    11. Wow, that's pretty cool, was never a fan of Second Life though but good on you Brony.

      Also, after reading these comments I went back for a second look - and yes, they do have very fat asses (I lol'd hard). Should probably be fixed.

      ReplyDelete
    12. 50 bucks?
      AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
      no

      ReplyDelete
    13. The price is a placeholder... You'd know that if you'd spent more than five seconds on reading the post.

    14. FFFFFFFF, I wanted to try something like this, but I haven't had the time or the functionality to do so. Kudos to the person working on it, they've gotten further than I ever would anyways. XD

      The "fat flanks", so far it looks like an unfinished issue of getting the hip joints to rotate without totally looking wrong, and disguising the normal avatar body. It can be done, but requires fine-tuning, but as a beta, it probably hasn't been covered yet. I'm not sure what combination of methods were used to form that shape anyhoo.

      A BIGGER concern, I've not been playing for a while, but I wonder if there's any sort of potential snag in the future with selling these avatars or maintaining that sim, with MLP being some other entity's copyright/whatever.

      If they got PERMISSION to make stuff in Second Life, that'd be amazing. Worst comes to worst, Hasbro decides to troll fans.

    16. I see Torley becoming a watermelon pony in the near future.

      ReplyDelete
    19. NOOOOOOOOOOO I'M done with SL stop dragging me back in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      What is it about ponies that invade every part of life that make me want to get back into stuff like this?! whats next World of war - http://knights.calltoreason.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/celestialsteed.jpg - ok, thats technically before MLP...

      ReplyDelete
    20. Wait...Second Life is still going? O.o

      ReplyDelete
    21. Wow, figuring out SL's monstrous user interface took hours. You have to actually have your avatar hold the box just so you can open it and put the stuff into your inventory? The box itself was already in the inventory for pony's sake!

      And after finally managing to ponify myself, I dunno where to go. Is there someplace where the brony group gathers?

      ReplyDelete
    22. Yay, a reason for Casey Schreiner to mention ponies on the MMO Report, and thus bring-back 'WTF Second Life'.

    27. Funny that the male one would be finished first. Unless this IS the female model.

      I tried second life a while back but my PC was a bit slow with it and I really could not get into it.

      Maybe I'll try it agian but I think only the freaks are still playing it.

      ReplyDelete
    28. That things name is Ralph? lol I saw pics of him before, never knew it was part of more then an inside joke XD

      In order to get the pony avatar and all the accesories, you just join to the "Bronies" group and get all the items they have in group notices, or go to the sim called "Sim" and have the base pony here. However, I suggest to join to the group to meet awesome bronies.And, if you see an Alair bronie, say hi to him.

      ReplyDelete
    47. Can anyone point me towards a Second Live for Dummies guide? I made an account, joined the group, and I THINK I downloaded the package, something called Earth pony Beta. No friggin clue what to do with it. When i double click I get a box on my hand. Can anypony gimme a clue??

      ReplyDelete
    48. find a area that allows you to build, then drag the item from your inventory to the ground

      the box will "rez" then you can right click and select open

      then select copy to inventory and it should appear in your inventory in a folder called whatever the boxes name was

      ReplyDelete
    49. oh.. there can be assholes but also decent individuals in SL.. dont get discouraged by the bad apples

      ReplyDelete
    50. Is there any way I can get this now? The links to Sim and MF Bay don't work, and the notice containing the beta package seems to have been deleted after its 14 days of existence

      ReplyDelete
    51. new to second life, joined for this, dont see the package mentioned in notices. any halp?

      ReplyDelete
