Its been a few months since the Bethesda / Interplay case was out of the courts and now its seems that Interplay is making good on its intention of bringing a Fallout MMO into the world.  Speeding along various game sites I've noticed today that Interplay is now accepting sign-ups and beta invites on the Fallout Online website. (The website itself is just what you would expect from the Fallout Universe.  Dusty 50's implements of living strewn about, a bit of the rusted metal and all of it being serenaded with some sultry old tyme music.

Apparently July 2nd also brought about the first Fallout Online Newsletter which I, somehow, completely missed.

LOS ANGELES - July 2nd, 2010

Interplay Entertainment announces the first newsletter from the official FALLOUT® ONLINE registration site.

Mutants and non-mutants who registered at the FALLOUT® ONLINE site are starting to receive tales from the wastelands. Interested players who sign up are on the fast-track for beta-testing and get the added bonus of a free subscription to the pre-release electronic newsletter. (No additional flora will be harmed by the production of this newsletter.) Subscribers may end their participation at any time, again without cost or additional fees. We are just that kind and giving.

Interplay's FALLOUT® ONLINE is a massively multiplayer RPG set in the award-winning and best-selling FALLOUT® universe. Player characters roam the desert wastes, the radiation-blasted mountain tops, and the mutated forests of the post-apocalyptic world. A land where decisions have consequences and there are multiple solutions to every challenge. Players can decide to participate in the rebuilding of this broken land, seek the adrenaline pumping pleasure of conquest and destruction, or just go launch anvils and ride the merry-go-round.

The registration site is available at http://www.fallout-on-line.com. Register today. Registered players are winners.¹

¹ In a very metaphysical way. Registration does not, by itself, actually win anything. It may also earn a meager amount of our respect and affection, but results may vary.



Not sure how this didn't enter my radar. I must have been doing something completely nefarious that day.

    Ahh, just signed up, hopefully I will get a chance at the beta, providing I am chosen and I have a computer that starts running better by then.

    No, I missed this one, never heard much since the court case, but not quite as busy as you seemed to be Mr Christ.

    Very cool find Joseph. Hopefully this is still going. Love to be able to try this out, though the only issue i imagine for me is not having enough space.

    I don't know, I think a Fallout MMO would take away alot of the atmosphere of the other games. I'm gonna wait till more info comes out. At least a trailer and some gameplay...

    Lawl, Interplay is amazing. "Holes in the ground, holes in the ground, you'll be looking like a ghoul in the holes in the ground"

    Signed up, obviously.
