Whatever you think about Sony, you can’t deny the deal they have going for their titles. For the price of only two MMOs per month, you can access virtually any Sony game you own. Everquest, Everquest 2, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Planetside, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard, Free Realms, and that console Everquest game. That’s [...]

AionSource.com: Another Reason To Use a Fake Email Address
January 30th, 2010 
Omali My suggestion for dealing with fansites has always been, if you have to register for the forums, use a separate email and a separate password, and preferably a separate username than you use on the game the website is dedicated to. If your game of choice is Aion, an armed bodyguard following you around the [...]
Excuse Me Aion, Have We Met Before?
January 30th, 2010 Omali This 9 minute trailer for Aion’s future is best viewed in HD. What you are seeing is a collection of projects NCsoft is working on for Aion, to be released at different times and not as a single update/patch. Some of the features noted: DirectX 10 Cryengine 2 upgrade New zones Dynamic weather and seasons [...]
CCP: No, THIS Is How You Charity
January 29th, 2010 Omali Inspiring rivalry between companies is one thing, but if given the opportunity, I would probably spur on a competition of who can think of the best way to get players giving to charity. To say that such a competition exists is probably morally reprehensible, but one can dream, in the form of “This is How [...]
So That’s Where The Lineage 3 Code Went!
January 29th, 2010 Omali Here at MMO Fallout, we pride ourselves on being able to not only take important legal matters and translate them into digestible snausages for the masses, but also the ability to refer to a one man team as “we.” With Atari Vs Turbine and Bethesda Vs Interplay on the table, it’s easy to overlook less reported cases. [...]
Lord of the Rings: Keep Your Account Safe
January 28th, 2010 Omali It was bound to happen eventually, but it looks like NCsoft’s recent rise in account theft has bled over to Turbine and Lord of the Rings Online. Just a couple days ago, Turbine placed the above notice on the game launcher, reminding players to change their password regularly. Granted, if you have a password that isn’t [...]
Red 5: Goodbye For Now, West! Hello China!
January 27th, 2010 Omali A man once said, “Those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t teach, teach Gym.” I have a similar phrase for companies that make MMOs: “Those who can’t develop, develop for China.” -Omali, MMO Fallout, on the Asian MMO Market Now, if you’re going to accuse me of implying that the Asian MMO market is [...]
Runes of Magic: No, THIS Is How You Charity
January 27th, 2010 Omali Here at MMO Fallout, I like to spur competition between companies when the outcome can only be good things. For example, two companies fighting over who can feed the most homeless, or who can produce the most adorable puppy. Naturally, I have to settle, but who can donate the most to charity is just as well. [...]
Cities XL To Shut Down This March
January 27th, 2010 Omali With all the commotion(?) over Phantasy Star Universe biting the dust this March, one might think three MMOs shutting down would be enough for the first half of 2010. Odds are none of those people play Cities XL. In an open letter to the community, Monte Crisco emailed all current subscribers to let them know [...]
Chronicles of Spellborn 2.0 On Its Way!
January 27th, 2010 Omali Technically, The Chronicles of Spellborn never went anywhere. Back in MMO Fallout’s infancy, I wrote about Acclaim taking over the MMO, with the intentions of reviving the game and relaunching it the next year with a free to play, microtransaction model. Until then, of course, Chronicles of Spellborn would be completely free to play. Well, [...]
