As its players have pointed out to me in the past, there is really not much difference between Evony and other video games. It’s a game, for starters, it is played with a keyboard and mouse, and is played entirely through a browser. It is owned by a Chinese gold farming company, and did I [...]

Runescape Entry Barrier Too High: Instant Demo
March 31st, 2010 
Omali A monetary barrier to a game can often be the deciding factor for a prospective player. Because of the daunting realization that a company will have to sell not only the client (unless you are Warhammer Online) but a subscription on top of that, it becomes almost mandatory in the MMO genre to have some [...]
The Future of Everquest II Looks Very Good
March 30th, 2010 Omali Here at MMO Fallout, a game doesn’t have to be doing great, or doing poorly in order to make the news. In fact, you’ll frequently find that most of my articles tend to cover MMOs in the lower indie section (Mortal Online, Cryptic Studios, Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, CCP, and Fallen Earth LLC), for a reason [...]
Stargate Worlds Unofficially Officially Defunct
March 30th, 2010 Omali If MMO Fallout was alive back in 2008, I would likely reference back to an article detailing the death of Star Trek Online in the hands of Perpetual Entertainment, and what ultimately lead to the falling out of the title, into the hands of Cryptic Entertainment. The most important part of this story is to [...]
Someone Had To Ride The Twilight Coattails: Moonlight Online
March 30th, 2010 Omali Last year news broke at the rumored confirmation of an MMO based on the Twilight books, leading to shock, horror, and utter bedazzling of many MMO websites until it was revealed that the project was a student project by a couple of people who didn’t even have the license for the IP. It was only [...]
Global Agenda: Free Trial Now Available
March 30th, 2010 Omali Searching “free” on MMO Fallout will net you 97 hits, 98 after this article publishes. Now, MMO Fallout is not just about making sarcastic comments towards developers, talking about Bill Roper, or nagging on Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment. I like to think I do my job well of confusing people by one minute talking down a [...]
Henrik Nystrom Speaks: No Mortal Online This Month
March 29th, 2010 Omali I told you this weekend that Henrik Nystrom would be giving a special announcement on Monday in regards to the status of the game. Yes, it is fifteen minutes to Tuesday, but you can blame my busy schedule for this late news. Long story short, Mortal Online is not being shipped this month, in order [...]
Mortal Online: Big News Monday!
March 27th, 2010 Omali Mortal Online is reaching the final days to make its launch date of September 09 November ’09 December ’09 January ’10 February ’10 March 2010, and depending on who you ask, the game is either ready to go gold, spinning in its grave, dead in its grave, or pre-alpha build (thanks to the random internet [...]
Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment: We’ll Take Option 3
March 27th, 2010 Omali Gary Whiting? Who is Dale Grobois? Why is CME getting evicted? A company with no employees, no game, and massive debt, the Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment saga continues on MMO Fallout.
Play Warhammer Online: Free Client!
March 26th, 2010 Omali Warhammer Online is one of the games I have berated for…signs of desperation in bringing in new players, we’ll call it. One of the first of the mainstream titles to switch to an unlimited beta, players can enjoy all that Warhammer has to offer, that is up until level 10, completely free forever. With the [...]
