John Smedley acknowledges that Everquest II players are not World of Warcraft players, as reflected in moves by Sony Online Entertainment to not jump on the bandwagon by introducing a $25 mount to…To be fair, I’m sure that the Everquest II Prowlers were being developed years before World of Warcraft did it, more likely around … Continue reading “Everquest II: Cataclysm May Be On Its Way”
I started playing World of Warcraft again several months ago (and quit again after playing for a month and a half), and unfortunately I had to contact support over the phone to get some assistance. I found that, even at off-peak hours, the support queue was full enough that it required me to call back … Continue reading “My Battle.net Account Is Locked A Lot”
Over here at MMO Fallout, we follow the mantra of publishing and forwarding ego-driven banter, and generally for the sole purpose of its comedic value. Much like how most humorous situations begin with a simple “hey, look what I can do,” the MMO world is no exception to events that begin with high self esteem … Continue reading “Poop Talk: Battlestar Galactica Vs The Old Republic”
My calendar says October 1st, so it must be that three month time of the month again.

No matter what … Continue reading “All Points Bulletin: What Happened”

I only play a handful of MMOs, and honestly am not the best person to go to in order to find out what your game needs … Continue reading “Absolutely Brilliant! Episode #1: Final Fantasy XIV”
I’m going to inject a little politics into MMO Fallout when I say that, much like when former President George W. Bush gave a direct warning to the terrorists “bring it on,” Dave Jones’ prediction and seeming lack of care that All Points Bulletin would receive poor reviews was less than intelligent. Although here at … Continue reading “All Points Bulletin: You Are Dead, Not Big Surprise.”
Private servers being shut down is nothing new, and as much as players like to discuss the legality of them, at the end of the day they are illegal. Now, being illegal and warranting action are two separate things. Lawyers cost a lot of money (generally around $500 an hour), so paying a lawyer to … Continue reading “In Plain English: Why ScapeGaming Was Singled Out”
Two months ago, I changed the “Month in Review” category to a monthly review called “Looking Back, Moving Forward,” and at the time I promised all of you that I would explain my reasons at a later date. As at least one person has pointed out, the legacy “Month in review” articles have been completely … Continue reading “I Can’t Do This Alone: I’m Sick Of The MMO Stigma”
