To get you ready for the Open Server Event, here are the download links for the game client. Go ahead and pick the download that corresponds to your machine's operating system and you'll be set to enter Equestria first thing tomorrow!

How to unblock a download on Chrome
If you are using Google Chrome, it may try to block the download because Google Chrome is silly. To skip the filter, hit Ctrl-J to open your downloads window and click "Recover Malicious File"
Notes
Take note that with each Open Server event, we enable new fixes and features. Therefore, we have to wipe game data on our servers with each update. Character data and items collected from previous Open Server events will NOT carry over.
Thanks again for all your support everyone! Next stop, Equestria!
Windows direct download. Only use this if the launcher does not work.

Say, when the Full Beta Release releases, will we still lose our data...? Other than that what a day for 3 days for the Price of 1! :D

If you have the launcher it should be updated now and you can continue to use the one you previous had, Just launch it and it will download the new update now.
Post Merge
I posted the link to the launcher on the front page again for the launcher, it is the same version as last time. Launcher (http://bit.ly/1RqkcaY)
Yes! Game is downloaded and I'm all set. :3 So excited for the OSW!
You had to pass by mega now, don't you?
Because that Please read the forum rules KEEPS PUTTING THE DOWNLOAD TO 0% WHEN IT REACH 3%!!!
Edit: Sorry about that ^^'

Too bad I will have to reach the level 60 again, all that hard work for nothing? o.O
Oh well, it really doesn't matter, as long as i'm in the game having fun with friends and being Eclipsed Donut and Rose Sun once again. This game really really matters to me, and if I miss it, I would regret that. forever. but now that I know that actually I am gonna play it, I can't regret that, this is not the first time, its 3th or 4th. Are you exicted? :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: Good. I'm gonna be a brave pony once again...! -.- See y'all in Equestria!

I managed to reach level 100 in an earlier osw. It took staying up all night to do so but, was fine. ovO
Downloaded it today so I'm ready for tomorrow, really excited to see how Loe has improved since the time I saw Storm Analysis played it.
If having problems with MacOs or 10.11 try this:
unzip LOE*.zip
I had to open terminal
then goto downloads : cd downloads
then go inside LoE.app : cd LoE.app
then go inside Contents: cd Contents
then go inside MacOS: cd MacOS
then finally
chmod -R 755 LoE
and the Loe.App is runnable now!
Btw, I had to use Firefox to get the mega.nz site to download, safari 10.0 was not having it with their download service!
Ho god no, the doawnload, it's stuck!!!
There's 12 file to updates, it prepared to instal them, and now it's trying to download them, but it's not progressing! Please don't tell me it crashed!
Edit: Thanks Celestia it's not stuck! *Determination

I will post that to see if it helps other people with the issue for osx.
Help!!! I have a problem with the launcher!
It was installing the game, it downladed everything, And now that's about ten minutes it's stuck on "Installing..." And I can't press update anymore!
Also, I completely forgot to remove my olds LoE's files, is it a problem? Or is everything good and I can close the launcher?
I'm on windows 10 by the way!
You can just download one of the clients from the original post as they're linked there. I never use the launcher to update the client as I prefer to just download them directly.
hum.. hello..
mega's links keep saying that i'm exceding the download limit(even the 8mb launcher), so..
can i ask for another way of download? if possible...
thanks..
The download using Internet Explorer causes the download to hang at 51% and then fail saying, "Out of memory." I had to use FireFox to download the zip file via Mega. I had no problems using FireFox to download the files. I've heard from a few friends that they're experiencing the same issue trying to download via Internet Exploder (sp)

Actually, when I try to download it directly, it glitch, so I have to use the launcher! The game seems to be working, but I'm still worried!
Also, my connection is extremely low and I take about 8 hours to completly download the game! I can't download it once more since it's taking all of my connection!
So all I can do now... is to hope it'll work fine!

You might want go to settings and, change the graphics to low if you have internet trouble. Having it on high can affect the games performance if you run it on a potato. :s
Google has been banned in china.. I have no way to download the game directly!!!! DD: D: :c
Has the team posted known-good MD5/SHA1/SHA256 checksums and filesize of the client downloads? It would help verify there hasn't been any tampering of the binaries and/or file corruption. Cryptographically signed would be even better, but probably too much of a hassle.
so much hyyyyype ; 7 ;

When my applications are from an unidentified developer, I go to System Preferences under the Apple logo and click "Security & Privacy."
Next, look at the bottom, you should see that it says your application wouldn't open. Now click "Open Anyway" and click the lock to make the changes.
Hope this helped! ^-^

For the 64 Bit .zip I have:
MD5 -

712EB3BCBA77DD9ED9B80DF1F424C2DE8EABF0CA3180E123819418A8F7D78841Though I suppose that'd involve trusting me rather than the developers, but this is the download I got from mega and it's not corrupted or anything.
I can see the servers but I click on one, nothing happens I'm using the osx build. is something wrong with my end or is it the client?

Some of us are having the same problem. I think something may have gone wrong with the servers. >.<

Don't think so, many people (including me) are experiencing the same problem all over the forums.
dangit, and I thought I was gonna be horsing around at work right after I finished downloading. :p
(i'm referring to the OSX server list bug)
I updated the OSX Build if you are having issues. https://mega.nz/#!SMVUkaqS!U7qRbE-xUNwgSjsZO3GnEMaWwjHhYUntfPUKodz8Ais
What's new? Is there any list?

I've been having the same problem all day... no pony for me today then. ono
I'm playing (or, trying to...) on OS X 10.10.2, and I tried the "fix," but that only made it worse... Now, the game crashes instantly when opened. Great. I'm re-downloading it, now. Maybe that will help. >__> ; *sigh* Anyone else??
**EDIT!!!***
It turned out to be my security program, Avast. Anyone else who has this problem on Mac, now you know why it might be happening. :3 !
Windows 7. I downloaded the Launcher file first; clicking on the exe file after extraction gave me an error message. I downloaded the 64 bit file, I got the usual feather icon after extraction and it connected me just fine. After about five tries was online long enough to select all the attributes of my character and take a few steps in Cloudsdale.

What OS are you on?

Windows 8.1 I believe, 64 bit.
Weird. My server listing doesn't load anything. :/
It lets me go into the servers for a bit, then it stucks in the character creator screen. It crashes and it says that server timeouted, so I click cancel. Then it said that they will move me to another server. :I
I have the feeling that it will be hard to play LoE, this month :o
@Thundergirl .. Yep :] i had all that too.. :c given up already...
Just a thought, anyone know if the windows download works on a windows smartphone? ovO
(I don't own one personally though)

Even it did download, it would either crash immediately or not have any way to launch the game.
