Hasbro? MLP MMO?

[cider float 2,538]

With the way MLP is so popular on the internet why wouldn't a MLP MMO bring out the payrolls? Subscription or microtransanction either way could be a good business venture. I can already imagine people paying for the bat wings from the online store.

Are you talking about Hasbro making a MMO MLP related? That would be awesome. There already is a MMO for MLP made by bronies (though pretty much still in development). 

[Justin_Case001 4,901]

I would love a real MLP game, but I refuse to get involved in subscriptions or any similar flim flam.  Never have, never will.

After that Transformers MOBA they were making flopped, I joked that Hasbro should replace it with an MLP MOBA.

 

"At least that would be a guaranteed success" said a non-brony friend of mine.

It would be rated E though and you can't say inappropriate things in it because kids could be playing too.

Theres a fan made one in the works:

An official one will never happen. Making an mmo is too expensive and risky for Hasbro to want to take a swing at it.

[AmberDust 1,118]

I would love to play that...where you start the game choosing a race and customizing a character...

I dont really think its a good idea.There was Mmo from fans but it was canceled but as we see Fallout Equestria rpg is still in development.I mean Mlp is family freindly show there cant do to much.

The older audience would be doing that anyway on the chat box or even voice chat.

 

Hasbro would never make an MLP MMO. As much of a good idea it is and the amount of money it would bring them, I don't think they're capable of doing so.

I actually think FIM would make for a better MOBA than Transformers actually; the magical nature of the characters gives them more unique abilities when ponies are compared than when you compare individual transformers to each other.

 

 

Applejack would make a great pudge type character with her lasso and more physical/tanky nature. Just she wouldn't have pudges fart cloud.

 

Twilight would probably be a great Caster carry type character, with her ultimate changing her into an alicorn.

 

Rarity would actually be a bit harder since, while fans have LOTS of fanon of her having Gemkinesis and stuff, outside of power ponies she has little to no combat capabilities.

It would have to be very kid friendly MMO similar to Club Penguin.

[Draxon 214]

I think that it might be necessary to eliminate player chat altogether (or maybe limit it to certain preset dialogue options) in order to guarantee a clean environment for the children who would want to play the game.  I doubt that any violence, or very minimal violence, would be a part of such a game, for the same reason.  That said, I would still totally play a game lacking these qualities if it were set in the MLP universe and let players control their own OC.

I'd love to see it happen. So far, all we've got is the fan game Legends of Equestria, which is still awesome in its own right.

[The Awesome One 1,315]

The way I see it, Hasbro has two options.

 

• They make a Club Penguin style game which little girls can play online and socialize with other ponies on in a child-friendly environment. Some in-game purchases and some pony versions of classic arcade games. All taking place in an open world Equestria. Game would be 2D.

 

• Hasbro roll out some big dough instead of making an MMO online for little girls and try to make some money from the bronies too by making a 3D action game with it's own original storyline involving the Mane 6 and other side characters as playable characters in the game where you can explore Equestria and places outside it such as the Gryffon Kingdom. A main storyline with some mini-games as well.

Sounds good in theory but if it was actually done it probably wouldn't turn out so good. Hasbro would likely make very simplistic, something like club penguin or bin weevils, plus you'd have a community filled with children, and let me you that is not pleasant. 

[Toast 55]

I had actually posted a topic similar to this one almost a year ago.

 

that would be awesome if Hasbro would take this idea into consideration though... You should try Legends of Equestria.

Every MMO community is filled with children... used to it.

[ponylaces 1,870]

I'd play it.

 

I played tons of MMOs when I was younger. Now that I've grown out of them, an MLP MMO would be something I'd love to play.

[cider float 2,538]

Some quests that would be interesting to do in the MMO.

 

1. Take mail from the post office and take it to Ponyville.

2. Help escort timid Fluttershy and her baby chicks through Everfree Forest

3. Protect and herd Applejack's sheep from the Tinderwolves.

4. Gather party supplies for Pinkie's Party

 

Crafting would definitely be important in a community based show used for questing. Gather parts and craft. Adventuring in Everfree Forest for more parts and fighting enemies. Minigames.
