But what exactly does walking on clouds entail?  Will the clouds be shaped like marble, or will there be a sort of foggy mist covering everything?  I wonder what the sound of hooves on cloud is like.

Yeah, I've been wondering about how hooves would sound on cloud. Also, for kind of a cloudy mist, instead of having a bunch of particle effect, they could have a little layer of cloud without a collision box so our hooves are actually going through some of the cloud, but we're not falling through Cloudsdale.

You'll be rather surprised on just how many staff are actually apart of this project, half of them you'll probably never see though... hidden in the shadow.  ovO

I'll just go ahead and ask.

Will there be another stress test like what was done for Pre-Alpha?

Are we going to have special accessories/events/mini-games in the game when there is a special occasion/public holiday? (e.g. Halloween hats during Halloween, Santa Claus hats during Christmas and so on...)

Maybe there should be one for a week when you guys hit alpha, just to make sure the servers work with the additional server lag that is likely to happen from the quests, and the new abilities and stuff.

There was a lot of lag for me in the stress test. Sometimes when I went through portals, it stopped responding and took a long time to get there. Will that be fixed or is it just my laptop?  >.<

I mean our servers will hopefully be upgraded by beta and dont worry you werent the only one to get lag
in the cities there was lag because the amount of ponies in each city running around and talking

also I know they have been able to run the game on crappy computers, so if you computer is like 2-3 years old you should be fine, I mean mine is like 5-6 and I could play it with minimal problems

I got mine early summer this year. Maybe it's because the space left is almost gone....

Could've sworn people were falling into the void, not the nether. :P The nether has more lava and evil creatures.

There was a lot of complaining about that. Seemed like if one person fell or got trapped, nearly everyone else did the same just to see what would happen. lol
Wait for it...
