We’ve known about 38 Studios’ plan to bring forth an MMO for quite some time, and with the bad news of late (money trouble, not paying loans, meeting with the governor, not paying employees, etc) it may be rather difficult to focus on the fact that 38 Studios is still working on said MMO. While [...]

38 Studios Missing Payments, Wants More Taxpayer Money
May 16th, 2012 
Omali Ever since 2010, I did not think a developer could rattle my nerves as much as Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment and Gary Whiting, but 38 Studios and Curt Schilling are certainly looking to prove me wrong on all accounts. For the taxpayers of Rhode Island, the investment made by their state government by offering $75 million [...]
MMO Fallout Talks: Storybricks Interview
May 15th, 2012 Omali Looking at my calendar, there are approximately 17 days to go until the Storybricks Kickstarter runs out of time. As of today, 347 backers have contributed $21,522 to the fund, which means there is a long way to go before the $250,000 goal can be reached. Here at MMO Fallout, we are supporters of the indie-MMO [...]
Rhode Island Working To Keep 38 Studios Solvent
May 14th, 2012 Omali Let’s talk history. Back in 2010, Rhode Island lured 38 Studios from Massachusetts to their own state with the promise of a $75 million loan, under the promise that 450 jobs would be created. The loan was a product of controversy among Rhode Island politicians, especially as the loan would be hedged on a studio that had [...]
Getting A Beta Perspective: The Secret World Templars
May 12th, 2012 Omali Entering into The Secret World takes you to a world your crazy uncle Tom always thought was a reality. The Illuminati is not only a real organization, but they continue to strive toward a New World Order by working behind the scenes and out of sight. In the secret world of The Secret World, the Illuminati also [...]
Building My Own MMO: A Storybricks Alpha Look
May 10th, 2012 Omali I know I am not the only MMO gamer who has said to myself “I want to make my own MMO. With blackjack and hookers.” I don’t know about the latter two, but thanks to the power of Kickstarter I discovered a developer who not only shared my thoughts but wanted to make my dreams [...]
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. Interestingly enough, Earthrise will no longer be a post-apocalyptic game, but rather set during [...]
Kickstarters For You: Pathfinder Online
May 9th, 2012 Omali Pathfinder Online has been featured here at MMO Fallout several times, mostly to discuss the more hardcore routes that the themepark/sandbox hybrid would like to take. From old Everquest corpse runs to bounty systems and everything in between, Pathfinder is the dream of some well known names in the gaming and role playing businesses. From [...]
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. Of course it doesn’t help that the game comprised of little more than grinding combat and crafting, coupled with performance issues that drove away much of the user base. [...]
Elder Scrolls Online Trailer Brings Unlikely Allies
May 4th, 2012 Omali Unlikely allies are always my least favorite. The trailer for Elder Scrolls Online lays the foundation for Elder Scrolls Online: The dragonfires are unlit (similar to Oblivion) and enemies are once again poised to strike on Tamriel. It will take more than one warrior to fight off this threat. Elder Scrolls Online is set for [...]
