If that's the only issue, all the episodes are on Youtube. This one is my favorite:
OT: Maybe, if it's good. It would have to be F2P, of course.

Even as a brony, I probably wouldn't support pony MMO. Mainly because I don't really like MMOs (with the exception of SW:TOR which I em looking forward to ) and as some others I just can't imagine how it would work. Maybe with the right execution it could be fun, but getting it right is the tricky part

Rather have a pokemon mmo.
seriously nintendo. get on it already!

Ever heard of Pokemon World Online? (http://www.pokemonworldonline.net/)
Go get it

Wasn't there a MLP MMO (unofficial) already in the works? I read the story and it seemed pretty legit too.

In any case; if I had the money I would most certainly help.

I thought any hint of a Pokemon Online was destroyed when Nintendo sent them a Cease and Desist. Is this a new one or something?

Well I'm unaware about any notion Nintendo sent them, PWO is working though. It's an open beta and has some issues (maps, sound effects, some skills not working, recent DDS attack...), however it's still quite enjoyable and has lots of players

Ehh... I'm quite a fan of FiM, and I'd love to play some of the single-player pony games I've heard that people are working on, but an MMO? I just can't see it working in that setting unless it's purely a pony-themed Second Life kind of thing. And knowing what the people in Second Life tend to be like, I'd stay as far away from that as possible.

No. And whilst we are on this subject, may I ask someone to take the time out to explain to me the appeal of My Little Ponies?

...I was gone from the internet for about 4 or 5 months and BAM! suddenly everybody loves not only ponies but My little pony, seriously I was completely confused...

You both might find some degree of explanation in http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic
and in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olLDrvc1qt4

But it still even puzzles some of us who are into it. We think "Hang on, why the fuck do I suddenly love My Little Pony? Eh, never mind, I only have two more weeks to wait until Season 2!"

Ah thanks. I'm not one of those that has a problem with MLP, I just find it be one of stranger memes.

I'd be Pinkie Pie

I'd be Rainbow Dash, I'd finish the game in 10 seconds flat!

I don't know... Seems to me all MMO's do is bring out the worst in someponies (sorry I couldn't help ma self), I'm afraid it will ruin some of them.

And let's face it, few games ever live up to expectations. I just think it would suck, if Hasbro has any corporate-meddling, and goes about and ruins it for everypony (again sorry).

But I'd probably end up buying it, you know, just because... ponies.

Ok, I watched it, and it's not my thing but I can see why someone would like it but it's not my thing, I don't hate it or even dislike it but as I said before not the kind of thing I'd actively seek out.
[sub]Also I may unconsciously have something against ponies since I felt really awkward watching it.[/sub]

Fair enough. I can't really complain given that so many people refuse to give it a chance at all.

I think most people feel that sort of awkwardness at first. There's quite a bit of cultural stigma against adults (and especially men) enjoying cute things. That's one of the reasons the online community is so active; it's not really something you'd talk about at the bar or wherever. For what it's worth, I found the feeling faded over time.

If they made it fun, balanced and with gameplay not directly lifted from wow. Then probably yes.
