It's not Bethsoft, it's Zenimax. Just sayin'.
Storm Rider:
Bethesda doesn't have the MMO rights to Fallout, or at least they're currently legally disputed. Interplay was trying to make a Fallout MMO themselves, but I think Bethesda filed suit to block it. I don't know enough about that specific situation to say much, except that if a Fallout MMO will happen at all, it's not happening anytime soon. Personally, I'm really averse to the MMO model, so I'd rather play Fallout by myself in 50-100 hour increments every two years. I think there are interesting ways they could interpret Fallout in an MMO context, but I think it would also be really easy to screw up.
Johnny C:
Bethesda's court injunction against the development of the Interplay MMO was lifted so they're still developing it. Publishing, maybe not.
Also Bethesda screwed the pooch for Harold insofar as his involvement in Van Buren went but on the other hand his arc in F3 was beyond cool and probably one of the best parts of the game, hands down.
Tom:
I hate MMO's as much as I hate sport/MoH games. I'd personally be really disappointed if Bethesda/Obsidian waste their time developing an Elder Scrolls/Fallout MMO.

Kind of a Pyrrhic victory, if you ask me. Harold was always special - he looked like a ghoul but he wasn't one, really. Most ghouls are just kind of freaks of radiation exposure, but Harold was a unique creation of FEV, same as the Master (they were both created in the same incident). He was effectively immortal and was going to show up as a side player in every Fallout game. His arc in Fallout 3 is logical given Bob the Head Tree, sure, but I don't think that choice was worth killing off probably the most compelling Fallout character that isn't a dog. Whether or not you kill him off (and I'm pretty sure the canonical choice will be killing him, seeing as how he asks you to do it) he's not showing up again.

The ending of Fallout 2 indicates that the fruit from Harold's head tree spawned a number of supertrees throughout the Wasteland, so we might see one. The fruit was also supposed to be an integral part of the cure for the sterility superbug in Van Buren. We might see a variation on that quest in New Vegas, but I kind of doubt it.
