Those of you playing Everquest II, or really any other subscription based MMO are probably looking at your fifteen bucks a month and wondering, “Gee. I hope they don’t turn my favorite MMO into a cash-shop money farm for casual kiddies who want to pay to win,” and quite frankly your fears would be justified. … Continue reading “Everquest II Has No Room For You F2P Folk”
Despite my hope that this announcement won’t come for another few years, I don’t think there will be many shocked faces when the shut-down notice is given for Vanguard. Late last year, Sony announced in a pretty solemn notice that several features had been canned completely, including alternate advancement and various dungeons, among other things. … Continue reading “Vanguard Server Mergers Ahoy!”
It felt like years ago that I originally wrote about an upcoming Star Wars: Clone Wars MMO, namely because it was way back in September 2009.

New word comes from Sony that beginning June 20th, Sony … Continue reading “Sorry Grandpa: Everquest Server Merges Coming”

Well those of you who do not play Everquest 2, you’re out of luck (at least … Continue reading “World of Evercraft 2: Now With A $25 Mount!”

In fact, here is a community video recently highlighted on Sony Online Entertainment’s website, highlighting the action of the game. I’ll give you a … Continue reading ““Big” Planetside Announcement On The Way?”

Here at MMO Fallout, a game doesn’t have to be doing great, or doing poorly in order to make the news. In fact, you’ll frequently find that most of my articles tend to cover MMOs in the lower indie section (Mortal Online, Cryptic Studios, Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, CCP, and Fallen Earth LLC), for a reason … Continue reading “The Future of Everquest II Looks Very Good”
