OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD

According to their specs page you shouldn’t need anything new or fancy. According to them, it should run on just about any machine newer than 2007, or something. So you may be able to play LoE if your machine isn’t that hold, but being a laptop I would expect a framerate drop. It’s what I expect from my own laptop that’s two years old when playing something like TF2.

I was there.

 
Guess its dragon fighting time

Speeds up time
 
I want a new laptop now to play this, looks SOO COOL!

Wasn’t Starswirl Academy going to get shut down because of characters and names that were too similar for “parody” so they just changed them all and now its in the clear?

@Lawful Girly  
That’s my point. It’s not logical, but I’m fairly certain Hasbro did it anyway. When people pleaded their case and said what they were doing was legal, they just got ignored.
 
Of course I could be totally wrong, which is why I was looking for clarification.

@Background Pony #DD7A  
By that logic MAD TV should have been shut down.

@Cirrus Light  
I hope they can continue with this project, but iirc weren’t many of the other projects that got shut down within the legal parameters of “parody?” If that didn’t stop the Hasbro legalbros then, I don’t see what will stop them now.

@Cirrus Light  
So they’re kind of the Video Brinquedo version? Clever.

@Background Pony #DD7A  
They’ve cleverly avoided anything trademarked. Ponydale instead of Ponyville, an old timey town, Cantermore instead of Canterlot, an ivory city with that distinct archetectual style, pegasi, unicorns, and ponies with tattoos on their bum, magic, dragons… Those are all concepts that are too common for fantasy to be trademarked, names of the cities aside.
 
So, yeah. It’s like that cheap rip-off movie that can’t be sued because it’s obviously a copy of another, bigger title, but narrowly avoids any copyright infringement. That’s what the “Legends of Equestria” folk did. Pretty ingenious, really.

@Background Pony #DD7A  
Hopefully the guys remember to PUT DISCLAIMERS IN EFFING EVERYTHING claiming that this is not official and it’s a fandom thing not supported by Hasbro.

It’s pretty much in Pre-Alpha so its just fun to look at things.

@Background Pony #DD7A  
They just have to think small.

So what happens when these guys get the C&D

Where’s a dragonborn when you need one?  
 
Well, Rainbow Dash might work.

It’s somewhere in-between and too incomplete to say.
 
Character creation is probably about as in-depth as any other MMO, and you don’t get the environment control that you would in Second Life which’d cut your ability to make yourself special or to fulfill your fantasies. You ain’t building brothels in the middle of Ponyville, that’s for sure.
 
But it’s not exactly WoW, as far as I can tell. But that’s maybe because any and all RPG elements I can find are not there, frankly. You get energy and health stats but I haven’t found much in the way of a leveling system.
 
Every quest so far though is a glorified courier service though. Which isn’t far from what I know WoW quests to be most of the time.

So is this game like World of Warcraft or is it like Second Life; the place full of unique people?

I heard dragons spawned in a few towns as per an intended event. But given how all the enemies I’ve ever met never agro’d - or rarely did - I blew it off. Then again, I was dropping connection so much that I played this game on and off I was never around to get in the middle.
 
Then I see the after-the-fact pics.

Shit suddenly went all Skyrim.
