Resolved Issues / Re: Might be worthwhile to upgrade to more modern forum software

2016 May 24, 00:03:58

Thank you for your input (truly - not trying to be curt.)
It is a definite topic of discussion amongst our web developers and it is something they're constantly balancing over the work required to migrate all of our existing tools to another forum system on top of the fact that the new forum system would likely not be compatible with SMF's database structure, so all posts would be lost and all sticky posts would need to be remade. While I agree, personally, that there may be better alternatives, we can only make a change if it makes sense and is necessary. For now SMF seems to work quite well for our purposes.

I am now closing this thread since no further discussion is required, nor have there been any other replies in the last 120 days.

Resolved Issues / Re: A suggested addition for the chatpage.

2016 May 24, 00:00:38

We are aware that this is a commonly requested feature. I'll contact the other moderators and team members involved in making the decision and see if it is a feature we would like to add back.

Resolved Issues / Re: sugestion

We are exploring other options for resolving this issue, but ultimately, as Darcy mentioned, we are limited by the technology we are using (Unity3D in this case.) We will change the format of the website character creator to be able to run on Chrome if we are able, but until such a time, it will unfortunatley not work on Chrome and you will need to use another web browser such as Firefox.

I am now closing this topic because the original questions has been answered. We'll update you guys if there's anything you need to be made aware of regarding the character creator.

Resolved Issues / Re: Pony creator

The character creator is essentially a port of the in-game creator and as long as it is updated along with the game, all codes should work 100% of the time. The issue, as Mizuki mentioned, is that it is not a big priority to update the website character creator. In addition, as we develop the game further, it is inevitable that your codes will become invalid since the internal structure of the pony data will be changing. We apologize ahead of time, but it is a necessary eventuality. Development must move on!

Resolved Issues / Re: Filter/Limit

2016 May 23, 23:24:24

This is an issue we are aware of and we are looking into options to either prevent this or fascilitate moderators' abilities to respond to these situations and take action accordingly. Since this is on our internal list of things to work on, I am closing this thread to further discussion. We'll let you guys know if anything changes that you need to be made aware of.

Resolved Issues / Re: Two Suggestions

2016 May 23, 23:19:46

I can confirm that the game, once fully developed, will start you out as a filly/colt where you have to do a series of quests to discover your talent mark. Once your talent mark has been discovered (chosen), you will grow up and continue the rest of the game. The decision as to whether you will be able to remain a filly/colt after you get your cutie mark is undecided presently and we have no plans to allow players to access the majority of mid to late-game content if they choose to remain a blank flank. Choosing to remain a blank flank should be a choice solely for RP purposes because it will very negatively affect your ability to quest, combat enemies, and progress much further in the game. Our most recent livestream and convention panel videos (all can be found on youtube) detail this system a little more in-depth if you want to learn more.

I am now closing this topic since all original questions have been answered between myself and Darcy.

This feature used to exist, but we have an email limit, so we disabled it.

Resolved Issues / Re: internet solution

This simply isn't possible due to the type of game that this is.
MMO in MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online.
This means that there will be a lot of players playing, and thus a lot of data must be sent to you in order to be kept up-to-date, which is the only way to play the game.
Dial-up also does not have separate caps for data going from and to your computer, so if you're overwhelmed with the sheer amount of players playing, you won't be able to communicate with the server and will disconnect.

Resolved Issues / Re: Cutie mark test!

2014 Dec 20, 12:18:38

Hi! I have a suggestion to make...
I think you guys should make a test and depending on what they answer they are then suggested a cutie mark for them at the end (they can still change it though)

You just described the already planned, and partially written, quest chain that leads up to getting a talent mark. It's not a test, strictly speaking, but it's full of dialogue, questions, and your answers determine what talent mark is "recommended" for you.

this also happens throughout the game if they choose to be a filly At the start

You can't choose to be a filly. You can only choose to not grow up. Because of how integrated talent marks are to the game, it's still being debated within the team whether you'll be allowed to go very far out of the starting zones before you get your talent mark.

Resolved Issues / Re: Pre-Alpha,alpha, beta gamer testers

2014 Dec 11, 13:52:02

We test the game internally all the time. We're aware of 99% of the bugs going into OSWs, and stress testing the server software and hardware with sheer numbers of players is the only thing we cannot do internally at the moment. That is why Open Server Weekends are also (and originally were) called Stress Tests.

It is not possible to change your username yourself. Your only option is to create a new account, sorry.

This is a known bug in both the character creator and the game itself. We're working on it. Thank you for reporting it.

The Retirement Home / Re: alicornios

2014 Oct 14, 19:28:21

Lo siento pero por favor habla solamente en ingles. Use un traductor si necesita.

The reason you can not play as alicorn is because we are not adding them to the game.
We only want you to play as unicorn, pegasi, and earth ponies.

The Retirement Home / Re: Will there be options to create Zebra (Or other races)?

2014 Oct 14, 12:30:35

Exactly what Night Pony said. The only races you can and will ever be able to play as are Unicorn, Pegasus, and Earth Pony. That means, unfortunately, you will not be able to play as an alicorn, gryphon, breezie, sea pony, zebra, dragon, dog, or any other species/race. However, there may be costume pieces you can get that make you look more like another species/race. For example, we have had a helmet piece for a while that has a horn on it, so pegasi wearing it looked like alicorn.

Resolved Issues / Re: Question about notifications?

2014 Sep 08, 01:14:11

Oh that. I've honestly never used that button, so I forgot about it

I've turned off the option to automatically subscribe to threads I post in, it says I'm not subscribed to any, but I'm still getting them..

That subscription option and the "show new replies" are two completely unrelated systems. There is no way to stop getting notifications from threads you've posted in without deleting all of your posts. That's just the way the system is designed.
