Are we going to get an article on Fallen Earth closing down next month?

See the question. Fallen Earth will be shutting down their server(s) on the 2nd of October. There is talk of a relaunch/remaster later on but nothing tangible. Would be nice to do a story on it, perhaps reach out to one of the current developers etc. Massively already did a piece on it:  https://massivelyop.com/2019/09/04/fallen-earth-is-going-offline-indefinitely-but-hope-remains-for-a-reboot/

/Cheers,

It is just huge resource waste....'

    Such a great game at its core. I wish it had been more polished and complete.

    Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. It had so much potential but it just never clicked with me. I'm honestly surprised it survived this long.

    "Reach out to one of the developers"

    What madness is this you suggest? Republishing press releases is what most game web sites are about these days,not so much on investigative reporting.

    In all fairness we get pretty much what we pay them, no free lunch after all.

    Didn't even know it was closing down.. RIP. I'd say a shame but I haven't played this in so long and don't have any real plans to do so in future so... eh.

    Awesome!

    I was there during the original launch 10 years ago and did like it. Played it for a couple of months and was impressed with the crafting, somehow it never took off so development kind of halted. There are talks of a new version being considered/worked on, who knows?

    Fallen Earth... fallen and never getting up again.
    Sadly it is getting back up again, at least that's the talk.  A new version will see the sun.  Why I don't know, people are masochists.

    Fallen Earth all the potential none of the realization.

    It was basically a gem built on the engine they were trying to promote. It was really always about that engine. But it never turned out to be anything special.

    For awhile it was a pretty special game though the hard core fans of it did some pretty cool stuff. The radio stations people started that would be in game themed were fairly cutting edge back then.

    The crafting system was second to none for awhile might still be one of the best there. but like most the raw materials always seemed to be worth more than the finished items they made.

    If they do rework it they have to definitely expand on the reputation system 6 sides is good but its too cookie cutter in how rep is gained and lost.
