Are you a Fallout fanboy? FOnline is here!

Ever since the not-so-recent-anymore release of Fallout 3, the Fallout series is back on the map. People aren't just playing 1 or 2, but instead an online version has been created. It's an MMORPG currently in open beta, and it's using Fallout 2 as its platform.

You can find more information about it HERE and HERE (the first page of the second link contains instructions on how to install and setup the server).

Is it worth your time? Well, I've only managed to play a little and there is still much to learn... but my first impression is a combination of Runescape and GTA. Does that excite you down there? Note it has a high learning curve and you could probably get killed by some sniper that you can't even see or some strong unarmed characters capable of destroying you with one hit. That doesn't stop me from trying, because what I enjoy the most is the ability to do whatever you want. You don't get censored when you swear, you can steal from other players, you can go around in parties wrecking anything that crosses your path, you can craft armor and weapons, the choices are seemingly endless. Oh I forgot, you can also drive vehicles, lol.

Luckily, it's still in open beta and a lot of things get fixed, removed, or implemented. Plus there will probably be a couple of wipes in the future so you can test different character builds and explore the game without too many high level PKers.

Let me know what you think about the game.
