Fallen Earth: Exclusive Free Game Giveaway!

in News & Features Discussion

With St. Patrick’s Day upon us, the Fallen Earth development team has decided to host a month-long “Shamrock Shindig,” partnering with MMORPG.com to offer free copies of the game, in-game events, prizes and a 50 percent off discount on the product from the Fallen Earth online store.

Partnering with MMORPG to export folks to the Wasteland free of charge, today Fallen Earth will offer the first 2,000 participants to visit MMORPG a free, valid product key for the game (a $39.99 USD value)!

But that’s not all. The luck of the survivors continues! From March 10–17, players who happen to run into a mysterious leprechaun roaming the wastes will enjoy some lucky Shamrocks, said to provide a handy buff!

And finally, to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Fallen Earth staff is hosting a pub crawl beginning at 11 a.m. EST March 17 and running until 1 a.m. EST March 18. Clan leaders, Fallen Earth developers and folks from MMORPG will be handing out some free (green) beer to party-goers in game! MMORPG staff members will also be coordinating in-game meet-ups leading up to the pub crawl (information coming soon on MMORPG.com).

Throughout the month, players will have the option to participate in forum contests to score Fallen Earth swag and customers can also take advantage of a special discount—50% off the game at the Fallen Earth online store.

The entire Fallen Earth community is invited to take part in the festivities. Whether a current player, trial user or one of the lucky 2,000 to score a copy of the game, players are encouraged to join in the Shamrock Shindig!

Please see the participation terms and a schedule of events listed in the Shamrock Shindig FAQ. 

MMORPG will be giving away one Fallen Earth product key per person to the first 2,000 people who register for a key. The product key giveaway is open to anyone, but you may only activate and use one of the free product keys from MMORPG if you:

  • Have not logged in to Fallen Earth within the past 60 days using a subscription and/or trial account.
  • Do not have access to the game based on a paid subscription.

To activate one of the free product keys, you will need to follow the instructions provided with your key to create your Fallen Earth account. Upon activation, you will be asked to select a subscription plan and associated payment method, but will not be charged until your free 30 days are up, at which point you may decide to cancel your plan or continue playing. The key must be activated by 11:59 p.m. EST, GMT-4, on March 31, 2010. If you haven’t activated your account, you will not be able to take advantage of the free 30 days of gameplay.

    Nabbed one. I will give this game another go now. Last time I looked at it was in the open beta.

  • DragoshanDragoshan Member UncommonPosts: 36

    Got one too, always wanted to try this game. Will I have to buy the game box after the 30 days expire or just the 15 bucks for monthly subscription?

    I just activated - they're gifting you the game client (normally $39.95, on sale for $19.99), and giving you the 30 days of play that you'd get if you bought it.
    Regular monthly billing will start on April 2, 2010.

    Haven't played since beta but I did enjoy the game quite a bit.  I guess now is the perfect time to head back to the wastes.

    Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.

     Good giveaway, the best IMO for a MMO player - the entry cost of a P2P MMO.

  • KostKost Member CommonPosts: 1,975

    Great offer, I snatched up a key for a friend.

    Much appreciated.

  • AndraxxAndraxx Member UncommonPosts: 256

    Very generous. I did the trial a ways back. Definitely interested in starting it up for real. Thanks MMORPG.com!

    Probably the craziest deal ever. Crazy as in, you'd have to be crazy to pass this deal up. For some reason, when I try to subscribe I get a fund error message. Most likely a bank error that I'll fix up tomorrow when the banks open up. I'm definitely signed up. I have played the trial before, so I had to make a new account, but that's ok. I'm eager to get into the game and give it a shot for real. I really loved the game, and the trial wasn't nearly enough.

    Now they give us a free game and 30-days to go with it. Who does that? Nobody I've ever heard of :D

    So now we might have the Free To Try/Pay To Play model...it might be a great idea because i have been wanting to try but didnt feel 10 days was an adequate time to enjoy a free trial....

    If I like it i will definitely pay to play...

    STO needs to due this just to get back some good PR....

    Just waiting for the install to end...

  • brenthbrenth Member UncommonPosts: 301

    yes very interesting promotion  can anyone tell me:... 

    if they  put in costume clothing and toggles yet?

    can you you jump vehicles over bumps now or are they still ground huggers?

    and did they fix throwables so they work like there supose to (grenades)

    did they fix water?

    have they fixed the  overly huge travel times yet  hopefully by puting in a train instead of some lame teleporter?

    and did they correct shotguns so they are usefull and actually work like a shotgun and not a big bore rifle?

     

    make a world, not a game, we dont want another game.

  • AdminAdmin Administrator RarePosts: 5,623

    Yeah - kudos to the Fallen Earth guys for this promo.  Basically $80,000 worth of free games for you guys.  Enjoy!

    I wasn't planning to play Fallen Earth, but I got a key so I might as well try it.

    Just a warning to everyone: They do require you to give them payment information. I don't think they will charge anything, but if you forget to cancel your account after 30 days, they'll keep charging you the subscription fee.

    They don't charge you anything except the ghost payment that is to confirm your credit card, which isn't really any payment at all.

    You will not be charged until the full 30 days are up, and only if you don't cancel your account before then.

    No not yet

    No vehicles do not jump, but they will go airborne off of hills and such.
     
    and did they fix throwables so they work like there supose to (grenades)
    I believe this has been addressed
     
    did they fix water?
    Still cannot go into water, but it's irradiated so why would you want to?    Not to mention there isn't really much water to go into.


     
    have they fixed the  overly huge travel times yet  hopefully by puting in a train instead of some lame teleporter?
    There is no fast travel, or mass transit.  All travel times are via mount or  by foot.
     
    and did they correct shotguns so they are usefull and actually work like a shotgun and not a big bore rifle?
    I use shotguns on my rifleman and they work great.  Not sure what issue you may have had with them but they are very useful for close up encounters as a rifle character.

    See my response above your post
     
    also  i was in beta  which had zone 1-2-3  any changes there?
    Still sectors 1-3 with plans to add Sector 4 fairly soon.  There is already a map, without any waypoints, accessible in game. 
     
    zone 3 was prety stark
    Sector 3 just had a nice addition recently which added 50-60 quests and the level cap was raised to 46.

    you would know what i mean if vehicles  respond to bumps and ramps normally
    *********** 
    did they fix water?
    Still cannot go into water, but it's irradiated so why would you want to?    Not to mention there isn't really much water to go into. 
    you could get traped between the water and the bank


     **************
    and did they correct shotguns so they are usefull and actually work like a shotgun and not a big bore rifle?
    I use shotguns on my rifleman and they work great.  Not sure what issue you may have had with them but they are very useful for close up encounters as a rifle character.
     if you look at the details the shotgun uses the exact same physics as a large bore rifle,,  translation it is a scopless short range heavy rifle(a slow one) with a smaller magazine,, your better off with a heavy scoped rifle  and there is no multi target  so when a shotgun should be weapon of choice for zombies mutants and soft armor targets   they actually end up being the worst choice.
     
    I really appreciate your response  do you know of any changes  after beta?  in beta zone 3 was the final zone

    This sounds nice, but have they fixed the lag in cities, the broken patcher, the poor tech support and the various assortment of bugs in the game?

    fixed the lag in cities,
    recent graphical optimizations have improved this in many areas but you will still get a slight pause in Emery and Oilville when first arriving due to texture loading when they are heavily populated.
     
     
    the broken patcher,
    There still seems to be the rare occasional issue with the patcher, but a quick scan of the tech support forums will usually yield a fix for you with a few minutes of searching.
     
     
    the poor tech support
    I have always found tech support to be very helpful as have most others I have spoken with.  I am sorry you weren't one of the players that received good service but if you give them another chance, I think you will see it was the exception rather than the rule.
     
     
    and the various assortment of bugs in the game?
    There have been numerous patches over the last several weeks addressing many of the minor, glitchy bugs players have reported.  I'm not saying is bug free, but I feel pretty confident stating there are no major game breaking bugs, and most of the minor ones have been addressed.
