Midnight, Equestria

A hazy little town sits beneath the endless night that has wreathed the magical land of Equestria for as long as you can remember. The moon hangs high overhead, and you are acutely reminded of the mare who watches you from it. How long have you been here? Who are you, even? It's difficult to remember. Everything is so difficult to remember. All you can do is pick yourself up, look forward, and begin to piece your memories back together.

A rich, living, Equestrian world

Begin a new life as a pony in a persistent shared world teeming with life, depth, and exploration, choosing one of three races - Earth Pony, Pegasus, or Unicorn. Start as either a foal or immediately take the mantle of a fully-grown pony and decide what your life should be among the star-shrouded streets of Midnight. Are you a baker or chef, who keeps ponies fed? Or are you the farmer who tills a homestead, delivering ingredients for said food? An alchemist, combining potentially dangerous ingredients into medicine? A photographer? How about a daring adventurer-pony, who challenges the monsters just beyond the safety of town? Or maybe you're simply a weatherpony, kicking the pesky clouds away to keep the night skies clear.

Midnight, Equestria is an RPE MOO (Mud, object-oriented) developed by a small team based on the world of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Taking place in an alternate universe after the events of the show, a blanket of darkness has wreathed the land, leaving the world in eternal night. Ponies continue their lives, finding themselves in a strange new town as they remember themselves one piece at a time, unlocking memories and rediscovering their passions. Monsters roam the wilds, calling on intrepid ponies to face the darker corners of the world... Or to simply relax, fish, farm, craft, or socialize. Though, no matter what you do, teamwork and communication will always be your greatest ally: Friendship is magic, after all.

Besides tactical, team-based combat, a rich roleplay environment, and expansive crafting trees spread across six different skills, Midnight hosts a slew of unique offerings:

• Homesteads - Custom areas expanded on using the gathering and construction skills, allowing players to build the structures of their dreams for anypony to visit.

• Delves - Randomly-generated sprawling dungeons riddled with monsters, treasures, traps and devious bosses. If you've ever played something like Nethack or ADOM, you'll be right at home.

• Custom books - Write and bind your own books! Yes, entire books. Yes, with hundreds and hundreds of pages. Submit your written books to the library, where other players can check out copies with a library card. Earn rewards and XP for submitting effortful books!

• Custom clothing, jewelry, and weapons - Use sketchbooks to design your own wearables and weapons, then build them with whatever materials you want. Different materials have different stats and effects; make your mark as an artisan by expressing your unique style.

• A colorful, easy-to-read world - A UI with a colorful, intuitive minimap rendered in 256 colors, clearly marked exits, and the ability to 'examine' any object to understand its verbage: Midnight is about as accessible as MUDs get. No extra addons or meters are necessary, the game is readable as soon as you connect.

On top of that, we've finalized character progression, utilizing the inspiration system to specialize in 6 of the game's 21 skills. While everypony can dabble in everything, you can only truly excel in a skill by practicing it enough to gain inspiration, then committing the inspiration to a major or minor focus. You'll need to work together with differently skilled ponies to cover your weaknesses and help you succeed!
