Thank you for joining me for a night cap. Remember a time when Darkfall was on track for launch? Neither do I. Now, I’m not going to be mean to an indie developer for not making a release date, I know only enough that much larger companies have just as much of a problem meeting [...]

How To: Preorder Darkfall Unholy Wars As An Existing Account Holder
February 2nd, 2013 
Omali Here at MMO Fallout, I have a basic rule of thumb: If I have a problem with something, odds are so are other people. I tweeted a few days ago that my Darkfall account suddenly doesn’t exist, and haven’t had any luck recovering my old account to pre-order Unholy Wars for the discount. If you [...]
Bioware Mythic Is Just Mythic
November 8th, 2012 Omali Keeping track of how Electronic Arts names its studios is difficult, considering that subdivisions are shuffled around and renamed quite often. EA acquired Mythic Entertainment and renamed them Bioware Mythic. In a post on the Warhammer Online website, Mythic has announced that it is divorcing itself from the Bioware name. From now on, you can [...]
EA Employees Gear Up For Class Action Lawsuit
August 28th, 2012 Omali Electronic Arts has had its fair share of bad news just here at MMO Fallout. Warhammer Online and All Points Bulletin launched and subsequently took a jackhammer to the publisher’s relationship with its investors and partners, and the recent release of The Old Republic was met with major initial sales and just as much controversy [...]
Important: Sony Was Not Hacked, 93K Accounts Compromised
October 12th, 2011 Omali A title certain to cause confusion among my readers, but I did so to force the few of you who only read the title to read the article itself as well.

SOE Authenticator Coming To Device, iOS, and Android
August 12th, 2011 Omali Even if you did hide the authenticator image behind several pages of CSS.

EA: Microtransactions Through Live Gamer
July 27th, 2010 Omali Those of you who are acquainted with Sony Online Entertainment are likely aware of Live Gamer, the “legit” real money trading website where players can buy and sell characters, gold, and more between each other without fear of getting scammed by some guy sitting in China watching ten WoW bots do their work. Currently, the [...]
Dark Age of Camelot: Still Thinking About You
June 23rd, 2010 Omali Nine years is a long time for any project. By the time an MMO’s ninth birthday comes around, their community has been long-ago set on what they want out of the game, the developers have found their strong points, and although the game likely stopped growing years ago, those who have stuck with it often [...]
Put Your Money Episode #1: ________ Station Pass
May 4th, 2010 Omali Back in January I asked a pretty simple question: Since Sony has had so much success with the Station Pass, an offer where players can pay the fee of two MMOs to gain access to eight (previously nine) MMOs, why don’t we see more packages where developers or publishers bundle together MMOs to increase subscriber [...]
Mythic Shuts Down Merchandise Site
May 1st, 2010 Omali MMOs, as is the case with most forms of entertainment, regularly don’t see anywhere near as much success outside of their main product and, in many cases, online stores are kept to a minimum, if they are kept at all. Players who attempted to purchase anything from the Mythic Store today were met with the [...]
