Post apocalypse wasteground and hundreds of other players running around just doesn't mix.

Also if it was being made, wouldn't zenimax online be making it.

Never heard of Fallen Earth?

I wouldn't mind a Fallout MMO now that the current Fallen Earth devs proved that they are quite bad gamedesigners with their nooby design pitfalls.

I gave up on fallen earth before they went free to play, the devs could not figure out what dirrection they wanted to take the game, and had no clue of what they were doing.  I cam back after free to play, and well yes decided that I wanted nothing to do with gammers first.

I think that Interplay finally lost the rights to the MMO few months ago.

This is definite sign of the future :)

In Entropia Universe you can play for 4 hours and meet just 1 - 2 ramdom person,all depends on the map size

Personaly i think FallOut is a wonderfull "sandbox" mmorpg material to the devs play with,clans building theyr own towns,the character build and progression is already there and is perfect in my opinion,background and lore is just a masterpiece etc..

The huge problem is not if Fallout is or not a mmorpg material,its about how the company will do it,any game that want to be more than a 1-2 months game only need to consider some aspects like

-Be a single server,just like EVE or Entropia Universe

-Use a decent combat system (TERA,Blade & Soul)

-Be a sandbox,finaly the mmorpg comunity realise that endgame is for single-player or multiplayer console titles

Quote "The Fallout Online title was cancelled by Bethesda following their acquisition of the rights to the entire Fallout franchise. However, Interplay and Masthead Studios will continue to work on Project V13 but will remove any and all references to Fallout to honor the settlement"

Too bad there was a lot of potental in a Fallout MMO =/

a truly amazing fallout mmo is a conandrum.

on the one side you are tring to make the game feel desolate and barren to the extreme.

on the other you are trying to include thousands of players.

the 2 just dont work together. a fallout mmo with thousand of players tripping over eachothers and spamming Chuck Norris jokes in general just will not feel like an apocaliptic mmo....it will feel like FE.....an mmo with lots of destroyed buildings and junk, but far from desolate.

the only way you can make such an mmo is like Dayz did it. you have to make HUGE open maps( i'm talking DF huge) and cap the servers at very few players, like 100 or 200. only then will you be able to capture that feeling of lonelyness and desolation that is the essence of a good aphocalyptic mmo. It's a very tricky situation.

Well, Eurogamer dug into the job opportunities at Battlecry Studios. Here are some hightlights:

"Monetisation Designer", "excellent knowledge of the monetisation of free-to-play games", "console experience - preferably next generation (PS3, Xbox 360)"

It's just a matter of how much landmass there will be.

Look at SWTOR, great post apocalypic wastegrounds because I never see more than 20 players around.

Perhaps BW should do a Fallout MMO

Oh oh oh let me be THE VERY FIRST PERSON to inspire the usual haters who will pop up just like they do in EVERY MMO !

Let me suggest they can call the game "FAILOUT ONLINE" .

Also in the same post, let me be the very first person to ask:

"How long until F2P?"

also

"PvP is unbalanced"

followed by

"Population is dropping, merge the servers"

and

"need moar endgame content asap".

Thanks for reading
