Hello all,

I've just seen the above game on Steam it's F2P looks interesting, niy before downloading I was wondering if anyone has already played it and is it anygood?

I played it for a bit, its quite fun, the combat mechanism is more shootery with you having to aim. The population didnt seem overly engaging but as an explore / craft type game was quite good. Might give it another go if its gone f2p.

Downloading, this has the potential to be awesome.

And if it isn't, well its back to STO I go.

Looks nice, but need to see more videos to reach a verdict on it before I try.

It came out in 2009.

Or do you mean videos of how the f2p works?

I've played in the past (probably a couple of years ago now) it's a great game - found a friendly community, remember quite a few bugs not sure if they've been ironed out but for some reason it didn't really bother me that much anyway.

I was tempted to return myself, but with the slew of MMO's coming out this year I don't want to get too involved in anything as yet.

Found this showing how its limited

1 character slot is a bit **** and no global chat channel access is quite lame.

Looks good though.

Played it when it was new, badly programmed but a nice idea.

Quite good crafting, a pretty open game - felt a bit dead when I tried it.

Making your own motorbike was a plus though.

Been playing the f2p, its great, lots of new players infact it felt too overcrowded yesterday!

The chat is a bit spammy atm but that should calm down after its had time to settle in. Lots of people asking how to "get on a horse" lol - the control system seems to boggle a lot of people.

I've been having fun, I wish the game had better graphics but with the scale, scope and vision of the game I don't really mind that much.

This is basically the game I wish global agenda was, a true fps mmo.

If you don't mind slightly shonky game design (some parts lack finesse) but like games that have extroardinary ambition then I think you might find a new addiction in this.

I was watching a youtube video on this and the guys was saying its totally rubbish with bugs and laughing at it, how can you say its great.

Kosmiche · 25 Feb 2012 at 16:13

Its a MMO, as such it is absolutely massive in size...bugs are to be expected especially since they're not a developer with a huge budget.

I can easily disregard getting stuck on a bit of scenery for the sake of pure ambition.

Eames are you still playing this? What's your IGN, we'll have to team up?

I played Fallen Earth back when it was still with...who was it, Icarus? Eames is spot on; it's kinda rough around the edges but different, ambitious, and just plain cool. Anyone who likes crafting in a MMORPG will love this game.

Only negative for me is my old character seems to have been deleted.

Still, I created another one and I'm back in the saddle!
