No real news, previews, reviews, etc? Can't say I'm confident I want this on my PC.

What do you expect from an indie-mod that just launched yesterday?

Indie game based on one of the most popular series on the planet. Yet... no hype, miniscule news andno previews? The biggest news I see is Bethesda possibly sueing them. THAT'S good news for an indie title.

Why would there be news on it? Do you think this guy talks to magazines all the time or something? This isn't the official "Fallout Online" game or anything like that. It's likely half-done mod based in Europe. Even the GTA: SA MP mod doesn't have any reviews/previews - and we're talking about a mod that has nearly as many online players as TF2.


EDIT: Apparently it's made by someone in Russia. Check the torrent on their site - the game has 500+ seeds. There's definitely people who know about this.

Oh, I don't know... maybe gaming sites like GAMESPOT that have FREE FORUMS could be used to create hype and news? Just a thought... I'm not saying that it won't be worth playing (right up until Bethesda sues them), but don't be surprised when people are apprehensive about it.

Your understanding of the PC community is really lacking dude. Perhaps it's the "based in Russia" part you don't get. It's not too hard to spend 5 seconds to research it and find out it's real. You gotta give some things a chance - you know? This probably has been posted on Gamespot before and definitely on other forums. Do you patrol Gamespot 24/7? Do you expect some "Fallout Online" sticky at the top of the forums just so you know this thing exists?

If I wanted to play original Fallout then I'd start up Fallout 2. An MMO is stupid imo, and that's why you're not getting the hype you wanted.

you can kill anything you want (if it won't kill you before) just killing other players won't give you XP, maybe there will be some special arenas who knows.. I'm struggling with it too ;)

Alright, I got it working but it's pretty laggy. There seems to be a lot of players so I'm going to assume that the servers aren't stable at this second. I'm excited for when they get things a little more stable.

It looks interesting, but it is pushing the bounds of copyright I think. As long as the creator(s) don't try and charge for it then Bethesda will probably ignore it - and as long as no one posts links on that site to the illegal dl of the needed files, then only people who already bought the FO 2 game can play so it sorta is in a grey area I guess.

Games do not have to sell millions of copies to become popular to their fanbase - Fallout has one of the most fanatical followings of any game out there, and when they were produced games rarely sold in the 'millions' of copies range. Also, if the series wasn't popular.. why in Hades would Bethesda take a risk at Fallout 3? Game companies don't take risks on established story lines if there is a fear there will be no market, but the market has been there since Fallout 1 was released.

There's nothing illegal about it. I can't really get this working too well, but once it is working we should create a Gamespot clan. We'll claim some regions for ourselves. ;)

There is PLENTY illegal about it. But Bethesda doesn't have the rights to a Fallout MMO, and Interplay has no money to sue anyone at the moment. So it should be fine legally for now XD

Want to elaborate? There isn't a single thing that comes to mind that makes this illegal.

No im sorry FALLOUT is NOT one of the most populer series on the planet. You seem to be mistaking popularity for fan following's.

This is a mod that turns your Fallout 2 into an MMO. It's got quite a fan following - but it's a Russian one. :P

Played it for a little bit. Met some friendly people. So far it looks pretty killer but there's a good amount of lag. Once that is resolved, I can see myself having some real fun with this.

yea they don't have it all done yet, the good thing is that it's fanmade and thus 1) there will be patches for everything 2) you can have your ideas implemented in the game

the server was yesterday laggy.. maybe too much players, anyway about the versions.. it's not just language difference.. these are 2 seperate project (God knows why) one is developed in Russia. one in Europe.. you need just one installation and then to choose where to play just switch IPs in the config.

And about illegality.. well.. engine is brandy new, it just uses textures and models form the older fallout I think if you will look at it as a mod, it's totally alright.. besides the brand will be alive and active.. it's like Paris Hilton.. as long as she is active her shoes and parfumes will be sold =)
