There never have been free trials at a launch. Check in 6 months to a year.

went ahead and bought the game today and it comes with a Buddy key....( share this code with a friend for a 15-day trial )

ive been watching this game closely  , peoples reviews etc make it look very promising .

I would ike to have a go at the trial if someone is willing to share a  buddy key : )

Man, that troll is quite passionate about trying to sway people into avoiding this game. His approach was typical:

• Creates a new account so that no one can map him to all his other idiotic posts which proves he's not who he says.
• Labels himself as someone who would know more than the average mmo gamer.
• Feels intimidated by a person trying to show truth and reality about a game to help them make a decision.
• Pulls subscriber count out of his ass like your typical Internet Statistician.

These things add up to someone who is well known in this forum who dissed the game before and after it was released, and is now pissed and jealous that people actually like the game.

Can't wait to see the vids.  I've been on the fence about buying this game for awhile.

Fallen Earth is fun for me and in a lot of ways is a breathe of fresh air in the MMO design/marketing paradigm we are currently in. FE reminds me a lot of MMO's like UO, AO and pre-CU SWG where you had to think a little...no offence by not mentioning games like EQ as I didnt have a lot of in depth playtime there to offer a useful comparison. I can see how newer MMOers could find FE old/bland etc etc because later MMO's seem to be all about "bells n whistles".... its just what you have to compare and offer an opinion on.

As a note on the "uber" guild leader (for want of a better word) posting his comments about FE.....if it was a valid attempt to offer an opinion or "help" it came across more as a threatened rival MMO....really was one of the oddest posts I have ever seen in all my years reading  on MMO forum's.

The Chronicles of Spellborn launched with a level restricted free trial that had no time limit

I was pretty sure that I wanted to play this game.  Those videos just confirmed that I really do want to play this game.  Much respect to the OP.  I only watched the first 8 and had to stop not because the videos were bad but because I wanted to play and not watch you play.  Oh well maybe next month.

I know right? I can't play atm because of finances, but I want to so badly every time I watch a video or read a review or something about it. What's worse is that I was in the beta, and wanted to play it at launch but I couldn't... now I'm cursing fate. 8)

What your doing is not new, its been done numerous times and unless its a fun hobby of yours its a useless effort. I am the leader of one of the largest guilds in the MMO scene, 2800 players that play over several MMO's. A group of "test monkeys", 138, tried Fallen Earth and the 15 page questionaire completed by the members had a unanimous result. Fallen Earth is lackluster, poor mechanics and sub-par grahpics, poor gameplay, poorly designed zones etc... It is a waste of time and money. Fortunately, my guild re-emburses the testers for the full monetary amount of a fail game but unfortunately for others, like you, your stuck with the tab. I'm not here to say "no" don't play that game, I'm here to tell you to research a little more into the game before wasting your money.

You are a guild leader of a huge awesome uber guild yet you make an account to post this and hide behind it while saying nothing other than bragging about such fictional guild. You reimburse your players when it was their choice to buy something? Gots to call bullshit here and say put up or shut up. People should research for sure and what maji is providing is a video diary for people to look at and decide if they like what they see.  Hide less maybe next time behind a newly created account. But then obvious troll is obvious and hopefully no one takes you seriously.  And while you google trying to find a guild to link to us please be at least somewhat entertaining doing it.

 

I and my co-leaders are always on the look-out for new recruits, such is the norm for guilds. In our case we sinply do not restrict ourselves to the in-game players...the reason why we are so big and successful. I have many different accounts on several forums.....three on this one alone. We weed out the immature, of which there is many on this site) and email those that seem on the surface to be potential applicants. Its comes down to growth, that simple. My guild makes more money in a month than most people make in 6 months, we have the money to make things happen for our members, new components, computers, temp subs etc..., help them. You will never recieve an email from this account or my others, including my co-leaders but there are others who have and are happier than they have ever been. Its a shame you and other throw away oppurtunities in place of immature antics. I pity you, truly.

Going to quiet this account for a couple weeks and use my others. There are several mature players on this site that deserve the chance to be apart of something great, i have work to do, take care and good luck.

haha Are you for real? And you even have the gut to call other people immature, with your poorly-phrased English and awkward grammar? I have an advice for you: quit pretending being the new Neo, and get a life, a real one.

For the OP: thank you so much for the videos. I'm interested in FE, but don't want to invest hard-earned money and time unless the game deserves. So the videos will get me an idea if the game could appeal to me.

Hey Thanks OP,

Watched some of the video's and went out and bought it, been playing for almost 3 days..and I am hooked..I am taking it slow though and mainly harvesting and salvaging for items.  I am lvl 4 and 6 right now and loving it so far. 

The switching between mouse mode and attacking (That the correct term?) took me a bit to get used to but changed some of the key mapping around and now I just tap 3 different keys with my pinky to jump to attacking mode, 1st person,  and sniping which made things flow much better.

Love the ability to queue things up in crafting and shortly found myself wielding two meat tenderizers with new cloths (armor) and a hat.

Last but not least, I purchased the digital download from FE because it came with an ATV (I know most people like the horse better so do I) because you can craft a ride-able horse in the newbie town quite easily while learning to craft the ATV is much more difficult.

The only problem I have had with the experience so far has been the patching of the initial install client. It kept stopping / freezing on me and I had to babysit it to get it to work. It was patching 4.4 gig which on a 2mb line in middle of Mexico would take a long time.

I scoured the forums at FE and found a direct-download that required a minimal patch and was functional. If you can purchase this game from D2D or Steam...or somewhere you can get a fast download of the full client will save you from that head-ache.

Thanks and hope to see you in game.

Since there is no free trial, and the game ain't perfect for everyone obviously, I made a "Let's play Fallen Earth" series. Which basically means that I'm creating a character from scratch, recording that, and putting up the normal gameplay on YouTube. It's not as interesting or flashy as showing just the best scenes from PvP or a dungeon or whatever, but I think it's a good way to get an impression on the game.

I'm normally not into creating movies nor is english my first language, but I guess for one or the other person it might be helpful nonetheless. Currently it got 9 or 10 parts equalling around 1 1/2 hours of gameplay. I already got a bunch of other parts but my knowledge in the matters of video compression is limited, so it takes a while to upload them.

In case you are interested, here is the link to the playlist with the videos:

That site and ones like it usually use stolen credit card info to purchase copies of the game and then resell the keys. Buy a key from a site like that, and you are supporting thieves. Not to mention that keys purchased from a site like that can be banned at any time.

They're not shut down because they are run out of Asia where this sort of activity is rampant and unregulated. Do a Whois on directgamekeys.com and take a look at the name and location of the registered site owner. Yeah. Do a little research. These sites use stolen credit card info or key generators to get the keys. Where else do you think they are getting game keys to sell at 1/2 retail? Why are they not selling the software? Like I said, buy a key from one of these sites, and you are supporting thievery.
