For my latest column at MMORPG, I made a return visit to Fallout Online Fallen Earth. It’s been over three years since I last checked in and a lot had changed, but even more remained the same. More specifically, all of the good parts — the crafting, shooting, exploring, humor, and stories — stayed in …
This was too cool to pass up. One of my teammates over at Lagwar sent in a fan letter to the Fallen Earth team… on the back of a head. No, I’m being for real. He sent a full-RP letter, written on the back of a skull, and demanded swag. I’m not sure if he …
This is just a quick post to let you all know about a contest my buddy Ferrel is running. As you may know, he’s a co-host on the A View From the Top podcast and an all around guild-leading guru. Well, Icarus Studios took notice and gave him a crop of free Fallen Earth account …
Oi, I’d be a little concerned if I was a Fallen Earth fan. Coming down the gauntlet today (via ITG, via the Escapist), we hear that Icarus Studios laid off a big chunk of its workforce. Actually, the initial report claimed that they had “closed their doors” but that may not be exactly true. Shortly …
Over the last couple of days, I’ve been spending a lot of time in games other than World of Warcraft. WoW is a trap, you see. The number crunching, min/max, grab that loot game play has a way of wrapping its arms around you and not letting go. So, yesterday’s respite into Fallen Earth stirred …
When I logged into my email yesterday, I was surprised to find a press release from Icarus Studios waiting for me. Aside from feeling uncharacteristically like press, the details the release talked about surprised me. Here, I’ll let them tell you what’s going on: Fallen Earth, LLC today announced the inclusion of several wilderness graphics …
Update #1: Trying to re-up it didn’t work. I sent an email in to account support. I’ll let you know what happens. I don’t like recurring subscriptions. I just don’t, the mental weight of that extra monthly bill bothers me. So, I usually pay for a month and then cancel the subscription right there. I …
Massively opened up their free trial giveaway yesterday for players interested in trying Fallen Earth. These things tend to go quick, and I know some of our readers here are dying to try the game, so I reserved two (the maximum per IP address) for any readers of this site interested in receiving one. Before …
Hi Everyone, The weekend is upon us again and hopefully you’ve picked up your copy of Fallen Earth and are settling in for a productive trip into the waste land. As I’ve played, I’ve noticed a lot of questions pop up again and again on the help channel so I thought it’d be good to …
I got the chance to spend some more time in the wasteland last night and I’m glad I did. When I last left off, I had done a couple of quests and some exploring but was getting a little frustrated at the fact that I couldn’t scavenge anything. Since scavenging is one of the biggest …
