PFO can be enjoyable, it can... but the more I play it the less I can recommend investing your own money in the River Kingdoms for now.

5 Reasons Why We Need a Fallout MMO

I'm just as excited about Fallout 4 as the next guy, and think our very own Bill Murphy wrote a great list of things that would be awesome to see in the game, but I'd be remiss if I didn't say I was hoping it'd be announced as an MMO.
