Although this looks interesting, I've heard mixed reviews. Besides, I really don't have time to play more than one MMORPG.

I think I would drop everything though if FOOL became reality.

Apparently the debut of this was severely flubbed. They didn't anticipate the network demands, which is pretty much standard for all these kinds of games (except Dark Age of Camelot which supposedly had a rare flawless debut).

Since then I've heard that the lag is not much of a problem.

I ended up not trying it out at all, because they required you to actually cancel your subscription at the end of the seven days, before being billed.

I'm too lazy to keep track of that. The E&B preview had no such requirement.

I agree with you, in fact I think one MMORPG is too much. E&B though seems like something I can drop quickly. You know, an hour here and an hour there, instead of having to commit to big dungeon crawls like EQ, AC and others.

What is FOOL?

Box for E&B says PIII 500 or Athlon equivalent, 128MB RAM, 32MB video.

FOOL is the legendary Fallout OnLine.

Good to hear about those system requirements, thanks for the info.

I've pretty much run the gamut with DAOC so I'm looking for something new until Galaxies. These Canadian winters can leave you with time on your hands.
