New MMO game: Fallen Earth

[MrFun]

Came across this, this morning by pure chance, when I was googling for something else. Never heard of this game, Fallen Earth. It looks like it could be fun, but of course, given that it's free to play, you probably will pay real money to enjoy some of the other features in-game.

It might be cool, it might stink. But considering that it's free, I see no reason not to try it. I'm downloading now.

You got a server and faction picked out? These games are a million times better with friends.

And thanks to the super stalkery ways of Steam, I know that Asher has played about twenty minutes of it. Hopefully he'll put the single malt down long enough to tell us how it is.

No, I haven't joined yet. I'm too busy with World of Warcraft lately. I'm thinking about it, though.

New? This game is from 2009.

Albie's right, it is old and it sucks. Almost every single MMO on the market now - including this one - is a clone of Everquest, since this kind of gameplay scales easily with the number of players. There's absolutely no reason to play more than one of them.

Johnthenerd. I know y'all might think my defining characteristic is being a pothead, but my pothead friends all think that I'm a nerd.

I went ahead and added you.

I never really got into WoW, Lord of the Rings Online just blew it away in my opinion. Partly because I'm a Tolkien geek.

It's new to ME!

I played it in the beta in 2009, then for a month or so in 2010. They added steam integration last year, and I "played" 20 minutes since then when they went F2P.

It had a ton of potential, but it was pretty dull when I played.

Asher, did you have to pay with real money for any in-game features or bonuses?
