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!

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!

Hey Everypony!

Hey again, everypony!

We've had a lot of fun sharing Equestria with you over the last couple of months, and seeing you share your experiences with us has been amazing too! We've still been working hard to bring you even more to enjoy, though, and today we've released our Hallowe'en update!

You can find a full changelog here, but there's a couple of key parts that you'll probably notice more than the others:

Firstly, we've increased the maximum number of ponies per account to 6. The original limitation was necessary when we first started out, but improvements mean more ponies for players to pick from!

Secondly, we were hearing a lot of feedback regarding the game's performance when certain parts of the UI were under a lot of strain; for example, having a lot of ponies on your friend's list causing significant drops in framerate. We want to encourage everypony to have more friends, not less, so we've worked to deal with that!

And finally (and probably most importantly), this is our Hallowe'en update, so it's only right that we'd bring some spooky costumes to the party! Word has it that the Equestria-famous costume designer Ensemble has opened up shop in the Crystal Kingdom, and has a few designs on sale - but he might have an extra special bat-related costume available for those willing to help him make it!



Be aware, though, that this quest is seasonal; it won't be around forever, so make sure you get this costume while you can! Ensemble will no longer be offering the quest after Monday, 13th November - at least until next year!

Remember, if you want to experience everything a new update has to offer, you need to make sure that you're keeping your version of LoE up-to-date! If you're using a direct download version of the game, you'll need to re-download the newest version of the game from our downloads page. If you're running on the Windows launcher version, your game should update automatically the next time you launch it!

We hope you enjoy what we've added and fixed with this update, but as always, we're still hard at work to bring you more! Remember, if you have any bugs, glitches, or suggestions to report, you should do so using the system explained here; that'll ensure the right people see your report, and get to work on it!

Speaking of work, we've got a lot more to do; we'll see you in Equestria!

Hey again, everypony!

We're super hard at work to bring you Legends of Equestria's next update, along with all of the bug fixes we can cram in there! We've got some other news to announce before that's ready, though!

Members of the LoE team will be attending Nightmare Nights Dallas, Friday 27th - Sunday 29th October! You might see us strolling around the convention floor (just look for our snazzy bat-Ellowee badges), and we're also hosting a Legends of Equestria panel on Sunday 29th, at 3.30pm in the Addison LH room! We'll be discussing the work that went into achieving our Open Access Release, covering some more details of our development process, and answering some of your questions! For more info on Nightmare Nights Dallas, check out their website!

If you're attending the convention, we'd love to see you there; if not, there may be special activities going on in-game during the panel, so why not play along at home? Everything you need to enjoy LoE's Open Access Release is on our downloads page!
