On the morning of October 12th the servers of the post-apocalyptic MMO Fallen Earth will go down for maintenance, nothing out of the usual. 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.
Today is Halloween, for those who prefer to spend their Halloween curled up with some scary entertainment, this list was made just for you. October might be the end to the warm weather but it’s the beginning of a wonderful season. The leaves are transforming from greens to bright orange and reds, reminding us that change can be absolutely beautiful. The entire month smells like warm spices and pumpkin pie, and most importantly, it’s the month of Halloween. Dentists might be cringing at the thought of cavities caused by sugar rich sweets, but the rest of us want to get our thrills in a different way.
We searched grave yards, abandoned houses and post apocalyptic wastelands to bring you the scariest MMOs we could dig up (pun intended).
This episode of The Sandbox features discussion on the upcoming alpha test for Albion Online, as well as news updates for games such as Fallen Earth, Perpetuum Online, and ArchAge.
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.
Wooooooooooooooooooow...
We all got an e-mail about this weeks ago. How slow are 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!
