Nabbed one. I will give this game another go now. Last time I looked at it was in the open beta.

Got one too, always wanted to try this game. Will I have to buy the game box after the 30 days expire or just the 15 bucks for monthly subscription?

Haven't played since beta but I did enjoy the game quite a bit.  I guess now is the perfect time to head back to the wastes.

 Good giveaway, the best IMO for a MMO player - the entry cost of a P2P MMO.

Great offer, I snatched up a key for a friend.

Much appreciated.

Very generous. I did the trial a ways back. Definitely interested in starting it up for real. Thanks MMORPG.com!

Probably the craziest deal ever. Crazy as in, you'd have to be crazy to pass this deal up. For some reason, when I try to subscribe I get a fund error message. Most likely a bank error that I'll fix up tomorrow when the banks open up. I'm definitely signed up. I have played the trial before, so I had to make a new account, but that's ok. I'm eager to get into the game and give it a shot for real. I really loved the game, and the trial wasn't nearly enough.

Now they give us a free game and 30-days to go with it. Who does that? Nobody I've ever heard of :D

~Miles "Tails" Prower out! Catch me if you can!

So now we might have the Free To Try/Pay To Play model...it might be a great idea because i have been wanting to try but didnt feel 10 days was an adequate time to enjoy a free trial....

If I like it i will definitely pay to play...

STO needs to due this just to get back some good PR....

Just waiting for the install to end...

yes very interesting promotion  can anyone tell me:... 

if they  put in costume clothing and toggles yet?

can you you jump vehicles over bumps now or are they still ground huggers?

and did they fix throwables so they work like there supose to (grenades)

did they fix water?

have they fixed the  overly huge travel times yet  hopefully by puting in a train instead of some lame teleporter?

and did they correct shotguns so they are usefull and actually work like a shotgun and not a big bore rifle?

I wasn't planning to play Fallen Earth, but I got a key so I might as well try it.

Just a warning to everyone: They do require you to give them payment information. I don't think they will charge anything, but if you forget to cancel your account after 30 days, they'll keep charging you the subscription fee.

They don't charge you anything except the ghost payment that is to confirm your credit card, which isn't really any payment at all.

You will not be charged until the full 30 days are up, and only if you don't cancel your account before then.

No not yet

No vehicles do not jump, but they will go airborne off of hills and such.

 

and did they fix throwables so they work like there supose to (grenades)

I believe this has been addressed

 

did they fix water?

Still cannot go into water, but it's irradiated so why would you want to?    Not to mention there isn't really much water to go into.

 

have they fixed the  overly huge travel times yet  hopefully by puting in a train instead of some lame teleporter?

There is no fast travel, or mass transit.  All travel times are via mount or  by foot.

 

and did they correct shotguns so they are usefull and actually work like a shotgun and not a big bore rifle?

I use shotguns on my rifleman and they work great.  Not sure what issue you may have had with them but they are very useful for close up encounters as a rifle character.

 

anyone play fallen earth that can answer my questions?

also  i was in beta  which had zone 1-2-3  any changes there?

zone 3 was prety stark

ah nice, just reactivated my account.

See my response above your post

Still sectors 1-3 with plans to add Sector 4 fairly soon.  There is already a map, without any waypoints, accessible in game. 

 

zone 3 was prety stark

Sector 3 just had a nice addition recently which added 50-60 quests and the level cap was raised to 46.

 if you look at the details the shotgun uses the exact same physics as a large bore rifle,,  translation it is a scopless short range heavy rifle(a slow one) with a smaller magazine,, your better off with a heavy scoped rifle  and there is no multi target  so when a shotgun should be weapon of choice for zombies mutants and soft armor targets   they actually end up being the worst choice.

 

I really appreciate your response  do you know of any changes  after beta?  in beta zone 3 was the final zone

 

This sounds nice, but have they fixed the lag in cities, the broken patcher, the poor tech support and the various assortment of bugs in the game?

Thanks! Awesome deal...

fixed the lag in cities,

recent graphical optimizations have improved this in many areas but you will still get a slight pause in Emery and Oilville when first arriving due to texture loading when they are heavily populated.

 

 

the broken patcher,

There still seems to be the rare occasional issue with the patcher, but a quick scan of the tech support forums will usually yield a fix for you with a few minutes of searching.

 

 

the poor tech support

I have always found tech support to be very helpful as have most others I have spoken with.  I am sorry you weren't one of the players that received good service but if you give them another chance, I think you will see it was the exception rather than the rule.

 

 

and the various assortment of bugs in the game?

There have been numerous patches over the last several weeks addressing many of the minor, glitchy bugs players have reported.  I'm not saying is bug free, but I feel pretty confident stating there are no major game breaking bugs, and most of the minor ones have been addressed.

Anyone else getting:

Just got my key will be trying it next week over my spring break (and after I install my new HDD)  

Thank you! Been looking for something new to try :)

I'm rather new to Debit cards and how they work, my parents gave me one for Christmas(brave of them I know) and I've, for the most part, not done anything stupid.

Then my answer is yes they have addressed the vehicle physics.

I am not aware of this problem, and have not heard of anyone complain about it as of late so I would say it has most probably been addressed

Shotguns are still single target.  The ones I have used were no slower than a rifle, mostly quicker depending on which rifle you're comparing it to(assult-no, sniper-yes), and have reasonable magazines although I don't believe I've seen anything that holds more than 8-10 shots.  I can usually mow through any mob with 2 shots usually though as the shotguns usually pack a higher initial burst than rifles.

 

I really appreciate your response  do you know of any changes  after beta?  in beta zone 3 was the final zone

Sector 3 is still the last zone, but as I mentioned in another response, there was just a big update to Sector 3 which added 50-60 quests, some of it group quests, and raised the level cap to 46.

I've got 39 cents on my card, didn't plan on renewing, only playing the free month and cancelling my sub almost as soon as I finished subbing. Did it with DFO, played the first month, unsubbed before charge. I also had like 2 cents on my card at the time I did the payment info for DFO.

Just wanna know, is paypal gonna charge me ANYTHING?

First step, do you have money on it?  

Edit* I assume you need some cash in it (more than 39 cents) just so they know your CC is valid

39 cents, but the first month is free, they shouldn't be charging me anything.

I had like, maybe a dollar, on my card back when I put in payment info for DFO's free month, so why can't I for FE?

paypal will charge you nothing, but most games will not accept you card unless it has at least $15 in it...even though they will not charge you.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but I think there is a minimum amount that has to be in your account(like $1.00).

usually the price of the month so $15

I agree this is a great promotion.   But I'm not impressed with their website or unclear steps for downloading the game for this promotion.    

The weblink in the confirmation email sends you to their website which is so messed up in Google Chrome you have to squint to see the tiny PC download link.   Lack of clear instructions does not give confidence in a developer but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Well, at least I got the game for free, anyone know if I can enter my info in when I have my $15 even if it's after the 31st and still get a free 30 days?

ok that is exceedingly bad idea to run the razor edge with a debit because of  the fees and overdrafts that drop on you like the world trade center.

how do i sign up to get one?

the OP has the link at the bottom, below the box with the rules.

I signed up, and it says my payment will start March 04, 2010. This some kind of mix-up? Got a 1 day trial when it should have been 30, go me. 

when you sign up and register your card payment method, FE runs an 'authorization' charge of $1.00.

I've done this myself with a card that had about $2.00 on it.

This charge is not actually billed and just a verification that the card is valid.  The authorization hold on that dollar is released in a day or two.

If you have less than $1.00, then you need to get more than that.

This is the best MMORPG.COM  promo yet. Very good work everybody involved and thank you very much:)

I feel a bit had by FE. I just bought the game a few days ago, and the30-day from buying the "box" is only 3 days old.

Oh well... Ces't la vie...

It's frustrating when it happens. But it happens.

I can understand where you are coming from, but this is not a full-fledged promo... it is like a reward to those who are part of MMORPG..it is not available for some of the other gaming sites nor on their website.

It is a promo and a reward for having one of the best, supportive and evolving communities online.

If noone has ever noticed, people who are involved with MMORPG, whether directly or indirectly (like forum posters) really have an impact on the industry as a whole.

Just look at the latest debacles with STO and Allods.

We, as a community, voice are opinion and things get done.

We can quickly make or break a game.

We are responsible for the success of EVE.

We have driven up the sales figures for DDO.

And we have also told GPotato where they can stick Allods.

I think we tend to overlook our strengths here and Fallen Earth understands this.

What they are doing is nothing short of ground breaking.

Word of mouth will be huge, more people will tell their friends, more 10 day trials will go out and within a few months, they will have turned a nice profit and got a new loyal fan base to a game that people want to play.

I say Kudos to them.

Right time right place got one

Was just thinking about coming back for another blast and was torn between this or AOC

Just sometimes pays to read this site :)

I'm not complaining about this free box that's given. I know MMORPG drives sales and points potential players to a good game (trust me, FE is a good game).

I'm also complaining about the 50% off which is advertised on their main site now. That makes me kinda feel had, but as I said as well, Ces't la vie. Fallen Earth is worth the $40 I paid, and coming from Europe it's still a lot cheaper than games actually sold in Europe ;)

Wow this must be the coolest thing ever on MMORPG.com, and high praise to the Fallen Earth devs, gonna give your game a serious try now.

To a couple that have mentioned not being able to activate the game because you have less than $1 on your card.  It requires $1 at least because FE will bill $1 to your account and then credit it back to verify that you have an active account.  I have a $1 hit in my bank right now.

Will download the game while im at work then put in the key when i get home, cant wait to play this.

lol More mmorpgs should give there games away for free :p

I'm so glad I just happened to stop by the website last night before I went to bed, saw the promotion and was like.. wow! free game??

So I spent about 10 mins setting up an account and starting the DL, this morning everything went very smoothly, the patcher did bring up an error but I just left it as it was still downloading a small patch in the background. After it finished I restarted the patcher and everything went very smoothly.

Just finished the tutorial and I must admit I'm very impressed, has a very SWG feel to it.

Thanks MMORPG and Fallen Earth for the opportunity to try this out!

Don't forget the weekend deals......Cor! I frikin love steam.......And sometimes I also really hate them for the above posted reasons:)

For those that play... did they ever add any kind of player housing? If so, how does it work. IE is it like UO were you can setup a player village anywhere? or is it like LOTRO where there are specific areas.

True but you never know what is going to go on offer ;)

I'm so happy I was one of the few to get this free key! I absolutely loved Fallen Earth, but the realization that I would be out of the trial in a few days left me depressed and no longer willing to put forth the effort to play. Now I have a full 30 days to play and make something out of the character I'm playing, rather than wonder how to play the game..

~Miles "Tails" Prower out! Catch me if you can!

Man, they went quick!

Damn, missed out lol. Ah well, I've played before, and the game is a nice change to all the fantasy cookie cutters out there. The combat's a little flawed, but a lot of other aspects make up for this several fold.

I hope this boosts the Dev's sales, Fallen Earth seems like it could be the next EvE.

ah damn, too late.. I never win things like this ^^

Not yet, but it is something that is coming. It's not something that they want to rush though so it will probably be a while yet...

Sigh, why don't i ever win anything.

Props to devs though, very generous of them.

It's in the works, but no ETA yet.

They did however introduse the crafting skills that are going to be the base for it. Along with camps.

 I only got to play this for 3 days before OB ended lol, was rather sad I missed the chance at one of these keys, until I read that creditcard/payment info was needed to even register and use it. So now after reading here i'm glad I didn't get one, because it would of been wasted and unused :P

 So have fun all, and goodluck with not getting charged unexpectedly at the end of the month, since i'm sure there will be people that forget to "unsub" when this key runs out.
