Yes, I think there is science in Equestria.
Whereever there are ponies who want to find out how the world works, there will be scientists. And scientists do science.

While this is an unfounded hypothesis, I have some evidence:
  • Twilight Sparkle is a scientifically inclined pony. I bet there are a lot of scientific books in her library/the castle's library. These books have to have been written by somepony. Thus, there are scientists and thus science.
  • Astral Charm is a science pony. Thus, there is science.
  • There are schools in Equestria. I bet they also have scientific subjects like biology, physics and, wait for it, math.

I believe that the world being flat is the easiest explanation why Celestia can bring up the sun and is the only raiser of the sun (I have no evidence of this, but I don't think it has ever been said that there is another raiser of the sun). Also, the sun seems to revolve around the world where Equestria is. If there was a solar system, I couldn't imagine how Celestia would "raise" the sun.

Concerning the age of Celestia and Luna, I'm not sure. They are either immortal, age very slowly or stopped aging at some point. In the very first episode, it said that Nightmare Moon (which is Luna) reappeared on the 1000th day of the Summer Sun Celebration. Assuming the the Summer Sun Celebration is an event that happens once a year, this would mean that Celestia and Luna are at least 1000 years old, probably older, since I doubt that Celestia has banned Nightmare Moon to the moon when they were born. And they still look younger than some other ponies who are probably not near 1000 years.

However, the idea that Celestia and Luna have never aged doesn't seem to work, since Celestia told the Mane 6 that she was once a filly in the episode with the theatre play.

One other thing that I have asked myself (and probably many others asked themselves) is how earth ponies and pegasi can hold things with their hooves or play instruments. I haven't heard a satisfactory answer to that question and it seems the most satisfactory answer so far is "don't worry about it too much".

Then, there is the question if they will develop computers and smartphones in Equestria and, again, how they will be operated by earth ponies and pegasi. Typing might be realised with "hoof adapters", cone-shaped things that you can put on your hooves, so you won't press multiple keys while typing, or REALLY big keyboards, but that would be very impractical.

There were times where I wonder what technological age Equestria might be in, but some argue that you shouldn't measure technological advance solely by comparing it to Western human culture. That would imply that all cultures discover technology in the same order. Civilizations living mostly in the air (like the Breezies) might be highly advanced without ever having developped the wheel, since wheels have no advantage when transporting goods through the air and are of no practical use in airborne transportation (i.e. vehicles) either.

Sorry for not answering all your questions and for rambling.

It seems that the updater is still outdated. You will need to download one of the direct downloads here. The recent version is 2018.10.01.

What you will get is a ZIP file. Unzip it and double-click on loe.exe. The game will start immediately, there will be no launcher. Thus, it won't download future updates.

I hope they will update the launcher soon, because that's the more comfortable way when you are on Windows.

Hello.

Has it been determined when Frisktaker's birthday party will start? Also, is there anything I need to know about how these parties work? Do I need to prepare anything? It is the first party I plan to attend.

If I don't read anything, I'll assume that the party starts at 9PM GMT. Also, is the location of the party already planned?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

No, sorry, I can't say I have had this problem, so I can't provide a solution that is sure to work. Here are some things that MIGHT work:

- Try unequipping it and equipping it again.

If that doesn't work:

- Close the game and start it again. Sometimes the game has weird bugs that go away when you start it anew.

If it still doesn't work:

- Try unequipping and equipping it after you have restarted the game.

Also, are you wearing armor? It might be worn over your scarf, so nopony can see it.

Again, this is not guaranteed to work, since I don't have that problem myself. If it didn't help, I'm sorry.

Hello,

if you use Windows: after unzipping the file, double-click on loe.exe to start the game. It is a second copy of the game that runs without the launcher and won't update itself. It is the newest version of the game, so you should be able to run it. However, I hope that the launcher will be updated soon, so we can soon use that again.

Hello, DividedS.

Welcome to the forums and the game and Merry Cristmas, if you celebrate that. If you don't, please excuse my thoughtless remark.

I hope that you will quickly find a way into the game.

If you can't find other players, I suggest you look into "How do I find other players?" in the Legends of Equestria  Discussion board.

You can also play by yourself. Some NPCs have quests for you and some sell items, for example Bluebell in Cantermore, Buttercup and Marvell (in Carousel Boutique) in Ponydale and Free Trade and Ensemble in the Crystal Kingdom.

If you are into roleplaying, there is the Sweet and Elite: Meet and Greet roleplaying group. They meet once a week to roleplay. There are two kinds of roleplay: In the Slice of Life mode, the game master sets up a scenario and then the players are left to do something. If there is a plot, it is made up by one or more players. Sometimes, there is no plot and it is mostly about interacting and talking. In Adventure mode, there is a set plot and story that you and the other players go through, and though the frame is set by the game master, the player's actions shape it and give it some unique flavor.

Look into the respective forum thread on the Legends of Equestria Discussion board if you are interested. They also have a Discord group. They have posted the link to the server in that forum thread as well.

There is also the forum roleplay, but I can't say much about it since I haven't tried that out yet.

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask other players in the forum or in the game. They will probably be happy to help you. For example, Scootaloo is a very experienced player and will probably be happy to help you. She says that she is online almost all of the time. I have never met her in-game, but her forum posts are very helpful for new players. In-game, the players gray haze and Spring Strudel helped me a lot getting into the game.

I hope you will have lots of fun. I'm not in the game very regularly (except for Adventure roleplaying sessions), but if you see Scatty Clockwork or Rosie Sunshine, that's me.

These are suggestions that I would give to every player, since they work fine for me. However, if you want suggestions that fit your tastes better, you might tell more about yourself, so we know what you like, and maybe ask other ponies, since my tastes don't necessarily need to be yours, too.

I don't mean to be rude, but when will the launcher be updated? I really liked that it automatically downloaded the newest version on startup, so I don't want to give it up. I also downloaded it manually now, but as soon as the laucher gets updated, I would use that alone.

I still like the snow in the menu, though. Nice detail.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and Merry Christmas to everypony celebrating that.

trigger-bolt and Princess Darcy, thank you for sharing your Christmas traditions with us.

Hello, Dr. Nomz.

You can store items in the bank. The bank in Cantermore also looks like a bank and there is a guard standing in front of it. The bank in the Crystal Kingdom is less obvious. It is just a door on the central plaza. You can interact with the bank by clicking on the bank door. Once the bank is open, you can transfer items to it by clicking on them in your inventory. Click on the item in the bank to transfer it back into your inventory.

I don't know if you can sell items to NPCs (you can certainly buy from some of them), but you can trade with players. Right click on them and then select "Trade". Then click on the items you want to sell. If you made a mistake, click on them in the trade view and they are transferred back. Once both players have clicked on the crystal in the middle, the goods are exchanged. However, as far as I know, you cannot suggest an amount for the other player to pay. You select what you have to offer, then the other player decides what s/he is willing to give in exchange and when you both accept, it's a deal, otherwise, not.

I'm the next one to thank you.

Thank you.

Off-Topic / Christmas traditions

Hello, everypony!

I hope that this is not too religion specific. So if this is wrong, I'm sorry.

I hope you had a wonderful December so far, both ponies who celebrate Christmas and ponies who don't. For those, who do, I would like to know: How do you celebrate Christmas and the days before and after it? For those who don't, please do not feel excluded. At least this is not the intention of this thread.

I shall start:

On the Advent days, our family gathers around the Advent wreath, Daddy gets out his guitar and we sing Christmas songs.

We usually buy our Christmas tree late before Christmas Eve. In the morning of Christmas Eve, we decorate the tree. When we were little, we used to watch TV until the late afternoon after that, but nowadays we usually go about doing our stuff. In the evening, we go to church. Mum used to stay at home. When we were children, we were told, she had to let in Santa Claus. Well, she turns on the right music in the evening, so we feel all festive when we arrive back home. Now that I think of it, it is kind of unfair that we never gave her the chance to go to church, too.

Then we would give presents to each other, the youngest beginning and going through to the oldest. When everyone gave someone a present, we start over with the youngest again and continue to do so, until there are no more presents left. If we don't have any presents to give anymore, but there are still presents, we give presents of others. If anypony is wondering: In Germany, many families celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, not in the Christmas days. The Christmas days are spent visiting relatives.

After all the gift giving, we eat. While many families have turkey or goose on Christmas, we don't. We have potato salad.

On New Year's Eve, we eat raclette. After that, we watch "Dinner for One". It is a short grayscale film traditionally watched by German people on New Year's Eve. It's about Miss Sophie, an elderly whealthy lady who wants to celebrate her 90th birthday with her four best friends. Unfortunately, all of them have already died, so she orders her butler James to play all of them. Drinking for four, he gets increasingly drunk and that's basically the whole story. At midnight, we greet the new year with fireworks.

How do you celebrate December?

Hello Theagames, and welcome to the forums.

If you want to contribute something, don't be shy to do so. I'm looking forward to see how you can bring life to the forums. As they say, "the more, the merrier."

Great! Just make sure that you give others a chance to be awesome, too.

I had a similar problem, when I was new to the game. There was Taffy Treat who sent me to talk to Hullabaloo, but I didn't find him. The reason was that I was just a colt at that time and Hullabaloo only appears when you are an adult pony. I would also approve of a "what to do next" option, or what I would appreciate would be if questgivers tell you that you can only do a quest later, though that would require an explanation, why foals cannot do it or give another explanation, like Hullabaloo being currently out of town.

I had a similar case recently. I accepted a quest from Bando Bruno in Cloudopolis to light all lamps in his dojo, but it is apparently a quest for pegasi only. I tried to teleport on the lamps but it didn't work. Can't think of a way how earth ponies would do it.

In short, I would like that you cannot accept quests that you cannot finish.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

I hope that you quickly get into the game and have a lot of fun. If you have any question about the game or have trouble getting in, I suggest you ask more seasoned players. I think most of them will be happy to help you. Of course, I can't talk about everypony, but I can say that Spring Strudel and gray haze helped me getting into the game.

I hope that you will find lots of friends and have a lot of fun in the game. Of course, if you would rather enjoy yourself by, well, yourself, you can do that, too. NPCs have quests for you to do.

If you like roleplaying, I would suggest trying out the Sweet and Elite: Meet and Greet roleplaying group. They have a thread in which they announce when they are playing again and what kind of roleplay it is going to be. They also have a Discord channel. They post the link to that channel in every official announcement.

Of course, these are only suggestions based on what worked for me. I don't know you, so you might like entirely different things than me. Also, I don't know which of the advice you may already know.

Maybe you want to tell more about yourself, so that follow-up posters will have more to work with. I wrote this as a kind of "standard reply", because I don't really know how to write something that fits your tastes better. Of course you don't have to tell details about yourself if you don't want to.

Hello Magic,

I'm pleased to read that you like the game.

I'm also watching MLP on Netflix and I'm also a bit behind. Also, I live in Germany, so I only get the episodes a bit later, because they are first released in the US and later in Germany.

I started to watch the series, because I read on a writer's website that My Little Pony has round, well-developped characters. Also, I'm not really into films others would probably consider more "suitable" for my age. I know that some people would consider my tastes to be "childish". I don't like bad endings, so I think My Little Pony, which I trust to continue to be a light-hearted show, is good for me.

Unlike you, I like talking colorful animals, maybe because they are not human. I'm a bit shy around humans I don't know.

Being Chaotic Neutral, it's no wonder that Discord is your favourite character. Rainbow's rather wild nature also makes her kind of chaotic, but being loyal is a Lawful trait, so I don't really know where to put her in the DnD grid (No flame war, please. I have never tried it out, but I read on TVTropes that discussing where certain characters are in the DnD alignment grid is flame bait).

Also, I think it is difficult to like Chancellor Neighsay, especially because of the way he talked about non-ponies.

I'm also pleased to read that you like RP. I like to play at the Sweet and Elite: Meet and Greet roleplaying Adventure events. If you haven't tried that out, I can recommend it to you. I also want to tell you that Spring Strudel and gray haze are really nice ponies. They really helped me getting into the game.

I don't really dare to play in the forum RPs yet, since I don't know whether my character is well-developped enough. Currently, I play at the Adventure style events, because they have a set plot and I hope I can develop my character during the sessions.

Hi, I was wondering if it is okay if I write in this thread or if it is for public announcements from the game hosts only. Some days ago, Spring Strudel invited me to your Discord server. Oblivious of the fact that I already have a Discord account (I haven't used it for, like, a year or so), I logged in as a new user. Of course I couldn't register that user, because my email is already registered. So I would like to politely ask if you could send me that invite link again.

Hello. Thank you for being honest with us. I'm hoping for a more eloquent pony to convince you not to destroy our world and not to eat us all.

In the not so mean time, I hope you will find ways to have fun that are not eating or destroying ponies.

I would say "have fun" as I like to do to people and ponies making their introductions here, but I don't know what evil ponies see as "fun", so I'll refrain from doing so.

Hello, Matrix2er0,

welcome to the site and the game.

I hope that you will quickly get used to the controls and have a lot of fun.

I usually play the game in the late evening. I have switched to the Amareican server since many other people I got to know here seem to be there, too.

If you see Scatty Clockwork, that's me.
