My MMO Is Not A Car (Please Stop Comparing Them)


I read an interesting conversation about World of Warcraft “clones” (because I can’t say no to a topic I know will leave me steaming), someone brought up cars, and why no one refers to today’s cars as “Model T clones,” or “Ford clones” because Ford made the first commercially viable automobile. This got me thinking, … Continue reading “My MMO Is Not A Car (Please Stop Comparing Them)”

At least one of you read the Where To Buy page in the past few days and noticed just one issue with Star Trek Online: Purchase On: Standard Edition Amazon (unavailable) Direct2Drive (unavailable) Gamersgate (unavailable) Impulsedriven (unavailable) Steam (unavailable) Digital Deluxe [$14.99] Amazon [$29.95] Direct2Drive [$14.95] Gamersgate [$14.99] Impulsedriven [$14.99] Steam I quickly sent an email to Cryptic as to … Continue reading “Star Trek Online: No More Standard Edition”

Final Fantasy XI No Longer Murdering Newbies


Alright, so murder isn’t quite the right word. More like Square Enix is no longer greeting new players by smashing their teeth in with a baseball bat, and force feeding them the aforementioned teeth. Final Fantasy XI launched in 2002, and after almost nine years of development and several expansion packs to boast, one of … Continue reading “Final Fantasy XI No Longer Murdering Newbies”

Progressing Through Everquest On Fippy Darkpaw


Everquest doesn’t have what you would call “sexy” graphics, so to speak, although throughout the past twelve years the game has always had a certain kind of charm to it that keeps us going back every year or so. When you take a game as old as Everquest, undoubtedly there are players who missed the … Continue reading “Progressing Through Everquest On Fippy Darkpaw”

What The Hell Happened This Week? Catching Up Edition


In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been out in North Carolina for the past week or so (hence the lack of updates) in a period of what I can only refer to as not having the internet, at all. But, now that I’m back, it’s time for a quick wrapup of what I should have … Continue reading “What The Hell Happened This Week? Catching Up Edition”

Interplay To Bethesda: No, You’re Absurd!


Back in April I happily announced that the Interplay Vs Bethesda lawsuit was over, after an investor reported to Joystiq that Bethesda had dropped their suit. Of course, as we discovered in our long and incredibly painful interrogation of investor Frymuchan, Bethesda confirmed that they were not dropping the suit, and planned to continue full … Continue reading “Interplay To Bethesda: No, You’re Absurd!”

Target/Walmart Pulled Final Fantasy XIV From Shelves


As per my own rules, I try to keep the product sales relegated to digital distribution, mainly because considering retail giants would require me to either include stores from a number of countries, increasing the sources I have to regularly check, or just not include any at all. So, in the effort of fairness, I … Continue reading “Target/Walmart Pulled Final Fantasy XIV From Shelves”

Preordered APB? Electronic Arts Has No Obligation To Help You


Those of you who purchased APB before its demise are likely aware that Electronic Arts, as distributor, is offering out free games if you can prove that you once owned the crashed MMO. Over multiple forums, players are reporting getting everything from Bioware bucks (that can be used to buy full games), EA store credit, … Continue reading “Preordered APB?

Check Out The New Sales Page!


I’ve been getting some feedback over MMO Fallout’s sales articles, namely they are cumbersome and take up far too much space on the main page, and secondly that they can be confusing if they aren’t updated in a while. So, in response, I’m launching the MMO Fallout Sales Directory. Located at https://mmofallout.com/sales, you’ll be able … Continue reading “Check Out The New Sales Page!”
