Like all popular game sites that give away something for free, the site has died.

The website is loading much smoother today than it was yesterday, so if you didnt already get the chance, i recommend you sign up now.

I squee'd exceptionally hard here.

I think I may have frightened off the neighbors. >^>

Total nerdgasm right here.

I wonder if they can come up with a creative way to make V.A.T.S. work in pvp...

Yes, I love fallout.

 

[Mr. Grey]

I do believe I already signed up.

Hoping it went through. Wouldn't be the first time I got screwed over because of poor programming.

EDIT: Anybody here get a confirmation e-mail?

 

[Mr. Grey]

its fake. the master lives? the guy was torn to ity bity pieces. NO ONE can survive being torn to pieces, blown up by a computer explosion, and being nuked. every fallout fan knows the master is dead.

It's not, it's the same thing I got from the Interplay Main Website. You can click from there and it'll take you to that sign up.

http://www.interplay.com/

Click for yourself, the banner should be at the top.

And this is Interplay we're talking about, the guys behind Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel... the guys that abolished Black Isle Studios and scattered the employees to be taken by the wind. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought him back... or if someone else was The Master all along.

There is only one guy from the original Fallouts working on this... some developer called Masthead has taken over and Interplay has decided to continue twiddling their thumbs.

Either way, I'm somewhat looking forward to testing it... should I get accepted.

[sub]Not trying to flamebait... just can't really take Interplay seriously until they get their act together.[/sub]

Why another MMO? Why? Everyone knows this is going to be mediocre, at best. I dont understand why developers keep on wasting their time and money on all this crap.

EDIT: Anybody here get a confirmation e-mail?

not yet, sadly

Yeah? Okay then... that confirms my suspicions. Everyone on their forums hasn't gotten one either, save for registering with their forums -- but that makes sense as the e-mail was for registering for the forums.

Because that's what all of the "cool kids" are doing. Don't you want to be "cool" like them?

On a side note, this thread isn't getting alot of replies, I would've thought more people would've been interested in this.

I think it might be a bit late if the clock is telling the truth... or... after the whole lawsuit fiasco people may have figured out that Interplay doesn't know what to do with Fallout. That would explain why they took their precious time actually getting to work... which doesn't really count if what I hear is true that they hired a different developer to handle the whole thing as they "supervise".

A developer I've never heard of to top it off. That doesn't mean anything though, but it does make me equip my Cynic's Shield.
