When the servers go live however, a huge remodelling will take place. GamersFirst announced that Fallen Earth will be changing to a Free-to-Play subscription model.

Might be worth giving another look. I played it for around a month right after launch and quite enjoyed the setting and the sandbox nature.
Though as with all but a few MMOs I've tried, I wasn't quite hooked enough to keep continue playing.

Yeah the free trial wasn't enough, it was a fun game but not enough to make me pay the same as other major titles. The scaling subscriptions seems much more suitable, if you ever decided to take the game more seriously.

I am sure there is plenty more there to experience, and I am looking forward to taking a closer look once it goes F2P :)

Wooooooooooooooooooow...

We all got an e-mail about this weeks ago. How slow are you people?

The announcement was made on the 2nd of this month? :P

I got an e-mail weeks ago. Everyone who was a member got one. What's wrong with you people?

i believe the free to play model will die out in a year or so. it worked at first because few MMO's were free so it was awesome to play DnD online, or lord of the rings online as a free WoW alternative. now that there is a lot of free ones, the player base will again split and each mmo will see low numbers

i just don't understand how you could say what you said but F2P helps eliminate piracy. Devs/Pub get guaranteed money every time you punch your Credit Card numbers in.

Subscription base model only works for the few truly Titan MMO's out there...like Eve Online, Warcraft, Rift and a few others in which this is like the only game you really play cause these subscription based games take away your entire life.

With so many quality MMMO's coming out you can't expect Publishers to think Gamers are gonna spend $10 to $15 a month for each of their MMO's?

I'm getting Tera, Firefall, Planetside2, The Secret World, Black Prophecy, Guild Wars 2 in the next 6 months. Do you think I'm gonna shell out $90 a month in subscription fees............hell NO!

F2P allows more MMO's to attract more gamers!
