Equestria was a world of relative peace and plenty, where the various monsters were, if not subdued, then at least manageable. The ponies and their princesses had things more or less under control. Limitless Saga was an MMORPG, a game that was insanely popular worldwide. The Riders Of Rohan, the most respected and popular guild in the game, was doing well, even if their founder and guildmaster, Shadowfax, was preparing to log off for the final time. It was Trickster's Day, and April Fool's Day, days on both worlds for pranks and merriment. No one suspected that a well-intentioned mistake would throw everything into chaos, and change the lives of everyone involved forever...
This is the first Chronicle of Rohan, the story of the events leading up to, and following, The Brand New Day. The day when everything ended, and when everything began anew...
---------------------------------------
A story in an episodic format, if this turns out to be popular, then there will be a second and third book after this one is completed, if not more.

Rebooting universe.
I'm trying not to grin, but my facial muscles aren't responding. Please send help.
BN's stories are already awesome, but this one seems like it's gonna be a whole new kind of awesome for him.
Interesting, this reminds me a mixture of me between Equestria legand Online and The Chaotic Touch of Harmony, I hope it will stand out well on it's own.
I already like it. It has a slight Log Horizon flavor (or one of the other MMORPG based animes). But that's fine by me!

You should improve the summary. I was confused about whether the game was about Equestria or Equestria played the game.
Meh... I don't know. The premise just doesn't interest me and the only reason I even gave it a look was because it was a Bucking Nonsense™ story.
Even after reading, I'm still very meh on the whole thing. I'll probably come back later when more chapters are up to try again.
This ought to be fun to see.
NEW CHAPTER UP!!!
Oooh! Now this will be fun!
.....why is there not an evil smile? Maybe a discord?
6279760
That's why i'm going with the episodic setup this time. This story will cover just The Brand New Day, which will be a fair-sized story in and of itself. However, I expect, at maximum, just twenty chapters, but only if I really stretch things, which I don't intend to. If the story is popular, then I'll do the next book later.
I came here for lulz, not feels. :(
6280044
There will be a bit of both, but please note the Dark tag. Some bad stuff will happen.
6280084 I shall harden my heart accordingly, O Great Author.
... And thereinlies the problem, right? What Discord's definition of a "day" is...
The ending of this chapter for me:
Still looking forward to how this story is going to go.
I am prepared for the feels this story will contain. Do thy worst, wretch! For I so swear upon mine very name, I shalt not be moved!
6280044
This is Bucking Nonsense. You didn't Expect Feels whiplash?
6280164 I know, I should've had my ticket for the Feel Train ready. I think I'm still reeling from all the other feels.
Damn tuberculosis. Which I spelled correctly the first time.
This seems like an entertaining story.
Man, this story just got a fav from me.
6280296
Tuberculosis? He wishes it was tuberculosis. He was vaccinated for tuberculosis and he would have laughed it off. No, this is something different.
This is great. I look forward to more.
SURPRISE CHAPTER UP!
Thanks for the surprise chapter.
Alright, I'll give it a try. You've yet to disappoint me, after all.
6280689 S'more please sir?
6280689 Thank heck I was up this time of night, or I would have missed this!
6280689 So START PULLING OFF THE SAL BIT!
6280689. I'm loving this story!! I never felt like that reading a story before...
You know, I tried to picture what it would be like if a bunch of people were suddenly MMO PCs... I'm still chuckling about it.
6280828
Funnier idea, imagine a bunch of MMO PC's appearing in real life. Just the thought of some guy in heavy armor running down the streets, and jumping ten to fifteen feet in the air for no apparent reason while people stare at him, with a 'Dafuq?' expression on their faces. Makes me laugh every time.
This sounds a little bit like overlord
Starbound and Lord of the Rings Online both have instruments as well- and I have done spontaneous dance parties in both. Tis always fun! Especially love pulling out Dancing Mad just to see how long people last.
I had a dream, I hesitantly tell you, about this story...
Instead of me spontaneously appearing inside the story, I was dreaming about reading a new chapter. On my phone. Like, IRL.
...
As far as I could remember it, Rainbow Dash was saying that the 'Strangers' had "'Straight-up murdered' somepony, immediately sheathed their weapons, and started a spontaneous conga line."
Then "Discord, Lvl: 1337" appeared...........
DARN IT BUCKING NONSENSE, GET OUTTA MY DREAMS!!!!
Hahaha this is fricking awesome. I am loving this so far. Adding it to my tracking list, I definitely wanna see where this is going XD
Now I'm wondering if you've ever read Mogworld.
*snickers* Poor confused ponies. Discord must be having a field day.
Freaking ninja'd me less than an hour after I go to bed?! Not cool, man! Not. Cool.
(Though IRL, extra chapters are always nice. X3)
6279834 Slight? I was getting slight Log Horizon vibes from the description, and they only got stronger as I read.
Not that that's an issue, of course. Don't mind Log Horizon myself (but oh god the official subs are awful T_T).
6282105
I purchased the blu-rays and rewatched it with the English dub with my cousin but have yet to check out the subs there (I did watch it on the original run on Crunchyroll, though).
I like the flavor of this idea. So much fun.
6280875 But the appearance would separate him from a regular person. Imagine a regular guy guy running around, jumping fifteen feet in the air randomly as they walk down the street, standing around shouting to people to join a group, or just standing there staring blankly from atop a bicycle (because mount). If he was in armor, then he already stands out as weird and the rest can be ignored.
Another enjoyable chapter. Great job.
They have come out with a entertaining looking anime here recently called Overlord. A VERY popular dive-MMO game has been tops for about 12ish years and is finally ending. The anime follows this one guy who had no life outside of the game decides to ride out the final minutes of the game. As the clock hit 12, it keeps on counting. The guy is now stuck logged into the world the game has become, while being basically a God level individual while also commanding the remanents of a end game guild stronghold that might as well have been a FINAL boss dungeon raid that was never conquered. Only just got to episode 5
Next one wont be put out until next Tuesday
Suspension of Disbelief: Broken...
6280828 For something close to it, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw (of Zero Punctuation fame) wrote a book called Mogworld. Read it myself, and it's actually pretty interesting.

.
I've been reading the manga. It's great, and has some funny moments... like the Virtuous King Of The Forest, Hamsuke. She has to be seen to be believed
I'm sort of hoping something happens to help Shadowfax.
