Legends of Equestria

[Eloquence 2,076]

I was looking around the internet recently and happened upon this new fan-made game called Legends of Equestria. It's an MMO based on our favorite little ponies, with questing and pets and flying and whatnot. It looks like there have been a few demos, but so far I haven't had the chance to try it out. 

 

Anyone else heard of this game? Tried it? Have anything to share? Thoughts? Opinions? Anything?

 

(and on a side note, they're looking to hire people for the project. The techie and creative types might want to check it out )

I have heard of this and and looking forward to their next open test ( I missed the August 8th open server). I considered applying, however I have a few personal projects I am working on right now and don't want to lose focus.

Played it during the latest open server. Shows promise, but not much to do at the moment. I don't know if I'll actually play it when it releases, as it seems their aiming for more of a Second Life type thing.

Generally speaking, I don't like to play games that are in the phase of recruiting guinea pigs to iron out problems. While they may change, improve, and add more content as time wears on, most of my interest will be expended and the core elements of the game explored prior to it receiving the finishing touches, and my appreciation of subsequent updates diminishes. Just how I am with most games. I prefer waiting for the finished product.

 

However, I did break from that for Legends of Equestria. Tried getting in on the action during one of their open server events prior to this last one, and after many, many failed attempts was finally able to get into a game so unstable on servers so overburdened that I couldn't play for more than a couple of minutes at a time. Tried hopping on this latest one too, and I couldn't even download the client. They're clearly over their hosting capacity every time they do one of these things. I think it's great they're using community feedback to shape ongoing development in this manner, but right now it's not worth the effort to me.
