BioWare announced that it is planning its own massively multiplayer online RPG, and is opening a studio in Austin, TX to work on the game. According to the press release, the MMORPG will combine "the best of BioWare's great past games with a compelling persistent online experience". BioWare is hiring for the new studio, with job postings available at

Everyone has already jumped on the band wagon. Anyone else who joins now is considered to be a straggler. These software companies (unfortunately) feel they better do something or else they're missing out. What that means for the rest of us is a lot more of the same old stuff. Hopefully Bioware will come up with a new idea entirely and steer clear of the fantasy genre. Only time will tell, I suppose.
Maybe not Fallout Tactics, but I would be all over a Fallout based MMO game. Can you imagine how much fun a development team could have with that universe...
Unfortunately with the current holier than thou attitude in the US it would take a real brave developer to do that. I mean the game has sex, drugs and ultra violence.
Too bad. Something like this might convince me to jump the MMORPG bandwagon.
