Bethesda’s Support Website Leaks Personal Information
Fallout 76: It’s a game that was afforded maybe two hours of good press before Bethesda drove it straight into a brick wall.
Bethesda’s games are notoriously buggy, but evidently not even their support system can escape the company curse. Such is the story of Reddit user Jessiepie who found her account suddenly able to view the support tickets of other users including their email addresses, home addresses, receipts, credit card details, and every problem that they are currently having with Fallout 76 and more specifically receiving their replacement canvas bag.
For their part, Bethesda claims that the issue has been resolved. As one user on the forums put it,
“That’s a shocking departure from their usual meticulous attention to bug-free systems. “
Making Memories: Low Cost Tickets Round Trip
At one point, as shown above, you were able to select from a huge supply of Act 3 tickets on Hellgate: Global. Nowadays you’re lucky if there are even any on the marketplace, and the prices above are just a fraction of how much they’ll cost you.
If you have a game memory you want posted, send your screenshots to contact@mmofallout.com and we’ll pick the best ones to post.
Everquest II's Goblin Games Seems Inspired By Squeal of Fortune
I have to imagine that somewhere out there, at least one person has stopped playing RuneScape because of Squeal of Fortune, and wound up playing Everquest II instead. The odds are low, incredibly so, but with time my mind seems to think that such a person must be, and gee, will this news stink. For the uninformed, Squeal of Fortune is a cash shop game on RuneScape where players receive spins either through in-game activities, purchased through the store, or daily as an allowance. The mini-game is hosted by a goblin and has the chance of winning gold, resources, and equipment.
Today, Everquest II revealed the latest update: The goblin games. In this mini-game, players are issued tickets on a monthly basis, depending on their membership status, with the option to purchase more on the cash shop. Those tickets can be used to play one of several mini-games, each of which ultimately ends up in the player receiving a loot box that offers a random item from the list.
So what are the differences? In RuneScape, spin tickets are given on a daily basis while in Everquest II free tickets are offered monthly. Both games offer one ticket to free players and three to members (in RuneScape it is normally two, three for the summer event). In RuneScape, spins cost approximately $5 per ten tickets ($.50 per ticket) with bonuses for higher quantities, while in Everquest they cost $1 per ticket with no option to purchase in bulk.
Maybe I’m just reading too far into this.

Hellgate Global: Status Update and Ticket Prices
Back in July, I talked about how players can get access to Hellgate Global’s Act 3 ticket and Tokyo expansion without paying a dime by paying for the tickets on the in-game auction house. At the time, the tickets only cost a few hundred thousand palladium. In September, I updated the post with another update: The prices for act 3 tickets amounted to around 450,000 palladium, with the Tokyo ticket around half of that.
I checked in on the ticket prices, and not only have prices skyrocketed, the amount of available tickets has gone down to just a few choices. I checked the auction house at 7:30pm on February 1st and found only one Act 3 ticket on sale and a handful of Tokyo expansion tickets on sale. At these prices, it might be easier to just throw down the seven dollars in real cash to buy the tickets from the cash shop.
Hellgate: Stuck At Waterloo Bridge Passageway
When Hellgate: London relaunched, I decided to incorporate it into a new run of features titled “How Free Can You Be?” So far, I’ve already incorporated titles including Turbine’s games, Alganon, and now Hellgate. In regards to Hellgate, around level 16-17 players receive a series of quests that require them to travel to Southwark Station and one that requires them to travel through Waterloo Bridge Passageway. Upon attempting to enter Waterloo Bridge Passageway, players are met with what many are perceiving as a bug: The door does not open, nor does it give an explanation as to why.
At this point, you’ve completed the free portion of Hellgate Global, and will have to purchase a ticket in order to advance. This can be done in one of two ways: The ticket is available on the cash shop for 4000 tcoin ($4 USD). Since the minimum amount you can load into your account is $5, this will leave you with 1000 coins left to spend on your heart’s desire.
Alternatively, Hanbitsoft has decided to make the Act 3 tickets tradeable, meaning you can buy them in the in-game marketplace from other players who bought them from the cash shop. So if you’re a pro at grinding money, you can play Hellgate Global entirely for free.
Tickets on the marketplace go for over four hundred thousand palladium and unlocks the rest of the game, and applies to the whole account.
[Update Sept 9th]: A lot of people have asked me to post this up: If you already have the Act 3 ticket and still can’t get into Waterloo Bridge, check your missions. There are several that must be completed before you can enter Waterloo Bridge, regardless of if you’ve activated the ticket or not.
