Hello, everyone!

This is just a quick reminder that we're hosting a panel at BronyCon 2014! You can find us in the Hall of the Moon from 10:30pm-11:30pm on Friday, August 1st. If you'd like to know more about BronyCon or any of the other conventions we're attending you can find our convention roundup here: http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=12178.0

We're also holding another Open Sever Weekend shortly after BronyCon! From August 8th-10th the game will be available to  play. You can learn more about our Open Server Weekend here: http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=11989.0

Note that the open server takes place AFTER BronyCon. The game will not be available to play during the convention.

Here's what you'll need to get started!

Forum Account
If you haven't already got one, you can make a forum account at http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?action=register
A forum account is REQUIRED to login and play on the Legends of Equestria servers.

System Requirements
To run our game, you'll need to make sure you have the following:

  • 2 GB ram

  • Dual core processor, somewhere near 2 GHz. A single core processor works, but is not recommended

  • An okay graphics card. If the computer is made after 2007, you'll be fine. The bare minimum would probably be 128 MB vram, DirectX9.0c/OpenGL2.0

  • 1.5 gigabytes of hard drive space

  • OS: Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux



Downloading the Game

The game will be made available for download a day or two before the servers open. There will be a forum post with further details when the game is made available.

You must have the newest game version downloaded in order to get all our brand new features! If you have an older game version from a previous open server weekend, it will not work!

Please remember, the servers will only be open from August 8th-10th. You will only be able to login or play while the servers are open.

You will also be able to find these downloads on our downloads page, http://www.legendsofequestria.com/downloads

Getting to Cloudopolis
In order to get to Cloudopolis, you must travel via the airship in Cantermore!

If you're in Cantermore, travel up the cliff to the airship port and board your way onto the airship.

If you're starting in Ponydale, you must first go to the train station and travel to Cantermore, and then go to the airship port.

Getting to Cantermore
In order to get to Cantermore, you must travel via train from Ponydale or via airship from Cloudopolis!

If you're in Ponydale, you must travel via train. The train station is just past Sugarcane Corner.

If you're in Cloudopolis, go to the airport located high up and to the right of the main cloud.

Getting to Ponydale
If you'd like to visit the quaint little town of Ponydale, you must go by train from Cantermore.

If you're in Cloudopolis, go to the airport and get to Cantermore.

Once you're in Cantermore, simply go to the train station by by Astral Charm.

Questing
Plenty of NPCs (Non-Player Characters) need help with their tasks! Some give out special prizes if you lend them a helping hoof!

Go up to any NPC, right click, and select "Talk." NPCs have a "..." over their name.

Listen to what they have to say, and be sure to follow their instructions in order to move on in the quest.

At the end, you might get a reward for your kindness!

Battling
Watch out when going to the Evershade Forest! It's home to some scary monsters!

In order to defend yourself against the creatures you'll encounter, try using your special combat abilities!

Earth Ponies have Seismic Buck and Rough Terrain, Unicorns have Rainbow Fields and Magical Arrow, and Pegasi have Dual Cyclone and Gale! All three races have Ground Pound.

When ready, select a creature, a target reticule should appear. Attack the mob by getting in their range and selecting your skill.

When the enemy's health gets to zero, they'll faint! Don't worry though, I'm sure they can just walk it off.

Parties
If you want to form a party with other players, you can right-click them and add them to your party!

Parties are useful for going out and exploring. You never know when you might run into monsters, and there is always safety in numbers!

Trading
Do you have an interesting item that you'd like to give to a friend? Well, you can trade them!

Simply right click on your friend and hit "Trade." The other pony needs to accept your trade for it to continue.

Once accepted, you'll see a screen. Left click and add the item to the trading menu.

When both players are satisfied with the trade, they both must hit "Ready." When both players hit "Ready," a "Done" button will appear. Once both players hit the "Done" button, the trade will be completed.

Stuck Somewhere?
Have no fear! No need to call the moderators! Simply type /stuck or unstuck me and you will be moved to the starting point of the map. (This will not work if you are in combat.)

***THESE RULES ARE NO LONGER UPDATED. PLEASE REFER TO OUR RULES PAGE INSTEAD!***

Section One - The Golden Rules and Staff Rights

1.) The Golden Rule - Be respectful and considerate to those around you. Remember that on the other side of the screen is another human being reading what you've posted. Keep that in mind and behave.

2.) Episode Spoilers/leaks - Not everyone will have had the chance to view the latest episode at the same time of the same day as you; keep that in mind when discussing the new episodes. This also covers any leaked information; such materials should not be discussed. Any discussion of events that happen in the episodes/movies (whether they have been released or revealed in leaks) is to be contained within the spoiler tag until the Monday after the episode has aired, or one week after the movie has released.

3.) Moderators have the final say - While these rules cover the most common situations, there are situations and circumstances where they do not. As such, we reserve the right to take any action that we deem necessary to ensure that the game and forum rules are not disputed or abused in any way. We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates these rules.

Section Two - General Conduct for the Forums

4.) No Rule Lawyering - Attempting to enforce the rules as a user, whilst generally a nice gesture, is prohibited. It's not the user's job to enforce these rules among their fellow users; this is akin to "vigilante justice." If you spot someone breaking a rule, report them in the Moderation Corner using the provided template, and let the moderators handle it.

5.) No Spamming - 'Ignorant', 'pointless', and 'annoying messages' basically sums up what spamming is. It isn't necessary to have your name on the front page for every single thread on the forums, which is known as flooding. Do not post things that aren't relevant to the topic at hand. Your POST COUNT has absolutely no meaning to it.
 
    a.) Any threads created in order to notify the public of anyone's projected absence from the forums and/or game, whether temporary or permanent, will be regarded as spam. If a user feels a need to notify one or more individuals about an upcoming absence of either themselves or anyone, they are encouraged to do so via private messages, or by posting information in a pre-existing topic regarding said parties in the "Introductions" board.

6.) No Trolling - Trolling is the act of deliberately annoying someone to the point of making them angry, or starting an unnecessary flame war. Do not do this, at all.

7.) No Advertising - Legends of Equestria is not an advertising platform. If you want to show off your work, and direct people to where they can see more of it (for example, pony artwork), that's perfectly fine, so long as it's suitably safe-for-work; similarly, if people express an interest in commissions, that is fine as well. We are not, however, a place to advertise a commercial product. Moderators will decide on a case-by-case basis whether a specific instance goes against this rule.

8.) No Obscenity - We require everyone to observe and maintain common sensitivity and a sense of decency. This includes:
 
     a.) No racist, bigoted, vulgar, or distasteful language.
     b.) No adult situations in any portion of the site. This includes non-public areas.
     c.) Gore is strongly prohibited. This is a family-friendly site where people of all ages venture.
     d.) Weapons can only be used as props.


9.) No Flaming / Arguing - Intelligent public debate is welcomed, however the moment your post contains insults or personal attacks, you are in violation of this rule and your post will be removed immediately. These will not be tolerated on this forum. We expect everyone to treat each other in a way which they, themselves, want to be treated, and that is with respect.

10.) Do not harass anyone - Harassment in any form is taken seriously. Do not do it under any circumstances; attacking, badgering, and repeatedly disturbing members is not only rude, but not allowed. Threatening members results in an instant ban.

11.) Inappropriate usernames are prohibited - Usernames can not be offensive, derogatory, or vulgar. If you register with a distasteful username, you will be asked to change it. If you refuse, a staff member will change it for you. We are a family-friendly forum and game.

12.) Don't abuse forum features - We have fun features on the forums such as emotes, url / video implementation, moving text, and large font. Do not abuse these features by spamming them.

13.) Avoid sensitive material at all costs - Topics such as sexuality, religion, and politics have a reputation for getting heated pretty quickly. Do not attempt to talk about such things, or ever bring them up. Avoid posting anything like sexual orientation, religious standpoints, or political standpoints in any threads, personal text, and/or signatures. Our forums are not a place for this.
 
     a.) Do not, under any circumstances, bring up "personal issues" to the forum or chatbox. You can talk about said issues in PM's, but please do not burden the public space with your heavy baggage.

14.) Limited personal information such as Skype usernames, Discord IDs, etc. are allowed to be shared. Please note, however, that Legends of Equestria is not responsible for anything that happens in Discord conversations, over Skype messages, etc. Personal information such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, Facebook links, and pictures of yourself are not allowed to be shared.

15.) Double posting is prohibited - If you forgot something in your last post, there is a handy feature called the "Modify" button in which you can include the information you had forgotten. Frequent double posting could be regarded as spam.

16.) Controversial Posts - If you believe something is controversial, questionable, or against the rules do not post it!

17.) No inappropriate outgoing links - Anything that you link to must be child-friendly and safe for work. This includes links to:
 
     a.) Tumblr
     b.) deviantART
     c.) Flickr
     d.) Instagram
     e.) Discord servers
     f.) Etc.

18.)Keep discussions in the correct place - Each section of our forum is labelled for the specific topics that are intended to be discussed there. If you want to discuss any particular topic, please make sure you're doing so in the correct place. Threads that violate this rule may be moved or removed.

19.) No discussions of how to hack/exploit the game - Legends of Equestria is an ongoing project, meaning that bugs will be present that could be used to gain an advantage over players that aren't exploiting it. Once such a bug has been fixed, however, any instructions given or materials made to explain how to continue exploiting it (editing game files, modifying older versions of the client to connect to the server after an update to continue using an exploit, hacking, etc), or create/use any other kind of exploit that is not present in the latest version of the game without such modification, will be dealt with severely. If you find such instructions or materials, rather than discussing them in the chat, please share them with the team (by emailing [email protected], reporting it through our Phabricator system, reporting them to moderation, etc.) instead.

Section Three - In Character / Role-play Rules

20.) We allow RP that is PG based.  This means you can do more but at the same time please keep it safe for work.  If you would not let you parents or your grandparents see it then please do not do it in the RP. 

21.) Powerplaying - "Powerplaying" refers to when a role-player takes control of another person's character that is not their own. The only characters you are allowed to play as, talk as, and control are your own. The only exception to powerplaying, is if you and your partner both agree that you can control one another's character(s).

22.) God modding - The term "God modding" comes from the term "God mode" which can be found in many video games; allowing the player to activate features such as invincibility, unlimited ammo or lives, or similar power boosts. This is a juvenile thing to do, and it will not be tolerated here.

23.) Role-playing is prohibited across most of the forum. Actions are fine, but don't turn it into a story. Roleplays need to stay in the roleplay section of the forum.



If you have any questions about these rules, or believe that a moderation decision has been made in error and wish to appeal, please contact our moderation lead Perry via email ([email protected]), who will be able to address your concerns.

im new do i need to download all the files? :o

Hello there! :)

You only need to download the build that is for your computer. If you are on a Windows computer, download the Windows build. (If you need to know if you are x64 or x86, click on the Start button, right-click on Computer, click on Properties. Under System, it should tell you your operating system. If you still don't know you can just go with x86!)

If you are on a Macintosh (Apple) computer, download the Macintosh build.

If you are on a Linux system, download the Linux build.

Hello everyone! I have a few quick things to tell you about today.

Firstly, I hope you enjoyed our little April Fool's post!

Secondly, our Open Server Weekend is in a little under two weeks! We'll be opening the servers on April 18th 12:01am until April 20th 11:59pm, so make sure that you register ahead of time at our forums so that you can log into the game the moment the servers are available. The game will be available for download a day or two before, but the servers will not open until April 18th, at the times specified above. This way, everyone has the chance to grab the game and log in once the servers open.
Please note that you must have a forum account before you can log in to the game. It is highly suggested that you register before the 18th, as the servers will be very busy once the weekend starts!
If you don't have an account already, you can register here.

Thirdly, I have some more information on BABSCon to share with you!

As announced a few weeks ago, Legends of Equestria will be hosting a Discussion Panel at BABSCon 2014, which begins on April 18th and will end on April 20th to coincide with the Open Server Weekend. Here are some more specifics for those of you attending!

The panel will start at 3:45pm and end at 4:30pm on Friday, April 18th. You can view their full schedule here. We'll have several wonderful team leaders along with plenty of awesome staff members.

Hello everyone!

You may have heard about Facebook's recent shopping spree on everything you hold dear.  Well, we have a very special announcement for you today: they didn't stop at the Oculus Rift!

Facebook has bought Legends of Equestria for $1,000,000 US dollars, and that means we're going freemium!

We have already started the process of transferring our game into a cash generator a casual, entertaining game that you can hook up to all of your social networks and send your friends gratuitous amounts of invites!

Here is a behind-the-scenes screenshot!



We accept Paypal, Rupees, and Dogecoin as payment for all of our great freemium content.

We obtained an ultra-exclusive interview with the Team Directors on what they would be doing with their share of the $1,000,000 US dollars:

Cerebrate: I have already purchased NASA, and as soon they finish my rocket I'll be on my way to Jupiter.

Bloomberg: For the first time since I achieved my life-long dream and became a writer, I will be capable of eating something other than ramen.

Kit: I'm going to China to rebuild the Great Pyramids out of recycled horseshoes. This will provide eco-friendly jobs for unemployed ponies and also serve as my bridge to Valhalla.

AnyaSmash: I will make it so that ponies are actually a real thing, like, I will have horses genetically modified so that miniature horses can physically exist in the real world.

Blue Ink: I will be hiring DHX to create the show: My Little Waifu: Derpy is QTπ.

Ellowee: I really see a lot of potential in this new site called Myspace, I think that if I invest in it, I can be really famous!

Hirosashii: I plan on putting it all in a trust fund for my children, so that they may achieve their dreams~

Perry the Pony: I am going to restart Canterlot Gardens 2013! Or whatever year it is!

Herabek: I think that, if I get all this money in dollar bills, I can carry it around in all of my pockets and that means that women will actually notice me!

SavanaPope: According to these numbers, I can purchase 1,254.33 hot tubs, and I plan on putting one inside the other, so when I get out of my hot tub I can step into my other hot tub for a minimum of 1,253.33 hot tub layers.

Vector: I'm planning on buying my own personal hot air balloon for which I will hire someone to man for me to the swiss alps. Once there I'll build my own personal lodge out of curdled cheese from himalayan goats. The bowling alley will have green Jell-o flooring and 5 flat screen TVs that only play the history channel and cartoon network, and the inner gardens will have plants transported from Papua, New Guinea.

Frankie: I'm going to bury it.


Keep an eye out on our social media for updates to this exciting new development! Due for release very soon, Valve Time!
