Virtual Reality Equestria

[PonyFunk 155]

If you could enter Equestria in a vrmmorpg (virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game) would you ever want to return to the real world?

[Torn 17]

Not in a million years. I would befreind all the ponies

[Obstinance 21]

If it's anything like the Oculus Rift, I would get motion sick pretty quick, so it's safe to say I wouldn't play long. Plus, a virtual reality Equestria would just cause me to feel melancholy due to the inability to ever actually go to Equestria. It's a fair question though, and I'm interested to see other people's thoughts on the matter.

never, ever I would stay there until I died it would be absolutely amazing all of the epic quests would be mine

[Confucius 194]

Compared to earth, Equestria is paradise. I would rather die than go back. I would still wish to communicate with friends but would want to live in a better place.

I was actually talking about the possibility with a few friends of mine.

 

Exploring a virtual reality Equestria would be freaking amazing. ^^

I'd have to. Job to pay for my MMO. Good food to eat. Plenty of sleep to get. And concerts to go to. Sorry, not even ponies can replace mosh pits. 

 

Although this sounds similar to a subset of MLP fics called the optimal-verse.

If it was just a standard MMO, then I'd play it, but I'm sure that I'd get bored after a while.  I'd love to see an MLP themed MMO, and exploring Equestria in first person would be an interesting experience, but it would ultimately just be another game...

well, if it was full-dive technology as in Sword Art Online, then yes. nothing can replace the real world, imho. i would spend a vast majority of my time ingame, though.

You, miss/sir, are brilliant. 

 

Now get Blizzard (makers of World of Warcraft), Hasbro (kind of a duh) and Facebook(owners of the Oculus Rift) and tell them to make this.

 

Millions. You'll earn millions.

 

I'd certainly play it.

[Hocus Pocus 636]

OF COURSE I'D WANT TO GO BACK!

 

It'd be incredibly shallow of me to just disappear and never return. The thought of throwing out all my friendships for anything absolutely sickens me!

 

I'd like to remind everypony of how Rainbow Dash was tested by the Shadowbolts in the first episode, friendship isn't just something you can toss aside as soon as something new comes around... I mean... that's just.... despicable!

Considering it is a video game I wouldn't want to be staying. Gaming, as a medium, has severe limitations. Games like Skyrim, even though they can totally engross you in the world and the people, suffer certain limitations. I can only spend so much time in places like Tamriel, Thedas, or Gransys before I have to return to the real world.

 

In the end I do not see virtual reality being any different at this point.

[EchoPone 6]

Well, think about it.

It is just a video game, of course.

No matter how realistic it seems there will always be that thought of knowing you're not really in Equstria.

Even with that said, It would still be a awesome idea!

Would I want to return, Yes. 

Like I said, it's still a video game.

You can't just continue playing it, and not worry about your real life.

In order to even make it worth playing, we would need to improve a lot in technology to make it seem like a real reality, outside of ours.

Still, a very good idea.

I don't know.

 

If i see Twilight like this saying:

 

 

"Hello, i am Twilight Sparkle. You will go where i go, befriend who i befriend and study what i study. *wink*"

 

Maybe then i would stay there.
