For those that missed the demo earlier, the Equestria Online team did a livestream of some of the basic points in their game. Right now it is in pre-alpha, but it's fully decked out with it's own online server and people running around. Pretty neat! Check it out after the break.
Oh now it's decided it wants to let me comment. I guess this things just hates Firefox. I can only comment with IE. yuck.
Anyway, yes this game is very cool. It reminds me a lot of Runescape actually, only with ponies instead of people, so that makes it about 20% cooler right there. ^_^
And because of this posting trouble Fiery Blade beat me to it. Yeah there was a poll for combat. I for one voted in favor of pvp dueling. That will be interesting to see how they implement it in game.
Do you think there will be a quest chain that "unlocks" your cuite mark? Or a quiz? Or would you just get to pick a cutie mark when creating your pony?
Combat might be implented as a show-off or something like that - you know, you cast spells, but your opponent doesn't actually get hurt, only falls on the ground or his/her hair changes color etc.
What I REALLY hope for is that they're going to check the players' names. I know it's a horrible job, but I don't really wanna see xXsLaYeRXx or 4554551nLOLxd standing in line to Carousel Boutique.
It can be done like WoW does it with community monitoring. One's username has to be somewhat realistic for that world, and if it's not they can be reported for a 'inappropriate' username and be banned or forced to change their name.
well it is based on ut3, that means that there going to be some basic effects and that this will take lots of pc ressources.
what they did so far is simply multiplayer, that can be easily done if you know ut3.
but what i think is cool is the animations and models, i myself totaly suck at this, but they seem to have some not bad people working on it, actualy i think it may turn to be something good.
duh i wich i had some friends that can do animations that cool, maybe then i would write a game too =P
Anyone else think this guy sounds like the dude from that Onyxia wipe animation? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtvIYRrgZ04 Warning: a LOT of naughty words.
Bahaha I never got into Unity personally, but good job for Pre-Alpha :P I'm assuming it'll be an RPG? Like you choose your Pony's abilities or what not? Keep it up!

This game looks like it's gonna be good!
DO WANT
Epic :D
Want!
It will be interesting to see how they replace combat in the game(they said they weren't going to have combat, right? or was that another game?)
eh, it needs to be about 20% cooler XD
^)'3'(^ SO AWESOME
This game has so much potential, i really hope it takes off and becomes something truly extraordinary.
I'm throwing money at my screen, but nothing is happening!
This looks like it can be something very cool.
I DEMAND open beta nao =D
I can imagine an army of Bouncing pink things in this game already
@Sdash
It's still in pre-alpha.
Also...pony pyramid!
<3
SO EACH TYPE OF PONY WILL HAVE DIFFRENT ABILITIES, PEGUSES CAN FLY UNICORNS USE MAGIC EARTH PONYS... CAN DO SOMETHING...
Still looking awesome so far.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I WANT THIS BUT I DO
Watching them fly was hilarious.
The only MMO I would ever consider playing. :D
"I talk in a manly accented voice, you want me running??............. Okay... WEEEEE!"
Aweeesome. I'm gonna give up WoW for this one!
Ponyville will never be the same once this game is released.
@DeckPony I'm sure there's a way to donate. 8D
DO WANT
words cannot express how amazing this looks :'D
Town full of Scootaloo/Applejack hybrids!
Also, nice accent.
@Jelfes
Everyone voted for combat in the poll - in fact, pvp

This is... is... I'm not sure what it is. But it's insanely impressive.
Oh. THAT'S what it is.
What is... Hell yes!
The moment he did a barrel roll, I was looking for my wallet.
This looks exciting o3o

The first time I heard his voice I knew he was Swedish...
Are the creators swedish? The accent is veeery swenglish-like.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
very impressive so far!
Do a barrel roll!
A little part of me will die if this won't get finished.
Love it so far :)
Two minutes in... I'll be damned but I think a pony stampede has about the same adorableness levels as a corgi stampede.
This is a really exciting game project.
Its the 20% cooler version of WoW

@Rasly
Hi! No we arn't using UT3 at all. If you view the fullstream, you can actually see me starting the game and it say "Powered by Unity".
Then we connect Unity against our MMO server (yes, we have a server. I also say in the stream that it right now runs on "my little laptop".)
I hope everypony enjoyed it and the start of season 2! Stay tuned for more from Equestria Online!
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT
oh and did I mention WANT?
I know it's a development build and all, but will the game have the ability to customize your pony?
It looks great and I do want to see this finished. :D
@Dann The Yoshi
Oh yes! hats, hairs, mane and tons more!
I hope there is MAC support.... :(
@swebow
sorry my bad, i mixed those icons.
I have not used them for long but think that Unity is more promising, at least it seems to be more affective then ut3.
@Drumfreak2421 as long as it is on unity, it will run on MAC for sure.
DO WANT.
My only fear is that it'll become addicting and I won't be able to stop playing. Let's not make it infamous like WoW, alright?
I like the person with the purple mane who kept drifting off and spinning.
@Drumfreak2421
We tried Mac OSX support and it works flawless! (One of our leaders use Mac OSX with Intel processor)
"I can yump a little bit, wahoo!"
(:
Love it.
Bahaha I never got into Unity personally, but good job for Pre-Alpha :P
I'm assuming it'll be an RPG? Like you choose your Pony's abilities or what not?
Keep it up!
gotta play this
@Jelfes shut up and take my money!
reminds me of early Mabinogi.
@Flutterguy it is /)^3^(\
Equestria Online looks so cute. When does this come out?

I wonder if other species like griffins will be added.....
Like what's jackleapp supposed to do? :o
