Hey again, everypony! We all hope you're doing well, and this year's treating you all kindly so far; as kindly as you have all treated us, for the past twelve years.


That's right, the Legends of Equestria project has been running for over twelve years now! (If you really want to dig into the ancient lore, there might be a couple of years before that too...) It's hard to believe that we've kept this dream going for so long. A lot of faces have come and gone in that time, and the game has been through transformations, continuous improvements, changes, and more than a few bugs across those years, but the one consistent point has been the love and support you've all provided us.


Whether you've been around since the forums kicked off, first played the game at an early convention, joined us on an Open Server Weekend, gave your precious feedback during our Limited Access Release, hopped on board at the start of the Open Access Release in 2017, arrived with the mobile versions of the game, wandered in at any point over the six-and-a-bit years, or just signed up yesterday, we want you to know that we appreciate every single one of you and the time you've given to our little horse world.


The Legends of Equestria team have always been steadfast that we wouldn't take any player money; LoE would always be free, and we'd support the cost of running the game through passive advertisements on our website and forum. This has worked excellently for twelve whole years, but recent days have seen that funding start to run dry. It's prompted some tough discussions within the team, and we've come to a difficult conclusion: in order to prolong the lifespan of the game as a whole, it's time to sunset the Europonia server. We love everyone who has chosen, or continues to choose, that region as their play location; unfortunately, though, the player count there simply isn't enough to justify the expense, and what it would mean for the longevity of the project as a whole. As such, the Europonia server will close in two weeks, on April 30th, 2024.

This doesn't mean that Equestria is disappearing; the Amareicas server will keep going, accessible to everyone, and all of the ponies on your account that you've played as on the Europonia server will be available on Amareicas too! Those of you who live farther from that server's location may find that the server has higher latency than you're used to, however, but we promise to do everything we can to try and smooth out such issues!


Now, this is obviously going to prompt some other questions about the game, so we want to assure you that we will keep Equestria alive for as long as we can; that's the exact reason why we're reducing our server count, in fact. The whole team is dedicated to the effort we, and all the team members who have moved on across the past twelve years, put into making this experience for you; we won't let all of that go to waste. Discussions are ongoing as to what the next steps are for Equestria, and for our development team; we'll share all of that information when the time is right.

I know this is sad news, but please don't feel too disheartened; we still have plenty in the works, and are excited to show you everything new that we're working on. There's plenty more in store from us lot, so we hope to see you in Equestria - and beyond - very soon!

Hey there, everypony!

And what better way to celebrate the season than with the latest Winter 2023 update for Legends of Equestria - now available for download on our website!
As always, you can find the full list of changes on our changelog!. But let's get to some highlights!





Starting with the most obvious; Winter has descended upon Equestria, covering its land in snow once more!
And not only that - but so has the festive spirit - so if you haven't already, you can now earn the seasonal costume for this time of year through Ensemble's usual quest!






Not only that, but our ponies have found themselves experimenting with new styles - as such, not only have certain crystal eyes be catching the eyes of every pony, several new mane and tail styles are now available to be seen across Equestria!





But fashion doesn't stop at just the manes, now does it? Embrace the chill with the all-new Winterzilla costume! Hidden within presents scattered across Equestria, this frosty ensemble is sure to make you the talk of the winter carnival. Complete with an icy flair and a touch of whimsy, Winterzilla is the perfect way to showcase your seasonal spirit!





That's not everything, of course! There's plenty of other changes listed on our changelog post, ranging from further quality-of-life improvements to new cosmetic items to general bug fixes.

Hey again everypony! Hope you're all keeping well in this crazy ol' world of ours. Over in Equestria, it's rolling around to Hallowtide time, so we figured it was a good opportunity to release an update; that means v2023.04.01 is now available to download!

As with our previous updates, if you'd like to read through the entire list of changes and additions, you can check out our changelog post... but here's a little taster of what we've got in store for you this time!


With Hallowtide on the horizon, all your favourite locations have put their decorations up, Ensemble's gearing up to make the spookiest costume ever again, and some ponies are ready to give out candies to all the fillies and colts! Let's hope it's enough to appease the spirt of the dread pirate Black Flag for another year...


As you can already tell, Hallowtide is a time for everypony to break out their favourite costumes; to help with that, we've added a couple of new ones! Whether you'd like to traverse the depths beneath the sea as a kelpie, or show off your fiery nirik spirit, we've got you covered!


A few new quests have made their way into the game too! Would you like to help your classmate Wanda with her investments, or investigate the rumours of the legendary batmare? Who knows what new stories might unfold! (Well, we do. We wrote them, after all.)


We've also added another brilliant menu art submission, as well as a fantastic new music track to go with it! We really love featuring these pieces from our dedicated community, and we hope you like seeing them too! Remember, if you'd like to see your own artwork featured in-game, you can get all the information on submission process over here.


There's plenty more in this release; some improvements to the friends system, a few optimisations to help with the game's performance and stability, and a whole smorgasbord of fixes that range across the entire game!  My personal favourite is the one that reduces the 'gem bomb' attack from thermonuclear status, meaning it's no longer audible from the other side of the map.

As always, the full details of what's included in this version can be found in the changelog. If you're playing using our Windows launcher, your files should update automatically; other platforms may need to visit our downloads page to get hold of the latest game files. If you're playing on mobile, you may need to visit your app store to prompt the update!


Thanks as always for all your support, everypony! Seeing you enjoy what we've crafted is what makes all our efforts worthwhile. We hope you like what this update brings, and we'll see you in Equestria very soon!

Hey again, everypony! It's time for another update to our wonderful world of equines; v2023.03.02 of Legends of Equestria (don't ask about v2023.03.01, it never happened, you saw nothing) is now available to download!

As always, you can read through the full list of changes on our changelog post, but here's a little highlights reel of some of the things we think you might notice first!



Probably the most notable change this time around is the range of new movement features and improvements. Earth ponies have been the main focus here; they can now perform midair dives, dashes, and even double-jumps! These abilities should help even out the playing field between the three playable races a little.


That's not to say we left everyone else out, though; unicorns gain a new telekinesis ability, allowing them to manipulate some in-world objects! I can only imagine the chaos this is going to cause, and we're looking forward to seeing what you all do with it.


We've also been working on ways to help players find their way around the world, especially when it comes to following quests. You can now select a quest from your journal, giving you a pointer to help find that one NPC who's been hiding from you all this time!


Paying to dye your socks doesn't make quite as much sense when you're standing right next to an endless supply of coloured liquid, does it? Luckily, the rainbow waterfall in Cloudopolis can now be put to use! Just make sure nobody's drinking from downstream when you do it, eh?


Our library of main menu themes continues to grow, thanks to more submissions from our creative and talented community! If you'd like to submit your own design to feature in-game, please check out all the information and rules for submission here.

As usual, that's far from everything; plenty of bug fixes and reworkings are included - again, for the full details, check out the changelog. If you're playing using our Windows launcher, your files should update automatically; other platforms may need to visit our downloads page to get hold of the latest game files. If you're playing on mobile, you may need to visit your app store to prompt the update!

There's plenty more to come for LoE, in 2023 and beyond, but we hope you enjoy what we've made so far! We'll see you in Equestria!

Hey there everypony! It's been a little while since we last spoke! All of us on the LoE team hope you're doing well in this crazy ol' world of ours!

We've all being doing our best to make Equestria the best world it can be for you, and we hope you enjoy all of our latest improvements, as we make our first major release of this year, the Spring 2023 update, available for download! As always, this version is available for download from our website, from the launcher, and from your web app store!

You might have guessed by now, but the full details of this release are available from our changelog; check below for our highlights, though!


As always, Winter Warm-Up has rolled around! Check in with Check List in Ponydale for your seasonal charges to help ward away the winter blues, and welcome in the tides of spring to Equestria!


We've also made a big addition to our chat system, adding custom emojis to help liven up your interactions in Equestria! We're also experimenting with player character interactions a bit more - so the next time you greet a friend in game, why not offer them a hug?


We've added some new attacks and effects to our enemies too, to make combat a little more engaging. Why not try your luck against the Rock Golems, and see how you fare, with their new range of animations?


That's far from everything, of course! New Talent Mark options, new music tracks, a new weather system in White Tail Woods, new player animations, a rebalance of Hypnosis abilities, and much more awaits you in Equestria!


As always, if you're playing using our Windows launcher, your files should update automatically; other platforms may need to visit our downloads page to get hold of the latest game files. If you're playing on mobile, you may need to visit your app store to prompt the update!

Hey again, everypony! Seasonal greetings to you all, as temperatures begin to plummet across Equestria! Snow is blanketing the landscape, and everypony's getting into the holiday spirit... that can only mean one thing: it's time for Legends of Equestria's Winter 2022 update! v2022.05.01 is now available for download, from our website, from the launcher, and from your mobile app store!

As per usual, the full details of what's included in this release can be found in our changelog; here's a few of our personal highlights to give you an idea of what's in store for you this winter, though!


Starting with perhaps the most obvious thing: winter is here in Equestria, and that means the usual seasonal changes! Snow blankets some of the towns, and festive cheer can be found across the land - and once again, if you haven't already, you can earn the seasonal costume for this time of year through Ensemble's usual quest - though a new tail component is now available, even to those who have already completed the quest! Just visit him in the Crystal Kingdom to get yours.


That isn't the only big thing you'll notice this time around, though! We've been reworking how movement works, and have created a new Stamina system for sprinting and flying. Now, rather than draining the energy you use for other abilities, the stamina bar will be depleted! The clip above should give you a clearer idea of how it works. You can change how stamina appears in the game settings (not on mobile, unfortunately, due to screen size constraints); hopefully this separation will improve the gameplay for everypony!

Given that this is a new system and a fairly big change, though, you can expect plenty of tweaking in future updates, as we correct the balance, adapt to how things work in practise, and take on board your feedback!


Another fun mechanic to play with: snowballs! We've been improving the game's physics and collision, and this serves as a good example of the kinds of things we're hoping to add in the future - but also, as I said, it's a lot of fun! Try launching them using Seismic Buck! These are currently available in the Heartlands.


Some enemies have also received a special holiday gift: new skills! Diamond Dogs can bombard you with gems, Frost Dragons will launch waves of ice, and watch out for the Lantern Monster's supernova blast!


Our community's artistic skill continues to impress and honor us, and we're proud to be able to feature two more pieces as menu themes; big thanks to RandomTeeHee and WishfulDorian for their submissions!


That's far from everything, of course! New winter-themed clothing is available, a hotkey for booping has been added (finally!), some GUI elements have been reinvigorated (particularly the in-game bank), and there's a whole lot more to find that has been changed, added, or fixed. Remember, you can always take a look at our changelog for the full details!


If you're playing using our Windows launcher, your files should update automatically; other platforms may need to visit our downloads page to get hold of the latest game files. If you're playing on mobile, you may need to visit your app store to prompt the update!


That's everything for this update! We hope you enjoy your time in Equestria, and are looking forward to everything the new year will bring; we're certainly excited to see what more we can bring to this little horse world of ours, and we can't wait to share it all with you! See you there!

Hey again, everypony! We're just dipping towards the spookiest time of year, so it's time to get into costume, with Legends of Equestria's newest release, v2022.04.01, now available for download!

As always, you can check out our full changelog for all the details of this update, but here's just a few highlights for you to know about!


Obviously, with it being October, the in-game season has shifted; Hallowtide has come to Equestria once more, and the seasonal decorations are up - along with a few new ones!


This also means that the usual seasonal costume quest events have also been enabled, along with some new styles available from your friendly neighbourhood graveyard keeper (for some reason)!


A major addition we hope you'll enjoy is a suite of new, main storyline quests that our writing team have been hard at work on; we consider this 'Act One' of the main storyline for LoE, so check out what all your school friends are up to, and learn more about the story we have planned for the future! And speaking of your childhood chums, a raft more character avatars have been added for the Mane Cast, to add a bit more personality to their dialogue!


The Mining talent has seen some love too; new tools are available, and a variety of rocks are now scattered across the landscape, meaning that all our dreams of becoming true rock farmers can finally be realised! You guys all had that same dream, right?


Some new attacks and animations have been designed, hopefully making combat more interactive; my personal favourite is this draconic meteor barrage that is sure to make them a more challenging fight!


The in-game world map has seen some more love, with clearer labels added to help you navigate around Equestria just a little easier than before!


And one less-visually-interesting-but-still-major change to note: enchanted armours are now crafted using the enchant skill available to unicorns, rather than the artisan Talent. We've also added a host of new artefacts that can be enchanted, though, so you can take your protection and style to the next level!


That's far from everything, of course; there's a whole smorgasbord of bug fixes included in this release, and we just rolled out a fairly major upgrade to our back-end server architecture (you may have noticed the game going offline this weekend while we worked on this) which should help us to improve stability going forward. As always, I would recommend checking out the full changelog if you want every detail of our changes for this version of the game!

If you're playing using our Windows launcher, your files should update automatically; other platforms may need to visit our downloads page to get hold of the latest game files. If you're playing on mobile, you may need to visit your app store to prompt the update! For Android users, please note that their verification of this version release is taking a little longer; you may have to wait a while before this release goes live for you!

That takes us to the end of this summary! We hope you enjoy everything we worked on for this version release, and we look forward to seeing you all in Equestria very soon!
