The official statement from Legends of Equestria can be found here. Two people claiming to be from the development team mentioned on reddit that Legends of Equestria is essentially the same game as Equestria Online, just under a different title and different leadership. Later that same day, a website advertising the upcoming game Legends of Equestria went live.
On Mathe project leader, RainDrop, took most of the game's website offline, except for a brief statement that 'the team has broken apart' and that a large number of developers had left the project. This will probably go for all canon ponies, BG or not. They also have said due to copyright issues that the Mane 6 would not be in the game, which implies that they won't be mentioned. No matter what, the outcome is the same you get caught and 'punished' by Celestia and the royal guards.
The creator(s) have stated that you cannot upload your own cutie mark due to moderation issues that would arise. Okay, for those of you playing Banned from Equestria Daily, heres what you have to do to get the new characters: Celestia: Become a pegasus and fly to the castle during the day (any day) and enter by going left.
You explore various places in Equestria, like Ponyville. You can make your pony a Unicorn, Pegasus, or Earth Pony, each with their own special race-specific abilities. You will be able to make your very own pony with detailed colorization and its own cutie mark.
