Wizardry Online Pulled From Steam To Address Issues


wizardry-online

Wizardry Online has officially launched, and the problems appear to be stacking against Sony Online Entertainment. Players are reporting issues including being unable to create characters, rampant server instability, a mass of gold farmer spam in chat, disconnections and other bugs resulting in item loss and permanent death, and more. While Sony runs around performing maintenance on the servers and releasing patch after patch in an attempt to fix the issues, several keen players on the forums noted that Wizardry Online has been removed from Steam.

SOE Community Manager Piestro posted to confirm that Wizardry has been removed, but that the removal was voluntary and performed by Sony itself, not Valve.

It wasn’t steam, we’ve removed the download for the time being as we resolve the current issues.

Wizardry Online will presumably be added back to the Steam library once the issues are ironed out.

Darkfall Finds Itself On Steam Greenlight


Darkfall: Unholy Wars launches December 12th, 2012, and with luck you may be able to get it on Steam. Aventurine has posted the upcoming revamp to Darkfall to be voted on by the masses and, if the tides are right, approved by Valve to be released on Steam. You can head to the link below to vote for Darkfall: Unholy Wars, even if the game doesn’t get approved by December 12th, hopefully it will be greenlit eventually.

Steam Summer Sales Assault The Wallet


It’s sale time, so get out your wallet and replace the next month’s meals with Ramen because this year is looking fantastic. Right now there aren’t many deals in the MMO realm to speak of, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get in the fun! Check out the current sales below. Remember, as always, prices are in USD and may vary by region. MMO Fallout does not guarantee that items are not region locked, so please read carefully before making your purchase.

Robert Culp, Dr. Breen, Dies At 79


We meet at last, Dr. Freeman.

Seeing as this is MMO Fallout, with an emphasis on the MMO, I try to keep topics related to the MMO business. That being said, I always have a special place open on MMO Fallout for Valve and any Valve related news pieces of note (not Valve exclusively, but you get the point). Most of you know who Robert Culp is, even if you can’t bring up a name. The actor starred in I Spy, Golden Girl, and more.

More notably to many of the MMO Fallout readers, he also played Doctor Breen in the video game Half Life 2.

Breen’s speech in song:

In Pace Requiescat. I’m going to go play Half Life 2.
