Earthrise Posts New HTML5 GUI
October 6th, 2012 
Omali Let’s talk about the dead coming back to life. Some of you may recall a long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, that Earthrise shut down due to a lack of funds to fully bring the game over to a free to play platform. If you don’t remember, just re-read that last [...]
Taco Tuesday: Four MMO Revival Pitches
September 19th, 2012 Omali Welcome to Tuesday, there are trays at the front of the line and plenty of tacos to go around. Due to the past few weeks sucking up most, if not all, of the Greenlight and Kickstarter MMOs, you may be glad to hear we are shifting paradigm to having a real discussion. So on to [...]
Earthrise Is Back: SilentFuture Takes Over
May 10th, 2012 Omali Looks like we haven’t seen the last of Earthrise. SilentFuture announced today that they are taking over the MMO, giving the game a fresh coat of paint and a new skeletal structure, and gearing it up for launch late this year.

Earthrise MMO Is…Back? Countdown Appears On Website
May 5th, 2012 Omali During its short life on earth, Earthrise followed a well known and much feared trajectory of MMOs: Releasing far too early and never gaining a following.

Sandboxing: Features, Punishment, And More
March 18th, 2012 Omali I love sandbox MMOs and nothing gives me a better feeling than having a good discussion around what the genre needs to evolve.

Would You Sacrifice Immersion For An Elder Scrolls MMO?
March 16th, 2012 Omali Here at MMO Fallout, I like to take rumors and expand on them in theory rather than posting a simple “this might come out,” so at least if the game does turn out to be fake, we had a decent discussion. With the rumored upcoming announcement of the Elder Scrolls MMO, an announcement that will [...]
gPotato Sunsetting Two More Games
March 11th, 2012 Omali For every day that goes by, the odds of successfully importing a free to play MMO from Asia to the west become more difficult. Several years ago, the only competition that a publisher had to contend with consisted of similar titles with an insane amount of grind, poor localization, and an almost nonexistent customer support [...]
Earthrise Shutting Down Today For A Better Tomorrow
February 9th, 2012 Omali “We did our best to revive the game in 2011, but the time was not enough to keep up with the user requirements. There is a huge interest in high quality open world sandbox MMORPGs, unfortunately the big publishers do not show any interest in the genre. It is unfortunate that low budget companies like [...]
