Given Square Enix’s history of standard features either being implemented in an unnecessarily complicated manner, or simply not present at all, I can’t say I was surprised that Final Fantasy XIV launched without an official forum. Official forums in the ages of Final Fantasy XI (2002) were not common, although many of the MMOs from … Continue reading “Did Somebody Say Official Forums? FFXI & FFXIV”
Vivox is a company you may be familiar with, even if you don’t fully recognize the name.

Today’s “Absolutely Brilliant!” comes from user Gnatbug on the MMORPG.com forums. Gnatbug has a list of rules for how to go about buying an MMO, and although he may be a little too selective (#4), he hits right on the money. Rule #1) Never Pre-Order unless you have played in the open beta of a game! … Continue reading “Community Concerns #3: The Revival”
You may recall that Xsyon, the sandbox MMO from Notorious Games, was pushed back from its original May 2010 release date to August 2010, and then to a nonspecific date in early 2011. Earlier this year, a confirmed date of March 1st was announced, with the prelude going live two weeks before. As Notorious Games … Continue reading “Xsyon Last Minute Delays”
Those of you who follow indie-MMOs may remember that Xsyon was supposed to launch back in 2010, around March in fact, but the title was delayed by around a year because of the need for more content. Since then, the game has received a lot more publicity, a substantially (albeit understandably still small) increased following, … Continue reading “Xsyon Prelude Is Coming Today”
Pending litigation that I received for the sake of this joke, I am unable to quote a certain Arkmay Acobsjay, and his comment about servers being added after launch being somewhat related to the success of the product itself. Just last week, we saw the addition of one server on the PC and one on … Continue reading “New New DC Universe Online Servers!”
DC Universe Online launches today, and like any decent MMO the launch day issues are becoming too numerous to bore you with here on MMO Fallout. Among the problems I can actually help you with comes players who are having issues with their preorder keys from Direct2Drive. According to a few comments in my email … Continue reading “DC Universe: Hey, My D2D Code Ain’t Working!”

“I’m pretty happy this company won the bidding, as I think they have the resources and the pre-existing audience to help make EE a success.” One of our last messages from Sparkplay CEO Matt Mihaly before the Earth Eternal servers and website shut down in what feels like a year ago. Speculation has been high since … Continue reading “Earth Eternal Buyer Likely Time Warner”
私の時は広場Enixについて話してください 私が 通常 言及して ファイナルファンタジーXIVが多分どのように日本で素晴らしいことをするかに. Sorry, I left my translator on. That being said, however, Japan has always been the primary consumer of Final Fantasy-based goods, and holds a considerable stake in the Final Fantasy XI community. So when I say Final Fantasy XIV will do great…in Japan, I don’t mean to imply that the title will do poorly … Continue reading “FFXIV: Amazon Bombed In Japan?”
