I’ve poked fun at Funcom from time to time, be it their questionable business decisions, cutting prices Freddy Krueger style in a desperate grab for more subscribers, and announcing a delay on a non-dated title. I may have opened up a portal, however. If you look at the chart above, that’s the traffic to MMO [...]

Crimecraft Banned in Australia
November 30th, 2009 
Omali I guess it had to happen eventually, what with Australia’s tight limits on drugs in video games, but after two months of the game’s release, it didn’t seem that that ban would be coming any time soon. According to Gamesindustry.biz, Australia has refused classification to Vogster Entertainment and their recently Free to Play MMO Crimecraft [...]
Steam Sales: MMO Sale Rundown
November 28th, 2009 Omali For several days now, Steam has been running a weekend sale on a slew of video games, so I decided to run the MMO sales here on MMO Fallout. Two days ago, Fallen Earth and Champions Online were on sale, however those sales have ended and today’s have just begun. The only MMO on sale [...]
Steam Deals: Good Stuff Cheap
November 25th, 2009 Omali With all the hubbub going around on Thanksgiving in the United States, and more importantly World of Warcraft hitting five years old alongside a slew of giveaways from Wow.com, it is understandable if you missed Stardock’s nod last week to Steam holding 70% of the PC sales market. Unsurprising, as many PC gamers you [...]
Warhammer Online To Close More Servers
November 25th, 2009 Omali I normally start out every Warhammer Online article with a now famous quote by Vice President of Mythic Mark Jacobs, but at this point perhaps we can manage with just a bite, “If you’ve seen a game consolidate servers, you know it’s in deep, deep trouble.” -Mark Jacobs Following the huge layoffs at Mythic, and [...]
NCsoft Nukes Aion, Bans 16,000: I Offer My Services
November 23rd, 2009 Omali Segueing to our next topic, look it’s Aion again! Barely a day after announcing the introduction of G-Unit (Not the rappers, as I discovered) to fight bots in Aion, NCsoft has announced a mass ban following the maintenance reboot earlier this morning. Nearly sixteen thousand accounts, too. The bans are anything from gold farming, botting, buying [...]
G-Unit Coming to Aion: Botters Beware.
November 23rd, 2009 Omali I don’t know about you, but when I think of botters and gold farmers, just the mere thought of “U buy g0ld n0W, cheep pricz, accounts, wWwDoTChInaGolDdotCoM” makes me want to pop a cap. Luckily for me, and any Aion players out there, NCsoft has just the answer: The MMO developer has hired G-Unit to [...]
A Downward Spiral Does Not Mean Death.
November 21st, 2009 Omali I like to take some time every now and then to detail certain parts of MMO Fallout, usually terms and expressions I use, that generates the most feedback from fans. More recently, I’ve had a few questions about my consistently ending certain product articles (Star Wars Galaxies, Age of Conan, Planetside, and several others) with [...]
Get It All: Star Wars Galaxies $10
November 19th, 2009 Omali I often try to keep people informed of various sales for MMOs they may be on the edge of purchasing, as I did with Direct 2 Drive’s small selection of MMOs during their 5th year anniversary sale (You will remember Age of Conan, Planetside, and Eve Online were five dollars for approximately a week). [...]
A Call of Duty MMO?
November 18th, 2009 Omali I’ve played every Call of Duty game since Call of Duty 1, and I have to say the most recent iterations (Modern Warfare 1/2 and World at War) take a lot of elements from MMORPGs. You have a persistent character who levels up as you kill enemies and complete objectives. You rank up, offering you new challenges [...]
