It’s around Christmas time, and you know what that means: 24 hours of A Christmas Story! Given that Ralphie Fallout is all about A Christmas Story, how to say fudge without saying fudge, tips on not shooting your eye out, and how packages labeled “fragile” are likely not from Italy, I figured we’d do something … Continue reading “The Steam Holiday Sale is Here!”
Quick joke: What is the difference between Jumpgate Evolution and Stargate Worlds? The developers behind Stargate Worlds are no longer attempting to convince people that the game is launching. Apparently Codemasters has hacked MMO Fallout, because someone said “you’re right, we’re tired of Jumpgate Evolution not being released,” as Codemasters announced this week that they … Continue reading “Codemasters Launches Lawsuit Against NetDevil”

When I’m not fielding calls from the president of MMO Land asking me how to save the world from the evils of free to play scams, I’m generally fielding calls from frantic fanboys foaming at the mouth over the latest MMO to come out based on their favorite IP, and how it will revolutionize the … Continue reading “Warhammer 40k: No Time For Your Stale-Ass Quests”
When Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment was still filing bankruptcy while claiming that they never had the resources to complete Stargate Worlds, we were treated to Stargate Resistance, a lobby based shooter more akin to a four-classed Team Fortress than the MMO we were all anticipating. Stargate Resistance was supposed to be the cash cow to bring … Continue reading “Stargate Resistance To Shut Down This January”

So, in the effort of fairness, I … Continue reading “Target/Walmart Pulled Final Fantasy XIV From Shelves”
Anarchy Online is one of the oldest MMOs on the market, and for the fact that it never appeared much (read: at all) here on MMO Fallout, the game has brought a number of innovations to the MMO genre, foremost instancing, dynamic questing, and in-game advertising. Funcom also touched upon what we now think of … Continue reading “Cash Shop Coming To Anarchy Online”
Last month Mythic Entertainment’s own Carrie Gouskos made it quite clear that Warhammer Online is not going free to play…for now. In the interview with Ten Ton Hammer, she talked about the danger of monetizing power in a title that focuses so heavily on player vs player. There was that part at the end of … Continue reading “Warhammer Online: Buy A Level!”
Sometime around Dungeon Runner’s shutdown, the blokes at NCsoft talked about how somewhere around one third of players who signed up for Dungeon Runners free accounts never got past the client download. Considering Dungeon Runners lists one gigabyte as a requirement on the box, I can only imagine how much the issue transcends to other … Continue reading “Runes of Magic Slimming Up: New 3.5G Client”
The recent release of Darkfall’s “Darkfall 2010” expansion brought along an overhaul to the world of Agon, from the terrain to the dungeons, the villages, ships, and monsters (some of them level up now), and everything in between. A big change, yes, but warranting an article? Probably not. Today, the focus is on changes to … Continue reading “Darkfall De-Trammels With Latest Expansion, Still Helping Newbies”
