Lots of cool updates plus a new quest! I'm always in need of new bank slots so I'll be keeping an eye out for this NPC in the Heartlands. ^_^ One extra thing that I noticed is that the ice has a crackled pattern now, it looks like ice! Nice ice is nice. Such fab new animations, glide, skate, the resuscitation swirl, hyperactive dragons... Kudos!

I had to do a big update in order to get into LoE today and go mine some frozen essence. I noticed that my pone leaves hoofprints in the snow and that I can pick which item to take off (when several items are on the same body part in my wardrobe). Cool beans! I expect that there will be a written announcement from The Powers That Be soon... ^_^

Congratulations on yet another impressive feat! I was there when you demonstrated how you could leap from cloud to cloud to get to the top of the rainbow falls. ^_^ It was unbelievable.

Welcome back! A few tips: try to find all the foal-only quests before "graduating", including the aviator glasses quest given by the pony outside of the library in the Crystal Kingdom, it's the second quest she will give you. Otherwise, it takes three ponies or maybe still two ponies and a well placed pet to trigger the teleport into the Crystal Library labyrinth. Stuff worth trading for are the teleport crystals that unicorns can make. The banks serve to store stuff and the more quests you do, the more room you have in the bank. If you have a Discord account, I believe the discussion is a bit more lively there.

Is there something going on with Mega(upload)? I tried five times to download the latest version and the download froze midway every time. I did not get past 53%. So I used the windows launcher gizmo. That worked so my game is updated and launches. I don't know what went wrong with Mega.  :o  Not a peep from pop-up blocker, no activity from Ghosterly. Maybe Mega is snubbing Firefox. It's like Mega is trying to sneak in something halfway into a download using a subroutine not supported by either my browser or OS.  :/

Teal deer: Successfully updated game, it works, but Mega download froze every time I tried it.

I wonder if the Nirik makeover has animated flames!  O:

There are two rooms with three sand bats in it. The first one is near the entrance, take the 2nd fork to the left on the train track (the first left fork goes quickly nowhere). The other room with three bats (and space ore to mine) is deep in the mine and harder to find. The passage is easy to miss because it's narrow. It's good that some things are challenging in this game and there aren't always giant hooves pointing the way. ^_^ (I like those giant hooves, took me a while to figure out what they were and where they were pointing.)

It looks like a lot but it's a year's supply of candy, so really not too much, unless Luna has more piles just like that all across Equestria.

I see leaf brush work, grass brush work and, could it be? Candy brush work? Luna could swim in candy! Build candy forts! Make candy alicorns in fields of candy corn!

Apparently the LoE servers are getting an update? I got a message to that effect when I tried to log in yesterday, but there's nothing here in the "Game Updates" and "General News" boards. Can we have a nibble of what's going on? I'm curious. No, I can't log into Discord. Discord wants to harvest a phone number to a "smart phone" which I do not have.

Your amazingly fat ponies are still marvelous. I saw many of those go by during the latest NATG. ^_^ As for posting, I see that I've successfully posted a screen cap here _once_. Let's see, do I need BBS code? Just an URL? I shall try an URL.

That didn't work. Ah, turning on javascript gives many options. Ah, there's a 'insert an image' option.

Attack the little clouds that are at several locations in Cloudopolis. Although the quest gives several locations where you can find these clouds about 20' above the street, it doesn't look like it matters which little clouds you attack or in what order. The clouds regenerate and I got about five times more than I needed to complete the quest. I've no idea what else they're good for. So I got clouds from anywhere I could find some, just in case. Like, I still don't know which building is the "armory". Anyway, quest completed, point gained in "Foal" and "Music", bank space enlarged. It's all good. I found it easiest to land on a wee cloud, then target and toss a pillow at it, collect loot box, profit!

If you have diamonds (lvl 50 dragons drop them) have you tried asking Klondike (in the Ponydale mine) to grind them for you? Also, call out for trades in the in-game chat, all ponies can use teleport crystals, but only unicorns can make them. Trade for diamonds and other useful ingredients.

I believe the teachers tell you where to go when you ask about the Hallowtide legend. Crypt Keeper is at the rear entrance of the cemetery in the Heartlands, the one that is blanketed in thick fog at night. Unless you're savvy, you have to find your way through the cemetery to reach the rear entrance. Beware when purchasing a jack-o-lantern, Crypt Keeper will take _all_ your candy in the required denomination, not just the 19 or 20 odd pieces stated as the price.

Trying out the new update now. ^_^ Not too keen on the motion blur, felt a wee bit nauseous,  so I went into the Options menu and un-checked it. Looks like flying up from a tilted position still retains that tilt in the air. I confirm that you can now "light" the torches in the Applewood mine rather than "lit" them. Harmonious armor has become very bright in the dark. I'm still collecting Phoenix boots, I'll check out the New (shiny!) Library interior later, and try and guess where the Spacial Bats might be at... And it looks like the saddle bag inventory manager has been tweaked! So far, discarding items actually discards them where you selected rather than paring them off the first stack in the bag. Nice! Saw a few festive jack-o-lanterns on my rush through Canterlot to the train station. Awesome work as always, people.

When is it going to be 10 years since the start of coding on "Equestria Online"? The first time I attended an Open Server Weekend was 9 years ago, around September 29th.

Oh, another thing -- I have several pony parody titles for books and magazines, it you want them, just give me a poke. Band names and musicians too.

My pony is still a foal as a personal challenge, to see just how far I can get while still a foal. Opening up quests such as the Bat Costume and WWU to foals defeats that purpose. Also, I suspect that new talent quests (for instance, dress making) would be closed to adults, ergo, as a foal, my (potential) options are still open. Leveling up is a long haul and I'm not too keen on starting again from scratch, if I don't have to.

Small library with a big cave filled with peculiar Crystal Kingdom beasts. ^_^ Fix the gait and build proper robotic pony! The Dynamics "cheetah" runs like a pig.

I love your Fauve style fat horses (they make me laugh) and the model Ponyville is amazing.

Well, Discord has this new 'provide mobile phone number' requirement that has me locked out of Discord (I don't have a mobile phone and even if I did, I would not be using it as a personal identifier online) so I guess I'll ramble on here.

New skill to learn! Weather skill!. So I've bought the two necklaces. With 21 million bits and not much to buy, the few thousand bit cost was no big deal. So now I have the necklaces, I guess I'll have to find a few new quests to bump up my level in this new skill so I can buy the actions to go with these necklaces.

Lots of odd stuff going on. The NPC's are spinning around when nopony is looking. Lots of them end up nose pressed to the nearest wall. The jump-ring into Fluttershy's cottage is gone, but clicking on the door works. The bookmarks in the book don't always work, I have to click on the 2nd bookmark to then get the 1st bookmark to work. Trading is a bit tough when my saddlebag inventory don't show when the trading window opens, then the saddlebags are slow to respond to clicking. Good thing I know the keyboard shortcut for 'character' and 'inventory' or I'd not be able to change in or out of my armor. The enhanced flame noises for campfires is cool, the kinder, gentler 'pop' noises when MOB's keel over is... interesting. Like warm rain or old farts tooling down the street in their motor-bike style wheelchairs. Like, what?, OK, that's a thing. 8^D Oh yeah, another newism: the haeatea (heats, eat, tea) dropped something new, a power force or something in that vein. I did not manage to clear slots in my inventory fast enough to snag it, alas. Another challenge!

Oh my! A windigo costume! Must have! And a striped chromatic scarf? I am intrigued! Alas, no Science for little pegasus foals? Ah, road apples. The particle updates intrigue me. Download is at 20%, one hour to go. At least my speed has increased to 5 x dialup. Will this Update find a use for Mystic Infusions? I hope the opals are opalescent! Or at least spotted. Payback Harmony? So many new things to see and try! Good thing I'm not in school and I have free time! 8^D Thank you Ellowee and her legions!

Cool beans! I'll have to give this soothing thing a whirl, I remember some skill or other had a soothing component. I wonder how long it lasts? For instance, to mine minerals on the Naiad Island in the Heartlands I have to knock out the trio of beasties to get some breathing room (and to clear the cloud of bubbles). Time to see if soothing is a viable option!

The only spot where I've succeeded in getting turquoise from a Dalmatian Diamond Dog is in the diamond dog camp in the Evershade forest, and _very_ infrequently indeed.
