I ASSURE YOU, I'M NOT WORKING FOR A POPULAR COMPANY OR SOME STUPID CRAP LIKE THAT.I DO NOT HAVE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS, THATS STUPID.
Since the last thread, I read all the things that said how my thread was considered a troll, and now i'm attempting at improving it.
*NOTE*- This is all from the view of someone who didn't play for long (until level 3)
1.) Download: The download is HUGE for mmo's and, from what i've read from other people and from my experiences. Many people have problems with the download speeds, and the download usually takes longer than most other games. Good games SHOULD be large.
My personal issue with this: I normally download MMO installers/MMO's at 1-2 MBS, for this one, I was DLing at 45 KBS. The size of the game is 4.8 G, leaving me with a download time as roughly 31 hours, and then having to patch and install.
2.) Cost: The client its self cost $50, and then there is a monthly fee.
My personal issue with this (Opinion): The monthly fee is completely fine, my issue is having to pay a fee for the download it's self. Most games make you pay for the software with a montly fee on top
Wow, anything by SOE, Final Fantasy, Saga of Ryzom, EVE, WAR, AoC, AC, do I need to keep going?
3.) Community: Active GM's and a bunch of people in the channels.
My personal issue with this: While there are many people in this community, and sometimes they are helpful, my personal experience with this is completely unhelpful and in fact, was a huge factor in why I stopped playing so early.
Learn to play a game on your own
4.) Originality: The only original things that i saw were the different armors and weapons, and the whole concept that you are a clone. The mount's are somewhat original too.
My Personal Issue (Opinion): The entire time I went through this game, I felt like there was nothing that jumped out at me as original.
Skill System: Leveling and getting skill points for increasing some skills feels like a dumbed down anarchy online skill system with a reference to fall out 3 once again (AP is used for your actions in fall out 3, in fallen earth it's used for increasing skills once you level.) Fallout didn't invent Action Points even in Fallout 1
Crafting: nothing really amazing, as far as i'm concerned, Eve still holds the title for crafting.
Combat: Feels like virtually any FPS This is newer for an mmo
Environment: Everything about the environment looks and feels like a little less polished fall out 3 to me.
Fall out 3: 
Fallen Earth:
Fallout 3 is a good game. I'm glad they used ideas from that universe
5.) Crafting (again): A lot of things to craft
My personal issue with this: Regardless of if you want to craft or not, it feels like your forced to. It is technically possible to not craft anything, but if you do that your going to have to know how to make a lot of chips because it will get rather expensive.
I thought you liked crafting?
It seems like this is one of those games that is a hit or miss for most people.
That's the way most forms of entertainment are
All in all, I can see that this post is ladden with frustration, but you should at least get past level 3 before declaring something terrible
