Yeah, they are making pretty awesome progress. I believe they said they were supposed to just get multiplayer working in December, and I believe they had it started in September.
If I was to guess, I'd assume we would be nearing Public Beta sometime next summer, perhaps...?

[Chishio Kunrin]

I would have to say they're making good time, their probably halfway done with world creating, they'll probably hit the combat aspect last

Yup yup. Next up: Canterlot. Then, Cloudsdale. Then apparently Appleoosa. I'm really hoping they'll have Manehattan. And they said in Alpha, they'll work on balancing the races. The ponies aren't done yet at all. So I guess combat will have to wait until after the races are balanced, considering you don't wanna work on combat mechanics and abilities while races are overpowered and unbalanced.

If you look at the FAQ, the only info they're giving out is the fact that they will have a lot of hats

I hope we can take the train to other locations. And maybe a quest on the train to solve the mystery of who ate the desert cakes and chocolates n'stuff. And maybe a quest to save Bloomberg on the train

Oh no, it's gonna be like TF2 where it has a hat-based economy, right?

@thread: I'm guessing the game will go into a public beta this Fall.

There could be more stuff in the economy. Someone on the team said something about food. There could also be potions, armor, and "weapons."

I wonder when a download will be added, with how excited I am about this, I don't think I'd mind playing in  Alpha. I started Minecraft in Beta

Alpha is when they'll work on balancing the races, though, so no one will be overpowered. Putting a range on the unicorns' teleport, slowing down the pegasi's fast-flying speed, etc. Pretty sure they'll work on combat after the races are balanced.

So, will we be able to play in Alpha? I... don't know. But... I'm not sure I'd quiiiite want to?

Most likely not

[Zygrograxgra]

Well, I stopped getting emails about where to download the game 

SweBow, please put this image in the download section.

DO EEET

[SweBow]

Nay

[Zygrograxgra]

Nay

Yes, we say.
Please?

[Chishio Kunrin]

Nay

Yes, we say.
Please?

It seems like there's no arguing with Swebow. If he says nay, then nay it stays.

[Night Pony]

Yeah...we still need to get him to sing. 

[McSleuthburger]

basically Swebow does what he wants, when he wants....he is our pony-overlord

Thats right!

Wait, I thought LoE came about because you all decided to not do say anything unless the team as a whole agreed to it? So then wouldn't SweBow being a dictator be incorrect?

[Itty Bit]

Swebow is so much of a troll, he trolls the ponies encouraging him to further troll the original troll image
DAT SWEBOW

Most people go by god, master, lord, overlord, messiah etc. So I wouldn't be a dictator. Just a god(ess?) 

But to be serious, yes it's true. None have so far done a leap out of their bound. All is decided in team meetings. It worked for over 6 months, and it will keep working. After all it's an voluntary project.
