    I've already stated twice that Fallen Earth has a completely free 10 Day Trial that does not require payment details.

     

  • ratranger007ratranger007 Member Posts: 8

    and i am pointing out that whatever the original access offered for the game where "Free game time is offered" there should be no need for bank account details

  • AerowsAerows Member Posts: 16

    No offense intended, but please, let it go.  If you don't want to play the retail version, download the trial and then you won't have to do anything.  I DID like the idea of a free retail version, because I'm looking for a new MMO.  If I had gone to the store and bought FE, I'd have to put my details in.  If I wanted to download the trial, well, I wouldn't have had to do so - the fact that it is the full blown game, however, allows me to interact with the community and see what I think.

    Bottom line, don't like it?  Don't use it.  This is a good idea - I bought the full blown AoC when it was 4.99 because I wanted to try it after I did the trial and wanted to see what the full version was like.  I didn't like it, I canceled, but I got 30 days of the real thing for 4.99.  This is 30 days of the real thing, and we will see.

    Furthermore, there are PLENTY of F2P MMOs that do not require that you subscribe.  Feel free to play one of those, but quit complaining.  Some people think this is a great idea (ME) and would love it if all MMOs went with the free to download costs money to subscribe after a certain time period model.  It's perfect.  Cash shop games can end up costing WAY more than a monthly subscription (Runes of Magic comes to mind - good game, but practically requires you to use the cash shop if you want to really enjoy the game).

    We shouldn't have to give them our bank info just to play the game and get the 30-days free....then again that's how its worked on mythic as well. 

    Well I'm going to take the 10-day free trial if I find myself having fun ill simply subscribe and hope to get those 30-days free :P and cancel right after.

    I mean after-all at least we got the game itself ((free)) we didn't have to buy the $39.95 game itself :D

     feel free to report me if you wish JeroKane but i am sure you will see it is not I who is flaming or insulting other posters. infact JeroKane I insist you report me and while you are doing that ask them to read your comments while they are at it. [and please dont edit them because that shows up on the forum too]

     

    that i do not subscribe to your views doesn't automatically make mine wrong.

     

    My argument is a valid one as was my post and up till now i have heard no arguments that would even come near to changing my opinion

    "I don't agree" is certainly an indepth explanation of your opinion and an argument worth this discussion. Not to mention an actual response to the contents of my reply. Wait a minute.... it's not! And if some dude starts a discussion that makes no sense, and then ain't interested in actually replying, then that is nothing else but trolling. Bad troll, bad!

    Let's play Fallen Earth (blind, 300 episodes)

    Let's play Guild Wars 2 (blind, 45 episodes)

  • AerowsAerows Member Posts: 16

    Honestly, I hope this idea catches on.  Trials tend to be limited so that you can't interact with the community - and as we all know, the community is critical in an MMO, there has to be a good fit.  Who wants to blow $40 on a game you may end up playing for only an hour or two before you decide the community is not for you and the game is a disaster?

    the whole point of the post is quite simple really

     

    I advocate that if a company offers free game time online so that others may view their product whether it be as a trial offer or a CD Key then there should be NO need to collect bank details in the process.

  • rashherorashhero Member UncommonPosts: 510

    Jumped on this offer. Always been interested in this game and this is a fantastic offer $40 value.

    If you don't like the idea of giving your card information over for a verification, well you don't have to. Just let the deal and the key you collected die off. I for one wasn't charged so no bitching there.

    I think the confusion over your posts is that your issue is not with Fallen Earth or this offer specifically.  From this post, it seems the practice you have a problem with is collecting cc info at any point before a full subscription starts.  So you have to apply the same to all the other titles mentioned in this thread.

    It only intensifies the confusion when it seems you are singling out this offer of Fallen Earth and saying other companies do not have the same model.

    Maybe you should start reading back all the way from the beginning to this point. Then we talk again.

    As lets summarize shall we?

    1. ICARUS offers an amazing offer and gives away RETAILkeys for FREE!

    2. You come and you are dissapointed that you had to fill in your CC details. 

    3. No one accused you or blamed you for feeling that way. We just explained to you that this is a RETAIL key and so you are required to fill in CC details, like in any other subscription based MMORPG.

    We even directed you to the Fallen Earth main website where you can get a TRIAL for FREE and no need to fill in CC details.

    4. Then you ignored that and continued about how ICARUS has bad ethics and bad bussiness practices for requiring you to fill in CC details. And all kinds of other paranoid stuff.

    5. We AGAIN try to tell you the difference between RETAIL and TRIAL and how pretty much all other subscription based MMORPG's require you to do it.

    6. You again ignore it and even started claiming that other MMORPG companies do not require you to submit CC details.

    7. I challenged you to give us examples of subscription based MMORPG's that do not require you to fill in CC details. I also gave you pretty much all current AAA subscription based MMORPG titles who require CC details. To make it easier for you to find examples.

    8. You completely ignored it. And then started posting TRIAL offers from EVE Online and City of Heroes and Guild Wars instead.

    While we clearly explained to you the DIFFERENCE between TRIAL and RETAIL and that Fallen Earth has also a TRIAL on their mainwebsite.

    9. Instead of being mature and admit you were wrong. You ignore it again and continue your ranting. And now even turning into a completely different discussion.

    So who is ignorant, childish and immature to the point that you can classify it as trolling and flame baiting?

    Not us, who have tried to reason with you and provided you nothing but FACTS and CLEAR examples.

    FE (as has been stated numerous times) offers a free trial with no need for bank details.

    The free CD key is a different offer entirely and requires cc details for activation. If you wish to live off-grid (as it were) and allow no games company access to your cc details you have 2 options:

    1. Play F2P games and do not use their item shops.

    2. Only play limited content free trials, such as WAR/AoC, they may be "endless", but they are restricted.

    (I was thinking of putting EvE in there, but I'm not sure about CCP's billing methodology, if you don't require a cc along the way they'd be unique in the field. )

    It is completely your right to play whatever and however you wish, as it is your right to have all the opinions you want on the ethics of games companies. I would suggest, however that were there anything ethically shady about the practices of Blizzard / Mythic / SOE / NCSoft / Icarus and all the other game companies that follow this practice they would have been come down from by a height by consumer groups and sued into the ground. That they haven't and that they all continue to have, and gain, subscribers would seem to indicate your opinion to be in the extreme minority.

    No matter how vocal you are about it, it's a minority stance, and I'm sure Icarus will scrape by quite nicely without your cc details.

    Your disgruntlement with them does not detract in any way from the generosity of their offer. No matter how much you may like it to.

    they must be really hurting for subs if they are doing a promotion like this.

  • KremlikKremlik Member UncommonPosts: 716

    To the popcron worthy posters - Guys remember where you are your at MMORPG.com, this is troll flame ville, most of these posters that 'claim' things don't know jack about what their talking about and try to 'justify' why somthing that they don't like is bad and everything is evil and everyone should 'do as they say' with doubletalk.

    The guy doesn't like the game and is trying to make sure everyone doesn't take up the offer because HE said so and he's trying to justify it really badly - just leave him to play Farmville or somthing.

    Plus this offer has worked a lot of new and returning players are thinking of staying with the game, myself included, 'desperate' or not the offer payed off - kudos to them for trying somthing orginal... AGAIN!

    Bring on the WARRRRGGHH!

  • GoobGoob Member Posts: 398

    Woah, got my key, I am so excited! Great deal, thanks to those who brought this to us :)

    I tried FE out when they offered that free 10 days within the first bit of the game's release. It was interesting, I couldn't get passed the clunkiness, so I didn't feel like paying 50 bucks for the game. But now my mouth is watering at not having to pay that retail fee, and a full 30 days to get into it... SWEET!

    Will be starting once I beat Mass Effect 2 :)

    Well I gave it a good 4 hours, and I have concluded this is definitely not for me.  The community is nice, but apparently this is a heavy duty crafting oriented game with little that is group oriented (is there even any raiding?).  If this was a f2p, I could understand messing around for hours and hours on end just to be able to gain a level.  After 4 hours, I was still in the same clothes I was in from the beginning - it's definitely not "loot oriented".  Maybe I'm just too much of a loot ho for this to appeal to me.

    Nice atmosphere - I just wish it was a bit more exciting and had a little bit faster pace.  This will likely appeal to anyone who likes crafting, though, and wants something completely different than elves and dwarves.  I just don't see much here that I personally want to do.

    Beginning levels go slow, no idea why... but it definitely speeds up. But you are right, it isn't a loot oriented game, you will craft most of your loot. And there is some group content, but not 'raids'.

    Former xFire user... I only wanted a game tracker and messenger, not a screenshot taker, video recording, broadcasting piece of bloatware.

    FE is a post apocalyptic game of scarcity.

    As such, loot doesn't fit. If you dislike crafting on principle, FE will not appeal. But they allow offline crafting for a reason.

    Redranger: I see your point. You could have been much clearer ay the beginning, but I believe your contention is that if you are not giving them money at this exact time, they have no need for your bank info. Which I understand, but I don't know of anyone, mmo or not, that does that. Do you have examples of AAA titles that are sub based but don't get cc info?

    Who am I?

    The game does not have the "suck you in" formula most other mmo's have of allowing you to get the first 5 levels in 2 hours. I brought this up in Alpha and was ignored.

    There is a tradeoff ,though, all levels are earned in same amount of time. I am capable of earning 1 level in a 4 hour period of time just from running missions in the towns. Admittedly, still alot to learn and takes a long time to learn everything but in the end, it pays off.

    I don't think people realize that this game is sort of played like EvE or Dark Fall. Eve, in my opinion is possibly the most boring game that anyone could pick up for a trial. 14 days is not even close to enough time though to get things done. I know this because I've tested both and had both of those feelings.  Once you get past 2 weeks of gameplay though in  Eve, it can be a lot of fun! 

      Same thing here with dark fall, four hours is not enough time. Games that take long periods of time to play should have more things like what Fallen Earth just did. That way you have 30 days to experience the game. Personally this is the kind of game for people who enjoy games like EvE or Darkfall. Long and tedious, and can put you to sleep. But man when it all hits the fan it's AWESOME!

    So please, this is just something to keep in mind. If you are looking for something that will draw you in, in four hours with lush story etc.. you  have your options.

     

    AoC ( story line is right off the bat)

    WoW ( Faster speed leveling, faster upgrades, all about the gear.)

    Guild Wars ( F2P , lush story line, quick leveling, faster upgrades. )

    IMO Those three games right there have that "play for four hours and enjoy it" feel because it's simple and that's what it sounds like people want now a days. So obviously then you wouldn't be labeled into the "hard core" though either.

    Fallen Earth, Eve, and Dark Fall are really NOT for the casual gamer. Just stating a fact. Players like myself, that's a whole different story, and Icarus might possibly have a Sub... or four from me.
