If Age of Conan could be transposed into a human being, it would probably call you up at two in the morning, drunk, and wondering why you dumped it so long ago.

If you’re a visitor to mmorpg.com, you’ve probably found yourself stepping into the middle of a controversy. Apparently yesterday’s review of Fallen Earth caused such an uproar that mmorpg.com’s staff saw fit to remove it from the website. I decided to get my super sleuth kit, and by super sleuth kit I mean grabbing part … Continue reading “I Don’t Do Reviews, For Good Reason”

For those of you living under a … Continue reading “Toying With Danger: Learning From Microsoft”

We have, as you know, recently banned a large number of users for violating our User Agreement. If you found yourself unable to log in … Continue reading “False Positives Happen: The Response Is What Counts”

I have to admit, however, that for a title that was as widely panned as Archlord (As I mentioned in my previous news bit, Archlord was panned for being “dull and repetitive” among other issues) Archlord is quite resilient.

It is one month after an MMO launches that the honeymoon is over, as is the … Continue reading “One Month Later: Champions Online”

As part of their 5th year anniversary, you can pick up a few select MMO titles for just $5 USD. This week (Running from … Continue reading “Direct 2 Drive: Good Stuff Cheap”
Aion launches in four days, and the title, much like Champions Online did earlier this month and in August, is stealing much of the spotlight here at MMO Fallout. So much so that I’m putting together a new section for MMO Fallout: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Not that that particular mechanic has … Continue reading “Aion: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”
