I'm more miffed with IP laws forcing Hasbro to do this or else lose their trademarks.

Yeah, all the Mane Cast characters now have their own pages with folders. The only other character that has their own page that isn't one of those Self Demonstrating Comic Book character pages or The Doctor (11 different incarnations warrant his own page I think) I can think of off the top of my head is Commander Shepard.
Celestia have mercy if Bioware ever makes a My Little Pony RPG.

Am I the only one who thinks that the whole concept of just using real life place names with an equestrian pun is becoming an Overused Running Gag in fandom? I'm frankly becoming tired of looking through "Equestria and the surrounding lands" maps where virtually the only places names are some sort of variant of "Neigh Delhi", or "Marescow".

Yep, yer kinda alone in that regard. Canonically we already have Los Pegasus, Fillydelphia, and Trottingham, so you've already lost :V

@Irish Zombie; But would TV Tropes survive such a troperiffic game?
As for the name puns...its, um, kinda a Running Gag in the show that all the locations are horse puns. Manehatten, Cloudsdale, Fillydelphia, and lets not get started on the maps... Equestria could easily be called "Horse Puns: The Land"

I have no trouble with the show using puns. But the fandom has taken the concept and ran into the ground to the point where it's not funny anymore.

Hey man, thinking up names for places is hard. SO much easier to just take a real place and throw a lame pun into it.

Thy cynical side of me says that Hasbro knew how bad shutting down Fighting is Magic would backfire, and they got together with Lauren to make that offer as a means of damage control.
And you know what?
I'm okay with that. I think it actually says more good things about everyone involved than the non-cynical view.
I don't know if I'm an optimist or a pessimist anymore.
And now its raining flaming zombie pirahanas everywhere.

Yes, by royal decree, all names must be puns.

Seriously, have them make a Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls game. It would give the game team some experience, and it would give Galaxy Girls more exposure. After the drama, it would have a built-in interest. Not to mention that if Faust wants to keep challenging gender roles what better way to do it than by busting into a game genre that's stereotypically male-oriented? I'd play it.
Also, Dance dance dance.

I'm expecting Mrs. Faust to come out any minute now and apologize, debunking the idea as a joke or a hasty decision.
Still, if she really wants to do this, I have even more respect for her.
C'MON AND SLAM! AND WELCOME TO THE JAM!

Once upon a time, the land was ruled by a dark alicorn who took everything far too seriously. The ponies tried to rise up against him but he was more powerful than 1000 unicorns. Until one day, a small earth filly discovered his weakness; horse puns. And so the ponies were able to cast him out, and renamed their cities and their lands such that he would never dare return. The End.

That is precisely how he came into power. Through the power of dance.

Those crystal ponies should have known that choosing an emperor via a dance contest was a terrible idea.

I know, but being someone who likes to world build, it just becomes annoying to see the same names being recycled over and over again.
That being said, though, I have no trouble with clever puns (e.g. Koniksberg, Aix-la-Cheval, etc)
