I never played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (not interested in the genre) but I'm with Thorn on this as well. I can't say if the games used to be good or not and it doesn't matter, what matters is that MMORPGs always have certain drawbacks (already mentioned in this thread) and they are a different type of game. It soulds like the same crap that happened when we didn't get KOTOR 3 and got TOR instead.

By the way, everyone please focus on the issue at hand, not on Thorn's negativity. As much as I disagree with him on some topics, him being "negative" does not mean he cannot be right. Complaining about complaining is not good and is Ad Hominem-ish.

A STALKER MMOFPS is better than a STALKER WOW clone, at least.

We don't know if it's a true MMOFPS or a persistent mission-based online shooter.

Wait, Fallout Online was actually released? I thought it was stuck in development *and* legal limbo?

Supposing that KOTOR 3 could be a success, and supposing that TOR was its "replacement"....

Actually, that Kotaku article was updated to say that, officially, Sergei didn't sell the property.
