ZeniMax Media is looking for MMO people now, which obviously points to an MMO coming from them, probably from their company Bethesda. So, would that be Fallout? Maybe?
The folks at GamesIndustry say that they've already roped in Steve Escalante and former Blizzard talent Rich Barnham for this unannounced game, and now they're looking for more. And they say the rumors are pointing to the Fallout MMO action, too. What else could it be? Elder Scrolls?
Check out the job listings at the ZeniMax Online Studios webpage. The listings aren't giving any hints away, though.

It has to be Elder Scrolls.

My favorite game ever is Morrowind... if this is true, I will shit my pants.
Because of the fact that I would first buy a new computer to run it, then spend the rest of my life in front of it.
Agreed
Interplay still owns the rights to a Fallout MMO so it can't be that
Interplay kept the rights to the Fallout MMO and Bethesda got everything else, but Interplay keeping those rights was contingent on them getting the development up and running by a certain time...
So whether there has been some Back Channel communication between ZeniMax and Interplay regarding the state of Interplay's MMO...you never know, ZM could be just gathering a team together on the sly incase Interplay fails..
I don't want a Fallout MMO though, I'd like to keep my life and not become addicted to it...because I know I would -.-
Plus, I think we have had more than enough swords and sorcery MMOs to date.
I don't know exactly how a Fallout MMO would work, but at least it wouldn't feel like WoW in a new box (cough, conan, warhammer, and a dozen other lesser lights).
Next thing you'll be telling us that Electronic Arts is working on a new FIFA game, braking story.
