New Game Update (V.2018.03.02), Rules Update, And More!

Apr 04


Hey again, everypony! Bet you didn't expect to hear from me again so soon, eh?

Since we released the Winter Warm-Up (V.2018.03.01) update, we've been working hard on a few issues that cropped up, as well as continuing to work on some older ones. We actually managed to get them sorted faster than we expected - I know, hard to believe, right? - so we're releasing a new, minor update! If you're using our Windows launcher, the game should update automatically; everyone else will need to grab the latest game files from our downloads page!

Now, because this is a minor update, you shouldn't expect any big content additions or new costumes; most of it is bug fixes. Some of those fixes are pretty big, though, like the friends list! The revamping we did for the Winter Warm-Up release caused some unexpected issues, but this new release should resolve those.



Don't feel too bad if you're blocked here; this is for testing purposes!



We also fixed a few issues with our newer quests, 'Tomorrow, Spring is Here' and 'Are You A Princess Too?', as well as some problems causing issues with the bank and trade systems; we also addressed a couple of exploits that were causing trouble. As always, if you want the full details of what's been done since the last version, you should check out our changelog!

While we're here, though, we should probably clear up something we've had a few questions about: the release version numbering system. Some people thought it was date-based, meaning that the Winter Warm-Up release had been build-ready since March 1st; however, this isn't how the numbering system works. It goes as follows: year.major.minor. That's why the previous build was 2018.03.01, and this is 2018.03.02! What happened to 2018.01.X & 2018.02.X, you may ask? Well, those were team-internal test builds that we ended up not releasing due to either not being ready for public consumption, or having added more since the build that it was more sensible to just make a newer build and include all the previous changes there too!

Finally, we've also gone through our rules system, and updated them to hopefully be clearer, while also providing all the protections that you're hopefully used to by now! There are three separate rule posts - one for our in-game rules, one for our forum rules, and one for our Discord server rules - so we'd recommend you reading through the rules for any of those platforms that you use. If you have any questions or issues regarding the rules, please contact our moderation team via email, or through our Discord server!

Hopefully that all clears things up for you! Remember to grab the latest files from our downloads page; and if you have any issues or suggestions, as always, please submit them using our reporting system, as explained here!

That's all for now; see you in Equestria!

[APRIL FOOL'S!] Introducing The Legends of Equestria Micro Transaction Store!

Apr 01
(Note: while this was an April Fool's joke, the NPCs, quest, and costume will be permanently available in-game. It'll never cost you a penny, though!)



Hey, everypony! We here at Legends of Equestria have an extra-special announcement to make!

As you all know, Legends of Equestria was built from the beginning to be a completely free experience, available to everypony, and made by a completely unpaid, volunteer development team. This has been the core of what we've aimed to do from the start, and it's what's driven us all this way.

But no longer! We're proud to finally unveil something we've been working on for quite some time: the Legends of Equestria Micro Transaction store!



This store is currently in its trial phase, so not everything is available right now, but special items such as cosmetic upgrades and horse armor are already available through the Micro Transaction store. We implore you to check it out, and help support development!

That's not all, though! There's one addition to LoE that you've all been asking about for the last few years, and it's finally a reality! We're unbelievably happy and proud to be able to announce our very first Micro Transaction upgrade: The Princess Package! Now, for a small fee, you can upgrade your character to become an All-icorn!



This is intended to be a paid upgrade in the final version, but for a limited time, it's available to all LoE Premium(TM) Accounts for free! If you want to take advantage of this amazing opportunity, make sure you have the newest version of LoE available from our downloads page! Then visit the Micro Transaction store, conveniently located in central Cantermore, just off to the East of the fountain, and speak to the salespony to receive a unique upgrade quest!



Please note, the Micro Transaction store is only available to ponies who have gained their Talent Mark and finished the graduation ceremony. For legal reasons, the store can only be made available to adult ponies, as all purchases require an adult's permission.

Winter Warm-Up(date) Is Now Available!

Mar 28


Hey again, everypony! It's been a little while, hasn't it? You might think that we're running a little late with our seasonal update, but what if I told you that it's thematic, eh? Would you believe that?

Ah, well. It was worth a try!

We've been working super hard over the last few months to bring you something extra special, and it's finally here for everypony to enjoy: the Legends of Equestria Winter Warm-Up event!

Yes, that's the name we're going with.



For the next few weeks, Ponydale needs your help! As per usual, it's struggling to get winter all cleared up in time for spring to begin, and expert organizer Check List has been brought in to try and get the event back on track - but she needs more volunteers to manage it! You can find her barking out orders from Ponydale's Town Hall! You can't miss her - she's the one in the snazzy vest! Everypony who helps to warm up winter for Ponydale chooses one of three teams, and if they're successful not only will they get to see Ponydale restored to its usual lush green, but they'll get a team vest to match!



Which team will you choose? Don't forget, this is a seasonal event, so it won't be around forever; you'll also need to be an adult pony who has Graduated in order to participate!

That's not the only new addition to the game, though; Cantermore is now home to the First National Bank of Equestria! If you've been having trouble cramming all those color-customised pairs of tartan socks into your saddlebags - and trust me, we've all been there - then this update is for you! Visit the bank in Cantermore, located conveniently in the middle of the city near the fountain, to store costumes, armor, and any other stuff that you don't want to get rid of, but don't want to carry around everywhere you go!



Please note that the Cantermore bank is the only one currently operational, and it's not able to store bits just yet, but more is always coming! In the meantime, you can speak to the Bank Guard to learn more about it, as well as how to expand your bank storage!



There's plenty more that's new to Equestria; A big redesign of the trading system, bit trading, a revamping of the friend system, Ensemble has a new seasonal dress for sale - and, of course, a plethora of new socks. If you're using our Windows launcher, the game should update automatically the next time you launch it; for everypony else, the updated files are available from our downloads page! As usual, we have a full changelog that details every change, improvement, and addition that we've made; you can find that over here!



We really hope you enjoy the Winter Warm-Up event, as well as everything else we've brought you so far! Remember, if you run into any bugs, issues, or just a suggestion or two, you should submit them to us using the system explained here!

There's a lot more to come, so stay tuned, and we'll see you in Equestria!

Head over to our downloads page to grab the update!

Legends of Equestria Holiday Update Now Available!

Dec 22

How am I even supposed to fit down this thing?


Hey, everypony!

It's still the holidays, right? Yeah? Great! That means we've still got time for the Legends of Equestria holiday update!

If you use the LoE Launcher for Windows, the game should update for you automatically. If you were using one of the direct download versions of the game, you'll need to grab the latest files from our downloads page!

We've been working hard on bug fixes and new content for you guys, and this update contains a bunch of both! You can check out our full changelog here, but the biggest things you'll notice are the changes for the holiday season!



The festive spirit is spreading across Equestria, and ponies everywhere are making the best of winter! Snow is falling, all around us - well, in some places, at least - and Ponydale's been blanketed! Some ponies have even taken up ice-skating, and Buttercup in Ponydale, as well as a couple of merchants in the Crystal Kingdom, are selling special boots to help everypony glide through the cold!



And our old friend Ensemble has been working on something new, to help guide the way for all the horses dashing through the snow at this time of year! His special costume quest is seasonal, though, so that means it won't be available forever! You'll have to grab it before the snow melts!



We hope you'll enjoy everything that's been added and fixed with this update! Remember, if you encounter any problems during your time in equestria, make sure you report it using the system explained here, so the right people on the team can work on fixing it!

There's plenty more to enjoy in Equestria, so we hope you'll come and visit us! From the whole team, we wish you a very happy holiday!
