@pony how did you get mlp online to work?
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 10:37:03 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze hay welcome!! I played it during their open server weekend. It's no longer running so you'll have to wait for the next event. There's no telling when that'll be.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 10:39:14 UTC from web -
@shadowblaze I'm assuming you mean Legends of Equestria the pre-alpha MMORPG
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 10:40:12 UTC from web-
@pony yes i do mean that, but why dont they keep it running all the time?
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 10:46:02 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze I asked and the answer they gave is basically that running the server would take focus away from actual development. There wasn't much gameplay available and some gamers gave the LoE team flack for it, but it's only pre-alpha after all. I personally loved just exploring and chatting in the game.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 10:50:38 UTC from web-
@pony OHH so there not shut down, when i read the site last year they said they where shutting down, thats why i asked you
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 10:53:53 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze Well LoE is still in development, but Equestria Online, it's predecessor, is not.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 10:55:13 UTC from web-
@pony wait, whats equestria online?
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:01:48 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze It was the beginning of Legends of Equestria basically. http://equestriaonline.com/ Their site explains the history. Like I said, most of the team reformed to make LoE which is still going. LoE's design team leader /did/ just quit (due to real life and busy etc.), and that created a stir among fans asking how the project would go on, but there's been no sign that the game has stopped development as far as i can tell. You can read about it if you want to on their forums.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:05:22 UTC from web -
@shadowblaze also, I'm fine with answering any questions you might have.

@shadowblaze The founder of Equestria Online had some conflict with the team and they wanted him to step down but he didn't so they split and brought most of their resources to a newly christened project, Legends of Equestria. There's also another pony MMO in the works that looks cool, but I don't know how likely it will be to succeed since it's still very new. http://www.raynarongames.com/#!gou/c1xn9

@pony thanks my good friend. do you have skype or something?
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:06:18 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze I do but I very rarely use Skype because bleh.. I much prefer here. Anyway I'll Direct Message you my user name if you like.

@shadowblaze to accept my DM you'll need to subscribe to me by clicking my user name then the subscribe button.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:08:37 UTC from web-
@pony oh ok ill do that now, its just im new here and dont know crap about this site
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:12:37 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze yeah no problem. We're used to newponies around here.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:16:02 UTC from web-
@pony sorry for me being a noob
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:18:00 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze We've all been there.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:18:26 UTC from web-
@pony yer, uselly people call you a noob and make fun of you, i just thout a site full of bronys would be different
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:21:41 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze yeah here newponies are treated nicely usually. Every so often we'll get one who just won't use the "in context" and reply system even after it's been explained multiple times to them and they've been asked to use it. But you're fine.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:31:03 UTC from web-
@pony i had no idea how to comment, i just found this little box up here befor
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:32:41 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's nice once you're used to it

@pony how often do you go on skype?
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:33:26 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze maybe once every couple weeks
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:33:46 UTC from web-
@pony when i go on sites i uselly get bored of it fast but from steam and skype
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:35:24 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze There are folks here who play on steam and use skype a lot, but I'm not one of them. I like that RDN is public social site that I can access from any browser (though IE was kinda sucky last I checked). I wouldn't use FB even except that most people in my area use it to organize brony meetups.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:43:20 UTC from web-
@pony theres bronys in your nabourhood?
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:48:10 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze quite a few. Utah has the highest number of bronies per capita in the world according to a survey thing.. We don't have as much money and can
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:49:33 UTC from web-
@pony you lucky pony i would give my hind leg to live there
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:51:53 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze you would only regret moving here slightly!
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:53:37 UTC from web-
@pony how? its got the most bronys, its heven
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:55:40 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze It depends on how comfortable you felt with Utah culture. You might love it, but a lot of people who arent' used to it find it get's old fast.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:56:46 UTC from web-
@pony aww

@ceruleanspark @shadowblaze I grew up an East coast saint/Mormon so I'm actually pretty normal. I'd say most saints outside of Utah are just like normal religious folks if not better, but inside Utah some feel excluded even if they're friends of other faiths. The advantage of being a brony, however, is that you'll be included in meetups at least.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 12:02:15 UTC from web-
@pony cool

@ceruleanspark what?
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 12:03:59 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze Utah is only heaven if you meet those requirements. Otherwise you're second class.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 12:04:54 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark thats rasest and homophobian. even if i do meet those things but american and mormon

@ceruleanspark We've actually got a lot more ethnic diversity than some places due to people moving here from across the world, but compared to DC it's crackertopia
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 12:04:30 UTC from web-
@pony ?
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 12:07:36 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (unofficially the "Mormon" church) proselytes (and sends non-preaching service missionaries) across the globe in every country we're legally allowed to do so. Consequently we attract a variety of folks, but it's still a pretty small number in comparison to the majority.

@ceruleanspark Also, the gay and lesbian community in Salt Lake City is pretty big. Outside of SLC, I dunno, but my mother participated in it, so I can attest to that at least.

@shadowblaze then again, you're in Australia if your profile is correct, so you may not regret it at all.

@shadowblaze by which I mean the bugs won't eat you whole here.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:55:32 UTC from web-
@pony f*** the bugs, its brony heaven
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:56:41 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze it's partly because a huge part of our populatio, like myself, is pretty religious and conservative and sometimes tramples liberals unwittingly. Most youngsters seem to have a problem with that.
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 11:59:04 UTC from web-
@pony so its a relouges place?
Thursday, 15-Aug-13 12:02:15 UTC from web-
@shadowblaze A good portion of us are irreligious, but because of the higher than usual percentage of religious people here, The irreligious folks sometimes rightly feel discriminated against.

@shadowblaze They're slow going with development and keeping the servers running would mean they might never finish the game. I'm kind of worried they might not finish it anyway. I applied for their team but got no response so I'm guessing they're being picky about who helps out.
