Fallen Earth was one of rare MMOs i had luck entering into early beta.
I think invitation came in second wave, must be even year before launch.

I did my best to test and report bugs. But the game never griped me as much i expected it will. I rolled several characters but never gotten very high into the game. There was things i expected to be different, some that i felt should be implemented, etc.

Still I had feeling there was a game that true MMO fan wishes for. Not all these theme park limited console like mini games.

Fallen Earth is true MMO , virtual world.

And In beta , Icarus developers and designers would really talk to players every day. Individually.

What other developers can claim to have such down to earth attitude ?

 

On the end  the game never clicked for me personally.

But that was beta. And betas are on empty side. To truly experience MMO you need people.

And i truly hope (and its happening) that FE will do good. Because it deserves to.

Its the MMO experience we dreamed about....so its bit rough around edges?

But I say better rough , indie , low budget - true MMO

than

Polished , huge investment , theme park , clone of game that is clone of another game, adjusted to appeal to 11 year olds.

 

Shortly

Kudos Icarus! Go Fallen Earth!

 Are you playing lobo or waiting to jump in after they iron out some of the stuff?

No. I am not playing. Unfortunately i have no time now.

So I only play single player RPGs (waiting for Dragon Age) and here and there playing DDO - no sub = casual.

 

Not really even waiting for some new MMO. Fallen Earth is probably the most serious (and only) attempt on open ended virtual world (that is not full loot/pk/gank oriented) we will get in years to follow.

So If , and when I come back to MMO - i will get a place at FE.

I just hope by then they will implement player settlements :)
