Original Fallout designer Chris Taylor – not to be confused for Total Annihilation and Dungeon Siege designer Chris Taylor – has re-upped with his former employer Interplay to work on unannounced MMO "Project V13," currently in development with several other members of the Fallout team.
While Interplay isn't coming out and saying it, all signs point to this being the Fallout MMO. Besides the Fallout-infused dev team, the company itself reaffirmed plans for the game last April. Even the logo bears resemblance of the Fallout aesthetic, and V13 could stand for either "V13" or if you interpret 13 as a 1337 version of "B", you have Project VB, the initials of which make the codename for Interplay's Fallout 3 (i.e. Project Van Buren) from before Bethesda took the reins. If Interplay's looking to ride next month's Fallout 3 hype train, we'll know more soon enough.

I really hope Fallout 3 can be as great a game as the first two were, absolute RPG classics. I don't think it will quite have the charm of the previous two games, but should still be good non the less.
Still, I would have liked to see Van Buren come to fruition, the original Fallout 3, still have the game set in California. :(

Couldn't it also stand for Vau...oh, got beaten to the punch thrice over already. Nevermind.
If they are making a Fallout MMO, here's hoping they expand the genre beyond grind quests.

Or maybe Vault 13, you know, just because it's an original suggestion

I friggin' LOVE all things fallout, but MMO's suck (IMO)
I'm pretty sure I'll at least try it; it's Fallout!

I imagine its not even close to the mark, but V13 was one of the graffiti signs that the Daggers tagged in the movie Thrashin'.

I still don't know how I'd feel about a Fallout MMO. I'd love it, or I'd hate it. Still good to see some original Fallout team members making the game. I guess we can see what Interplay has left in them.
