Heh... and some people wonder why Bethesda is suing Interplay over the Fallout MMO rights.

That being said, UO was great because UO was new and different. The graphics were appropriate for its time, etc... Nowadays, there's no way it would hold most people's attention.

I'd settle for Ultima 7 remake, hell could even use the Oblivion/Fallout Engine.

Isn't Ultima Online still active, recently expanded and still requires purchasing and a sub to play?

It looks like any other MMO. How do you guys decide which ones you'll fellate and which ones you'll throw under the bus? Do you, like, all get together and flip a coin?

It launched unfinished, which means either theyre out of cash or trying to get it out of the way while they work with Interplay on Fallout Online.

THESE guys are working with the remaining one employee of Interplay on Fallout Online? Yeah, that makes sense.

I don't care about the legal issues, I want a WORKING and GOOD Fallout MMORPG. And that means that Interplay has to lose the rights to do it. Especially if they're "working" with these guys.




They're waiting for you, Gabe, in the test chamber!

I don't find that odd - its a startup and their startup product is a MMO I'd be surprised if the servers didn't crash on release day, and reading the forums they did indeed crash..... So all is as expected

I find it odd that they are releasing retail and yet they only have one gameplay video, and it's from beta.

Confusing how it can have such high art quality and trailer quality but such hilariously bad beta gameplay. Another Investor throwing thousands of $ in the void.
