Today: the Beginning of Yet Another LoE Server Weekend Thing
Back in March we posted about an upcoming Legends of Equestria open server weekend from April 18 to 20, and now that the 18th has finally been reached we are pleased to announce that the event has begun on time. You can download a copy of the game here, and don't worry about login issues; apparently the team has resolved those so we probably won't have more horror stories of people literally waiting for several hours to get in.
If you aren't able to play this weekend for whatever reason, I'd suggest downloading the client anyways since Tux3 will probably release another private server for it after the event is done. We've also copypasted a guide to the game below, which you can also find at http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=10677.

...I have no idea who writes this exclamation mark-filled glurge, but it's almost physically painful to read at times.

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.
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.)
Not long left, everyone!
