Water Chip? Been There, Done That
If they make a Fallout multiplayer, I think it would have to be a seperate game (Ultima Online) but call it "Fallout World" that way it fits in with the theme. Also, the major problem with an online world is simple. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FINISH IT!!! I mean, think about it, In Diablo what do you do? When you finish it, you just keep going back in and there are more monsters to kill etc... Fallout would have to be the same. You wouldn't be able to finish a quest simply because if you did, what are the *thousand* other players going to do? So, you would have to have a thing like the rad scorpion caves in Fallout 1. (Bear with me here, I haven't played Fallout 2 yet, I only got "Fallout 1" 2 weeks ago, finished it after 5 days and have been suffering withdrawal ever since 
and just playing it again and again as a female, different skills etc... )
But you all remember, you have to go and kill the rad scorpions? Well, In "Fallout World" you would have to be able to keep going back in and killing the rad scorpions. Waiting a few days, then going back in again. Also, how is travel going to work? I mean, walking around in Fallout takes DAYS AND DAYS!!! How would that work online? You would have to remove the time it takes to travel between towns. Which is my point. It would have to be a seperate, different game. Either that or you just do a Co-OP multiplayer. E.G. eight people are sent out from the Vault to do whatever, and they move around as a group to finish the game. Each player of course being a specialist in their various fields.
Of course, you could work around the time taken to travel by incorporating Aeroplanes. E.G. You have a cra in Fallout 2 right? Well, what about being able to go to an airport, buy a ticket and take a seat on a plane? We are talking a few years after WWIII (About 3000 A.D. ???)here right? so I mean, surely we'd have some kind of energy source other then petrol? Also, buses, hop on a bus, buy a ticket and you are zipped away to the next town. But still, It'd fuck up the time thing. So yes, as one of you said, "Fallout World" would degenerate from a complex world of quests to finish and things to do, into a world where everyone just roams around shooting things. Wiping out rad scorpions, raiders, mutants, etc...
Needless to say, maybe one day, in about 50 years time, technology would have advanced to a stage where you can have a complex and indepth game such as Fallout put into an online environment and still have quests that everyone can complete, of course, this would require a team of programmers to keep adding in new quests for other people to do.
As for people killers.... Well, maybe you make it impossible for a person to kill another person, unrealistic I know, but, it would save all the newbies from being wiped out by the people who play it all day every day. Or perhaps, when you kill a person, that person gets re-incarnated somewhere else???? And the ppl killer is then notified to everyone, a bounty is put on his/her/its head and a group of very tough computer NPC's are sent out to hunt the person down.
Hey! I think there are no speeling errors in this!!!
