing I noticed was the chatbox and that was the only reason why I still may be on. If not, well, I won't be here too long unfortunately.

Makes me curious that the Chatbox was a key thing in the DDoS attack. Could've spammed it there and could cause problems.

I've heard of that happening, even with anti-spam (multiple recipients spam at once).

Hope the chat box is alright at this point.

A DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) attack (roughly speaking) usually involves a host computer remotely using a slew of "slave" computers to saturate a server with false packets, flooding it to the point that the overload causes a partial or complete denial of service.

The chatbox had absolutely nothing to do with this, it was shut down to give the mods one less thing to worry about over the weekend

I was completely mesmerized by all the improvements since last Open Server.

Especially the most I was amazed by how the Everfree/Evershade Forest had changed.
I'm glad I have lately invested on proper gaming machine so I was able to enjoy everything in game at highest possible graphics at highest possible framerate.

My frame rate was quite poor sadly, made flying as a Pegasus nigh impossible. So I mainly stuck to Unicorns and Earth ponies, the Earth pony was cool but the "extra bag space" thing didn't do much for me seeing as I never even got more then 4 items at a time, also I think people said they're faster but  didn't notice anything, So I mainly stuck to a Unicorn.

I must say the teleportation was done quite well! I can't remember the last game with good teleportation that didn't consist of basicly a dash with sparks, THIS teleportation was REAL teleporting!

The game is only half finished and my heart is full of love for it already, Programmers, moderators, music makers, and anypony else who helped make this...you guys/gals are awesome! lol

I didn't get to play due to the fact I was at Ohayocon. However that was the place I heard about the game. I look forward to having a chance to play it when the servers open again.

I came across a suspicious link: https://github.com/tux3/LoE-PrivateServer

Knowing that there is nothing on this website about this, I quickly created an account to post this. I presume it's some sort of exploit.

As well, I am terribly sorry for posting this here, if there was a better spot for it.

That is a private server somebody made using the files from the stress test
we knew about them right after they started hosting the server
We are not really going to go after them though we would prefer that they didnt host the private server
With our game being updated all the time that version becomes more out of date all the time

Then it was over...

At least I had the final post on my server.

Thunder Jet: Yay

And I was right about to say
">Ellowee announces end of weekend
>still playing"

And then the server went down <XD

I had fun though. Can't wait for another one next year :D
Wait, there is only an open server every YEAR?!  DD:  D: WHYYYYY and i wasn't on this year!  >.<

It's not yearly, they'll announce the next time they open the servers to the public.

Before Ohyocon they opened the servers in July last year so that was roughly 6 months

I'll have to make sure to check frequently so I can be in on the action for LoE next time!  :D

I'm rather sad that I missed it, though I look forward to getting started next time!
Also, in some videos I've seen, the names are different than in the show. Are these just different locations or is it due to some copyright thing?
Title: Re: Thank you for playing in our open server weekend!
Post by: Mayapple on 2014 Feb 18, 11:41:40
It's a copyright thing, DarianStephens.  They had to change the names to PonyDale, Sugarcane Corner, Applewood, Evershade Forest, Cloudopolis, etc.  Very creative, if you ask me.  I'd say my favourite name of the bunch would have to be the Evershade, though.

It's usually yearly though, it depends on progress and scheduling.

You're right about progress and scheduling, but saying it's yearly is an overestimation based on the previous ones and can actually be a bit misleading.  The time difference between the 1st and 2nd test was 10 months, and between the 2nd and 3rd 6 months.  To say it's a yearly thing and for there to have been a test in Jan 2014 people may assume there won't be another until 2015 when in theory(I bold that because it's only that), they could have a test in as little time as early august-october and still maintain the general time difference we've currently seen.

But as you said it also depends on progress and scheduling since they seem to like having these tests during conventions
