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!

System Requirements

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.

Commands
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.)
