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?
What are you going to do in the MMO? I'm pretty sure there won't be ponies whipping baddies and PvP.
I'd prefer some other genre since I don't like the MMO formula, specifically an adventure/platformer in the vein of Zelda or Okami. Switching between the members of the mane six to overcome specific obstacles with their unique talents (Think Mystical Ninja, if you've ever played it that is. 
) could be an interesting gameplay mechanic.
I know there's something like this already in the works by some talented fan, but all I know about that is that it's 3D and cell-shaded.

I have never seen it, but I'm not a big fan of cartoons so I probably never will, but I must admit that it was really funny how 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 know the people that kept telling me that Bioshock and Dead Space (although I hate that one) are suddenly raving about My little pony, I mean I was laughing my ass off at this sudden pony excitement.
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.

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!"

To be fair, there's been a few more than a few MMOs based more on social aspects than combat. Besides which, I don't think the universe is that poor a choice to base a combat MMO around, it at least has plenty of giant monsters that like to eatChappy said:
Anyway, I gather the MLP MMO is being done as a completely non-profit project (it has to be to avoid copyright infringement), so if it ever does get off the ground it won't really have to compete with larger MMOs.

I don't really care nor judge but I'm just saying that after being gone for 4 months (I mean I didn't even checked my e-mail once) from the internet it was really weird that everybody was talking about My little pony I literally thought I was in the wrong site, but then I asked WTF happened that suddenly everyone loves MLP?! and then someone answered and I was like Ok, cool! And of course I didn't watch it but to be fair the ONLY tv show I watch is The Walking Dead, I would watch Game of Thrones too but I don't have HBO, so I'm not really going to go out of my way to watch a cartoon about ponies, but I'm fine with people liking it though it's still weird how much people keep referencing it on the site along with Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, War hammer, etc. it just seem a little out of place but I'm sure I would have a laugh watching it.lithium.jelly said:
Even if this didn't sound like a fucking horrible idea to start with, I'd like to point out that tie in games are almost never good. And also that this is one of the worst fucking ideas I've ever heard.
I'm not donating, as I need my money for food and the aprtment I've been eyeing.
However, I'm all for it, because as a free-lance author, I'm always looking for new and interesting ways to waste my time.

Speaking as a bronie, at least a minor one, I'd say no. Of course, this is more because I'm not an MMO guy, but I honestly can't see this being able to do what all the other not-WoW MMOs have been trying for so long: unseating WoW.
However, I am looking forward to the My Little Pony 2D fighting game that's in development...

There are some pretty obscure MMOs out there which are going strong. An MMO doesn't have to be a huge AAA title with subscription fees and thousands of players; anything with persistence and more than 64 simultaneous players will do.viranimus said:
