Interplay Launches Fallout Online Teaser Site

Woo! I made it on, apparently they send me images and crap, which is cool. They're also considering me for the beta.
Oh my god, this is the kind of news that makes a person Depressed ! MMO's Kills creativity for a good Singleplayer or Coop game...
Hmm. Could be fun. Depends on where they set this... unless they go hardcore and open the entire US up. Imagine it... traveling across the wastes, from the NCR across New Vegas, out past (assuming they accept its canonity) the regions only touched on in Fallout: Tactics, all the way out to the Capital Wasteland and all it entails.
Pick a faction, like the Brotherhood, or the Enclave, or one of the raider factions... stage assaults on opposing factions to seize towns and pre-War tech... experience Vaults and underground bunkers and bases a la dungeon crawls with your team... this could be fun.
Only trick would be to REALLY keep up the dark humor elements; they're a big part of what gives Fallout it's Falloutian flavor.

So there is a game that could make me break my rule of not paying monthly for them. I have never played (nor wanted to play) an MMO in my life but I am definitely interested in this one.
As long as they keep everything that makes Fallout great that is.
Oh, and players shouldn't be able to start off in a faction, they should have to be recruited.

Agreed as aforementioned, although I am hoping they will include ready made factions with proper characters (Enclave, BOS, NCR) as opposed to having them purely made up of human players. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to MMO's.Andy Chalk said:

oh for the love of god. Great just great. Once this releases we can say good bye to ever seeing another singleplayer fallout. I hate when a great singleplayer game goes multiplayer, I will NOT be playing this at all. Hopefully we might see another SP fallout after it's released, but it seems unlikely because most series that go down this route stay there permanently.
As I've said before though: NOT EVERY GOD DAMN SERIES NEEDS AN MMORPG!

With World of Warcraft currently dominating and The Old Republic set to dominate, there just isn't room for an MMO like this in the market right now. Maybe in 5 years when people tire of TOR, this would have a shot. Unfortunately, it's doomed to obscurity.
