Legends of Equestria

Another Fan made game currently in Pre-Alpha development (Non-open beta), Legends of Equestria is a MMO, free to play game based in the world created by Hasbro in the television show My little pony: Friendship is Magic. Character creation and customization is an important part of any MMO/RPG, and this game provides 3 playable species (Unicorn, Pegasus, Earth), RGB (Red Green Blue) color editing, and Cutie mark (Tattoo that determines occupation and Fate) obtained through completion of tasks to identify what the player is best at. Unlike many Free to play MMO's this game features a fully 3-D world that has interior rooms within every house, a combat system, and many other features a full price game offers. A demo is shown below.       
The project is a large group of fans programming, drawing, and even serving as a legal Team. From their legal team on the Legality of the project, Hasbro has allowed them to construct the game, they are not for or against using the world in the game but in regards to the characters from the show: "Due to potential copyright issues, we instead chose to allow players to have their own unique adventures". Although this is still an unofficial name, I feel the Remix Generation is an adequate name for this generation, especially if companies begin to put copyrights aside and focus more on the consumer. Hasbro is an inspiration as a company to allow so many people to use its copyrighted characters, and as a result their profits have increased due to more fans of the show learning about it from these remixed creations. The game will also be 100% family friendly with no blood, extensive word filter, and a skilled team of moderators.
