My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. I assumed it would've been an early alpha or something they were allowing users to download (I expected only certain users anyway). But nonetheless, I clicked and was greeted with this:
http://www.legendsofequestria.com/content/download DD:
But oh well, at least we know they're getting there. I might rather play the full later rather than the alpha anyways.
I was expecting a troll face. :P
What a shame.

I would have to say they're making good time, their probably halfway done with world creating, they'll probably hit the combat aspect last
Yeah, they are making pretty awesome progress. I believe they said they were supposed to just get multiplayer working in December, and I believe they had it started in September.
If I was to guess, I'd assume we would be nearing Public Beta sometime next summer, perhaps...?

Yup yup. Next up: Canterlot. Then, Cloudsdale. Then apparently Appleoosa. I'm really hoping they'll have Manehattan. And they said in Alpha, they'll work on balancing the races. The ponies aren't done yet at all. So I guess combat will have to wait until
after the races are balanced, considering you don't wanna work on combat mechanics and abilities while races are overpowered and unbalanced.
If you look at the FAQ, the only info they're giving out is the fact that they will have a lot of hats

There could be more stuff in the economy. Someone on the team said something about food. There could also be potions, armor, and "weapons."
I wonder when a download will be added, with how excited I am about this, I don't think I'd mind playing in Alpha. I started Minecraft in Beta =P

Alpha is when they'll work on balancing the races, though, so no one will be overpowered. ovO Putting a range on the unicorns' teleport, slowing down the pegasi's fast-flying speed, etc. Pretty sure they'll work on combat after the races are balanced.
So, will we be able to play in Alpha? I... don't know. But... I'm not sure I'd quiiiite want to?

Most people go by god, master, lord, overlord, messiah etc. So I wouldn't be a dictator. Just a god(ess?) lol
But to be serious, yes it's true. None have so far done a leap out of their bound. All is decided in team meetings. It worked for over 6 months, and it will keep working. After all it's an voluntary project.

Well then, have a meeting on whether or not to stick some form of a troll face onto the download page!
What about a trollface in the background that's hard to make out?
guys, I think they would want the game to look at least semi-professional so we do not need to place comic faces everywhere just so people can get a small laugh time to time
I would think the developers want their game to be taken seriously, I mean it is meant for a fun time and people to be social with others, they dont need little jokes around every corner that only certian people that have been here would get

"fun" "taken seriously" "flying ponies" "trolls everywhere" "professional"
Your statement does not compute.

First off, congrats for having 666 posts.
Secondly, a troll face on the download section does not instantly mean "Oh lol, jokes everywhere!"
I dunno, guys. Do we really need a troll face on that page? Without, it's like "Oh, it's not ready for download yet." For newcomers, if there's a trollface there, they might not be very amused. ".... >:/"

Won't be for a long while. They've only made Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres, and Everfree Forest. They still have at least three more places to build, they still need to balance the races, put finishing touches on the pony models, program combat, put in the abilities and whatnot ponies will be able to have, put in items we can get, set up the quests that they've written...
They might have already done some of those. Still, though, they have a ways to go. It's only Pre-Alpha.

Patience, my little pony.
I am very excited for the game, and I wish I could somehow support the devs. I would even donate if they had a button to do that :/
Alright i'll be waiting!
So, if there was an optimistic timeline, just how long might it be till we can download? Not to sound impatient, but I just wanna know your thoughts on the progress... :s
@Zygrograxgra: Your right, but I still feel we shouldn't put memes on the main webpages personally

I just realized they mention about the release date on the FAQ:
Quote from: FAQQ. When will the game be released?
A. As a team of volunteers, it is quite difficult for us to establish a permanent release date. We are working hard to finish the game as quickly as we can without letting it decline in quality, however an ETA will not be provided upon request.

Okay, so it's not that clear as to when it will be out. Good to know.

Exactamundo. :] The game probably won't be very playable until Beta, since the races and ponies are incomplete and will be worked on in Alpha.
That sucks o.O but ok I guess lol 0:)
I'm going to explode for joy once the download is out. Maybe twice. You can explode not only once, but twice, can't you? :0
when i first saw it i was like
well i know its not out yet... but lets get my hopes up...
*CLICK*

So, probably not any playing at all till at least beta, and that's not till December/next summer....Let the thumb twiddling begin! ovO

hate, no. Criticisms of being a mary sue godmodder, yes. Now, i am saying this as a roleplayer. As a side character in a fanfic, she would work if written correctly. BUT. As a main character, she would mainly be a mary sue. Readers generally like reading about ponies they can relate to, point at and say "that could be me standing there". They can't really relate as well to a demigod royal with uberawesome powers of omnipotent awesomeness.
And in games, aside from Pony Cosmology (which you are welcome to join), such god-tier players are likewise frowned upon, since they break the story by being effectively invincible. That is, every fight becomes a giant free "i win" event, which is generally not anywhere near as fun as seeing conflict and vulnerabilities.
Now, as an NPC, she might work also. A quest giver, a GM, etc. But as a player, generally speaking, overpowered.

i meant fantastically better in a power sort of way x3 attitude wise, being arrogant is a relatable personality trait that often builds depth.

She stopped using her powers. If I ever decide to write a fanfic with her (Pffftthhh, why should I?) she would be completely vulnerable. She would lose in a fight, all by her own want. She doesn't like winning anything. And she screws up on a lot of stuff. SHE IS NOT A MARY SUE! I hate when ponies think that everypony treats their alicorn OC's like they're flawless gods.

@Zygrograxgra: Your right, but I still feel we shouldn't put memes on the main webpages personally
@Princess DarkNight: watch the smiley spam
@Sketch: I have no idea...
I an terribly sorry about the smiley spam! It's so not royality like!
But i am quite excited!
BTW everyone Princess DarkNight is a alicorn pony and i made her up she is celestia's, luna's and cadence's cousin so when she married Shining Armor, she became related to twilight just to let all of y'all know
Cadence isn't one of the sisters its either cadence or luna or celestia.
Dont you think that O.C is a little too op?Your alicorn royalty related to the mane royalty ,and one pony from the mane six that saved equestria a few times.
I'm writing a fic abut two humans becoming canterlot royalty
*sigh* list of things not to do when making oc's:
Human in equestria
Self insert
Demigod/god
Ruler of any kind
Crucially related to mane characters in any way
Fantastically better than the common pony in any way
Please refer to original character discussion board for more things to do and not to do when making oc's.
I have an alicorn OC who is related to the princess', but she screwed up horribly and ran away. Will I get hate for it?
hate, no. Criticisms of being a mary sue godmodder, yes. Now, i am saying this as a roleplayer. As a side character in a fanfic, she would work if written correctly. BUT. As a main character, she would mainly be a mary sue. Readers generally like reading about ponies they can relate to, point at and say "that could be me standing there". They can't really relate as well to a demigod royal with uberawesome powers of omnipotent awesomeness.
And in games, aside from Pony Cosmology (which you are welcome to join), such god-tier players are likewise frowned upon, since they break the story by being effectively invincible. That is, every fight becomes a giant free "i win" event, which is generally not anywhere near as fun as seeing conflict and vulnerabilities.
Now, as an NPC, she might work also. A quest giver, a GM, etc. But as a player, generally speaking, overpowered.
She stopped using her powers. If I ever decide to write a fanfic with her (Pffftthhh, why should I?) she would be completely vulnerable. She would lose in a fight, all by her own want. She doesn't like winning anything. And she screws up on a lot of stuff. SHE IS NOT A MARY SUE! I hate when ponies think that everypony treats their alicorn OC's like they're flawless gods.
i understand that you generally wouldn't play her that way, but that would be the first impression, and merely having the potential is often a sort of beserk button for some ponies.
Personally, i really don't mind, and in fact welcome players traditionally seen as "overpowered" (justifiably or not) to participate in my rps. But i know there's others on here that do mind no matter how you play her, and that's why i'm informing you. X3
(Actually, some even think Fluttershy is mary sue. Go figure.)

FS is waaay to shy to be a Mary Sue, in my opinion. And thank you for the heads up.

i meant fantastically better in a power sort of way x3 attitude wise, being arrogant is a relatable personality trait that often builds depth.
Yep, 'twas a joke. ^-^ Flash Strike wants to be more than just a common pony.
