    Anyone play it when it was originally online? I always thought it was interesting but never took the plunge.

    They will put the sub back with perks ,(9.99 has been discussed before) ive been involved at that community since it shutdown , and many folks are willing to pony up for that ..

    Game has strong potential for cash shop cosmetics also .. Which i really see happening after they get it up and bringing in a cash flow ,..

    Yes! Was there when it went down, was there when there was talk of a restart, will be there for a new launch. Criminally underrated game.

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    I enjoyed it but never got hooked enough for it to become my main game.

    Yes and I quite enjoyed it. It was very buggy but the support staff were on hand, courteous and quite prompt at helping you out of a bind if a game stopping bug was encountered. The only real problem with the game was lack of new content. After awhile the brunt of the player base ran out of new things to do and moved on to greener pastures. Hopefully this revival will help them to add new content to the game.

    For me personally, this is FANTASIC news! I really enjoyed Fallen Earth and was very sad when it closed. It wasn't the greatest in graphics and had other flaws, but there was something special about it.

    Really looking forward to getting back into it.

    I wonder... I was a subscriber and had a ton of coins saved up. Any chance they will honor those? ;-P

    I remember this being an alternative for SWG vets, it just never did well, which is sad because the game wasn't terrible. It was pay to play at time when the market was flooded with f2p; when it did finally go f2p, it was too late to save it.

    The game was fun but really buggy. I hope they do a bug pass before they launch.

    IIRC it was f2p before they took it down...I remember they severely limited how much money you could have to the point where you couldnt even sell an item on the market for much at all......If it is going to be like that again, then theres no point in playing.....ALso the PVP aspect of it is a pain, hopefully they dont enforce that....if it was just a f2p PVE game it would be great.

    I recall playing and enjoying myself until I got into the mid 30s.  Went looking for a guild and found out most of the upper level players had mostly left the game for a lack of things to do....so I ended up leaving as well.

    Perhaps this latest reincarnation will fare better.

    That's kind of the same experience I had plus lots of bugs. In addition to that my PC wasn't strong enough to run it smoothly but I still had lots of fun and enjoyed the setting a lot.
    Really looking forward to check this out again after so long.

    Now if only Wildstar could return aswell!

    Do you think the world was too big, and they just couldnt fill in enough content?...I only made it to low 20s so I didnt see all that much of the world, but it did feel like things were getting further apart.

    No, original game didn't fair well enough.
