Allods Online is a very interesting title, not only because of the game itself but the community and the developers that surround it. Allods has what very few developers can boast about, a community where even though players complain about certain aspects, they are very ready to admit that they will continue playing, because the … Continue reading “Allods Online: Biggest PR Disaster of 2010?”
Allods Online is a quirky little WoW clone. On one hand, the developers have a clear passion for making the title the best it can be. On the other hand, they’ve been making some ridiculous updates to the game that make us ask the question: Which now-fired staff member thought this was a good idea? … Continue reading “Allods Online: The Caviar of Item Malls”
The great part of MMOs that feature some sort of offline mode (Cities XL) is that even if the servers no longer become sustainable, the game doesn’t become a fifty dollar doorstop (I use Tabula Rasa to house my loose change, and Auto Assault became a great coaster for my tasty Starbucks drinks). Being the … Continue reading “MMO Vs Non-MMO: Online Life Expectancy”
There isn’t much more of a vestigial appendage on the server list for your favorite MMO than seeing “RP” as the label. Back when I first started playing World of Warcraft, the role playing servers were populated with a number of hardcore guilds, granted guilds that would quickly try to get you booted off of … Continue reading “Not So Much RP In The MMORPG”
Maybe not death. Perhaps where you accidentally clip your nails to far and you catch your skin and it hurts really bad to touch anything for a couple days. Back in early January, I reported on news that EA/Mythic would be reclaiming the European grounds of Dark Age of Camelot from their current host, GOA. … Continue reading “Dark Age of Camelot Europe: Great (If You Speak English)”
Warhammer 40k Online is one of those titles you don’t read too much about, except for plenty of speculation on the part of the public. Announced three years ago, we know now that the MMO will be slated for release in 2012 (Competing year with the Fallout MMO Beta). I’ve wanted to do an article on the … Continue reading “Warhammer 40k MMO: Little Information, High Hopes”
My suggestion for dealing with fansites has always been, if you have to register for the forums, use a separate email and a separate password, and preferably a separate username than you use on the game the website is dedicated to. If your game of choice is Aion, an armed bodyguard following you around the … Continue reading “AionSource.com: Another Reason To Use a Fake Email Address”
Here at MMO Fallout, we pride ourselves on being able to not only take important legal matters and translate them into digestible snausages for the masses, but also the ability to refer to a one man team as “we.” With Atari Vs Turbine and Bethesda Vs Interplay on the table, it’s easy to overlook less reported cases. … Continue reading “So That’s Where The Lineage 3 Code Went!”

It was bound to happen eventually, but it looks like NCsoft’s recent rise in account theft has bled over to Turbine and Lord of the Rings Online. Just a couple days ago, Turbine placed the above notice on the game launcher, reminding players to change their password regularly. Granted, if you have a password that isn’t … Continue reading “Lord of the Rings: Keep Your Account Safe”
