If you woke up with a strange urge to gorge yourself on meat stuffed with other meats, it must be November…or just another Monday morning. With November coming, and the holiday season right around the corner, we take a look back on what October brought us: Halloween events, particularly in the hat trading simulator formerly … Continue reading “Looking Back, Moving Forward: October '10”
When Bill Roper left Cryptic Studios, I couldn’t help but feel that great change was to come to the world of Cryptic’s two MMOs: Champions Online and Star Trek Online. It isn’t that Roper is necessarily a bad person, just that he loved cash shops with the kind of passion that can only be found … Continue reading “Champions Online Heading Free To Play”
Fun Fact: The last Project V13 article was almost five months ago (June 27th). When I read the latest description of Fallout Online, it reminded me of Xsyon in nature. Being an MMO, the game can’t give you a simple task like finding a chip to fix the water recycling, or escaping the vault to … Continue reading “News On Fallout Online? Hurray!”
Holy batjinks, Batman! It’s a letter from The Riddler! It reads, Dear Batman and Robin, No doubt you’ve put down fifty or sixty bucks on the upcoming MMO DC Universe Online, with the hopes of playing it this November.

Under normal circumstances, I could chalk this up to Final Fantasy XIV having just launched yesterday (for the head start) but at some point I would be injecting rationale and patience into an area of the system where people have historically rejected both. If you haven’t participated in Square Enix’s foray into the newest generation … Continue reading “Nothing Says Loving Like A Non-Functioning Patcher”
I write this article knowing full well of the rumors that Epic Games is in talks to buy All Points Bulletin and either strip it to its core to figure out its secrets (Sylar style from Heroes) or relaunch the title under its own rule, but I want to make a distinction. No matter what … Continue reading “All Points Bulletin: What Happened”
Are you an ex-Lord of the Rings Online player who enjoyed the game but couldn’t pay for the subscription for one reason or another? If so, you are very likely aware of Turbine’s highly popularized moved to free to play (with cash shop) that is coming soon, so soon in fact that many of us former players … Continue reading “Turbine Trucking In 8 New Servers: LOTRO”
Here at MMO Fallout, I try to offer my help to companies more in the form of business decisions, rather than what I might feel that the game needs. 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”
Earth Eternal is one of those MMOs I talked about mainly on my Facebook page, which mostly occurred last year when I was in the beta. The MMO has always been tiny, be it the furry inhabitants that populate the world, or the teeny developer that created it, but not the client that ran it. … Continue reading “Earth Eternal Likely To Shut Down”
