From what I've been able to glean about this game its coming along really well. The comment about voice modulation really
caught my eye though. I know they can do it. I mean I have software that can make me sound like a woman if I want. In a game though.. Wow very nice touch. Albeit I personally like to roleplay myself in a game so vivox really will open up some grear RP. Looking foward to seeing more on the game |

Well i like the Road Warrior theme (or The Postman?), and i like that it's Skill based, and the character gx remind me of Anarchy Online; overall though the gameplay mechanics described in the review seem pretty generic for all mmogs today. Hope they can somehow infuse the world with the same feel as the first 2 RW films - it wasn't just about crazed characters running around doing random "stuff". imo that's the flaw with all mmogs these days, player actions have no significance on the game world As A World. |

"encouraging players to sign up for Beta now."
Wha? AFAIK they're not, there's been no announcement regarding sign ups. Clarification? And yeh, FE rocks. Cover it more damn you. |

As a player you gain AP points through crafting. It is possible in the game to reach maximum level simply through crafting. Here is the great part about Fallen Earth, you can set up your crafting queue and then craft offline! emmmmmmm I WAS intrested in this mmo but ....emmmmmm |

Offline progression doesn't bother me but I'm still concerned about that AP concept. In the only other skills-based games I have played you need to use a skill very frequently to improve it. This AP concept sounds like you might be able to earn AP by kife fighting and then use those AP to improve your driving skill. Is that the intent? If so most people will find the easiest, fastest source of AP's and use that skill exclusively to improve everything else. I really hope that isn't the way it works.

Sorry, all I can think about right now is the perfectly molded rear-end of that one female in the third screenshot they have...
You might say I am excited about this game. |

Icarus studios continues to add the polish and are encouraging players to sign up for Beta now.
Are you sure this is right? The FE website has no beta sign-up.
They turned their old beta sign-up into the newsletter sign-up a long, long time ago and there's not a single mention on the FE site of beta.

newsletter signup is beta signup.

1) No elves, not even space elves. On those two points alone, my interest is piqued. |

I have not done a great deal of research into this game, but it sounds to me like the lvling system will be very similar to stawars galaxies back when it was popular. I say this because in SWG you could achieve maximum lvl by simply crafting or you could have your character as focused in one area as you would like or have skills branching out over seceral different areas of the game. To me the key for this games success is going to be how the enhancements (or whatever they were called) tie into the skill system and how much they will be able to make your character unique. Very excited to see how this game progresses and am very happy to see a game that isn't so heavy on the fantasy. |

I've been following this game for awhile now and I have to say it sounds better everytime I hear something new about it. I really think these guys are looking to cater to all the people out there that don't want to play the same old MMO again. The crafting system sounds incredibly deep and complex, something alot of people will enjoy. Hopefully the economy is well thought out and the loot system compliments the crafting instead of making it worthless. Not sure what to think about the PvP yet but with all the diffferent factions and their different views on how to save humanity I see alot of potential for PvP having a place in the story and driving the game forward instead of being thrown in because people might want to PvP once in awhile. If everything goes smoothly and the game is launched without any major bugs I think there will be alot of people out there that will happily hand over money every month to play it. |
