[Company -> Update]

<a href="http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boar ... =1207">See for yourself</a>.<blockquote>Here's an email that I received from Luke Haase regarding Q3 earnings and the results of the recent litigation:
 
 Luke: No specific date has been set for release of the company's third quarter
 earnings, although we are hard at work on that effort right now. I do not
 expect a long delay -- if any -- beyond the standard deadline.
 
 As for the recently announced judgment, I will have to defer to the text you
 saw.
 
 Lastly yes, funding for MMORPG is the future of the company, although there
 remain short term issues that, if/when they get resolved, will likely
 improve the chances of the company getting funded for such endeavors.</blockquote>What's to say that hasn't already been said?

I was thinking that as I read this....And wondering why it was posted here.

Short term issues? Euphemism

I can understand the delay here... their employee must be swamped!

I still maintain that their only employee is Jeff the Coke Machine Guy, who doesn't even WORK for them but stocks their machine because the local distributer never got around to canceling their contract. Even Gladys the Tea Lady went on to work at Maxis and has the honor of being the main reason why there's a teaset in The Sims.

I believe Jeff is the main reason why Fallout Online has been delayed, because he is not a computer geek, but prefers the company of women and alcohol, in that order.

We should make a donation pool, keep Jeff the Coke Machine Guy Boozed and Whored.

Would you mind pasting the shit? A few of us are banned.

Its a few pages long, so I can't really summarize it besides how he's still arguing that he's the only one who knows what an MMORPG really is. Except with a former Interplay employee who actually knows what he's talking about.

And talking shit about his "Fallout MMORPG" mod/hack of Ultima Online. Too bad for him he tried to claim that UO did not break away from the Ultima series or ultimately destroy the series as a whole. Especially since Rosh used to work for the company that produced Ultima.

He derailed the hell of that news topic though.

It is funny stuff. One of the highlights in my day, today, that is for sure.

While I am sure the Rosh could provide more details. At this time, it is my view that it was the designs and concepts of Raph Koster who really did in Ultima Online.
