FOnline: 2238
« on: April 08, 2013, 01:07:54 am »
FOnline is a fan-made MMORPG that utilizes the Fallout 2 engine (or at least something based off of it), created and maintained by a small team of independent developers known as "The Rotators". In order to play the game, you will need to have Fallout 2 installed, due to the game's utilization of files from Fallout 2. Other than that, however, the game is completely free and can be downloaded here. It is set just after the events of Fallout 2 in southern California, and as such you will find many locations, items, and (sometimes) characters that you've met before in previous Fallout games, in addition to a ton of new, original content. The game has a lot of depth, with a crafting system and faction alignments for the player to partake in, in addition to a plethora of quests. The game is also home to some of the most hilarious Russian-to-English translations I have ever seen. It's super unforgiving, with players able to kill or steal from each other in basically any situation, but team work is rewarded, and playing with friends is the best way to experience FOnline (it is an MMO, after all). Because of this fact, I would like to play with the fine wastelanders of Bay12. Together, we shall aggregate power, fortune, and bitchin'-ass plasma rifles (see: power) and rip post-apocalyptic California a new one. If any of you wants to meet up with me or with each other in-game to do some raiding, adventuring, or shit-shoveling, this will hopefully serve as a means for you to do so. I might also make a FOnline Bay12 Teamspeak/Ventrilo/Something server maybe.

E: I have started an IRC for forumites to use to communicate while playing. Go here, select DarkMyst [Webirc], and join the channel "Overseer'sEyebrows".

Me too. Then I reinstalled and updated everything, and it worked fine.

There should be only one version that works  :o. (Unless you ran the game off a private server or something, which I'm not).

It only uses the Master.dat and Critter.dat files. What version of the game or what patches you use shouldn't matter at all.

I remember that game... sadly i kept getting GANKED in pvp by ppl i couldnt hit at point blank...... Poorly balanced due to lvl difference but that was nearly 2 yr ago.

Edit: But i did like multiple systems, such as housing, crafting and some other, but the PVP was.... impossible unless you were in the end levels, and even there....

DF doesn't mold players into its image - DF merely selects those who were always ready for DF.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?
