Good times: http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewt ... sc&start=0

Something I've always wondered... who exactly was "388" in that thread?

Maybe their user name was the collective IQ scores of Herve Caen and FOBOS's development team?

If you read the first part in About Interplay section you will realise why they put up the webpage and why they are bringing the forum up.

See that last part there.

That means that they are making Fallout mmorpg.

They don't have the resources to make a fucking paper hat not to mention a Fallout mmorpg.

I saw some correspondence between Herve and a former IPLY-employee somewhere on the net (some link at NMA), and apparently Herve does'nt have the money to make a paper hat, much less a mmorpg. He still owes a bunch of money in unpaid wages, which he is completely unable to pay. The next part of the drama may be that the former emplyees takes Herve to court, a move which will undoubtably bankrupt the guy.

However, I ALSO saw some mention that someone had dug into his financial situation, and found that he may have a nest-egg hidden away somewhere.

So who really knows? I'm eagerly awaiting the next development.

Erm mmorpg doesnt have to cost much to make. Take a look at RS. Its was done as school project by 2 guys. Now it has like 15k paying members online at all times. That got to be at least 30k paying them to play if everyone would play 12 hours per day. So its probebly even more. And about million free players wich they can spam with advertising banners.

rs is completely outdated, and would'nt make a buck if it came on the market today (at least not from paying members). selling the rights to a fallout mmorpg would be his only option. maybe he's got some connections in france or something.

I think the funniest thing about going back into flashback land, still, is the fact that their argument was "YOU DON'T KNOW IT'S GONNA BE A COMPLETE FAILURE" when it came to FOBOS and we predicted it correctly. Ofcourse we all knew this from the start, but I still get a hardy chuckle out of it.

didn't you know that they were secretly developed by interplay and that they are now claiming the honour for them so that they can rebuild their screwed company?

Man, that thread was great. I wish Dac'd drop the general apathy and recruit a whole army of 388's.
