I should like to play a pony game. A Pony MMO would be fun if you could filter out the trolls and griefers, like having the mods Banish them to the Moooooooon!

You could make the different countries into servers, and have the mods and admins become security/royalty. Random events would be fun, and it would be so awesome if there was some pvp and pve to some degree. Also give it an Earthbound touch with "nonlethal" combat and Nightmare-fuelriffic endgame enemies.

Also sandbox elements :D It would be sad to see immature players giving themselves obscene Cutie Marks, so the system might generate them based on your pony's character data instead.

Yeah, have we ever seen a non-earth with a prehensile tail?

Nightmare Moon's was prehensile IIRC. Though she's an Alicorn so she'll have traits of an Earth Pony if it's otherwise restricted to them.

Wait! I got the CM problem sorted!

When you earn your CM, there are like ten types...sports, cooking, making etc...but each type comes with several CM options.

So sports one makes you better at playing sports, but it could be either a bat, or some sort of ball etc, depending on what the player wants.

Sweetie Belle had a prehensile tail in Show Stoppers.

You could even have an in universe reason for greifers - Discord!

[up][up]That's not really any more impressive than what regular horses can do with their tails, though. Any of the ponies can move their tails back and forth to sweep stuff, but pinking things up is totally different.

The Earth Ponies are above all else compassioant and careing. The (pun not intended) are "closer to earth", and have a better understanding of nature and what not. They know that it takes time and care to do things right and that stripping the land or taking the easy way out may look good in the short run but will hurt in the long run.

I'm not sure why you would claim the earth ponies are all compassionate and caring or even closer to earth. Look at Pinkie Pie. She's really no wiser or more, well, grounded than anyone else. Shouldn't you judge them as individuals?

[up] Would that confer solely stats or an ability as well.

The way I see it is the Cutie Marks should work as the gateway into your prestige class.

I am speaking in general, on a indvidual basis it's obviously going to differ. (See: PP and Fluttershy)

Though, fun fact: in Larune's original concept art PP was Pegasus and Fluttershy was a Earth Pony

[up][up] Stats and abilities.

Ponies level up quicker in their chosen field, and get special quirks as they go along.

[up][up] I just don't like the idea that one race has a better morality than another one.

[up] It would work, and it seems like the added quirks would be basically a Prestige Class anyway, like Trixie's Cutie Mark would give you a more advanced illusionist branch.

Rarity carried the cake box with her tail in "Party of One". Then again, her tail is kinda perfect for that, what with its curliness and all.

The only "major problem" I can think of with a My Little Pony MMO is that they might have to do away with the whole "Two Factions PVP" bit, unless they want to make Griffons, Diamond Dogs, and uh something else as a playable faction that was against Equestria, but would that really be in the spirit of the show? A war (or Cold War like a lot of MMO's like to use it seems)

I am not saying that the have a better morality then the others, just a diffrent focus. Pegasi are dreamers and fighters, the look to the sky and the horizion for answers, the are free spirits that can't be contained are bound, they follow their own path.

Unicorns are inovaters and classy folks, they are thinkers and wonderes. The work on building up the world, and forging new ways and new things. The build culture and soceity and spend their time in lessirue.

All of the races have their flaws (E Ps can be stuborn, Pegasi can be aloof, and Unicorns can be single minded) but they are meant to (and do) balanace each other out.

[up]I really do have to disagree. There is no reason that any race should confer a particular mentality, especially when most of our established characters don't follow that mold at all. All it does is limit characters to specific archetypes based solely on their race, which is a rather poor way to do things in my opinion.

I'm trying to speak in broad, cultural, ideas here. Is every American a pro-business, gung-ho, pull-yourself-up by your bootstraps, we-don't-give-a-fuck so long as we are in charge, imperialist? No, but that’s the image we project to the world...

In fact it's less countries and more states we are talking about here. Ohio VS Louisiana VS New York. It's not about confining to a mold, but rather establishing a background.

[up][up][up] Rainbow Dash is stubborn. AJ is single minded. Twilight was aloof. They shouldn't be constrained with sweeping generalisations.
