Races
Equestria online will feature the three Pony races found in the land of Equestria:
 * Earth Pony
 * Unicorn
 * Pegasus

Each of these races will have it's own special traits and abilities offering different gameplay styles. The MMO will not offer players the option of playing as an Alicorn for obvious reasons, such as balance issues and creating redundancy for the Unicorn and Pegasi.

The Earth ponies lack wings and horn but possess special strenghts and abilities such as the fastest sprinting speed and possibly greater strength.

The Unicorn ponies have horns granting them the benefits of magic. There will be several different play styles from the choice of magic a player can use from Ice and fire spells to gem finding spells. Unicorns will have a much slower walk and sprint speed in comparison to an Earth pony but will have the ability to teleport certain distances across the map, depending on where the player points to.

[[File:Pegasus.png]] Pegasus
The Pegasus ponies (or Pegasi) possess wings which grants the player the ability to fly around Equestria. On the ground the Pegasi will possess simialar speed to that of a Unicorn, but will be able to fly as fast as a sprinting Earth Pony. The pegasi also have the ability to manipulate clouds and control the weather in minigames that may give a small global effect on the server however most of the weather will be controlled by the server.
