    Why is a game with tens of thousands of articles written on its forums still closed? The game is not even in the priority stage, they think we will do it one day. This game is the father of post apocalyptic mmo, I think it's enough to keep it closed, I don't think the value of some things should be measured by money.

    For a business (which Little Orbit is) everything has to measured by its monetary value. You can't keep the lights on if there is little to no income. You cannot pay staff wages to improve or fix a game with an income stream less than the expenses. If you did the company would go under real quick.

     

    FE while quaint isn't the be all and end all of games. There are so many great titles out there to play with a lot better graphics, game play, etc. Hence why FE was not that popular. It only drew certain types of gamers to it. Yes those that played it loved it and some would love to see it up running again. But the realists know that before it was closed down the game was in an abysmal state and could not continue as it was. Putting FE back online because people wish it in its current form would be a complete waste of time, money and effort for LO.

     

    So while it is fine to romanticise FE being back online for no other reason than nostalgia, the reality is that almost everything is measured by money.

    Honestly these pictures🤮 disgust me, this is fake news, they have not worked a inch on the game, I mean yes, children play this but how do yo see the FE community??? 2 years later and your giving us pics🤢. 👀 Where is the beginning gameplay video 🎥 pics 🤢 means nothing at all that's easy 💁 . . Little Orbit you suck tbh. 😒 You have let all the FE fans down, and for this fraud of a post, I'ma take a picture, go-to Walmart get the sketch of it, piss on it and bury it 😂😂😂

    Ok we get it it. No one has paid you any attention since FE shut down, so now you show your true Trump supporter mantra.

     

    We get it, but still don't care. If you feel so disappointed with Little Orbit. Log out. Delete all your accounts and never look at this forum again. Don't think anyone would mind if you did.

    This! I hope the current devs realize that the playerbase was much bigger than this forum leads you to believe (though not really that big during the last few years or compared to other MMOs but those nerds don't know anything... 😛). This remaster/remake/FE2/whatever along with some marketing could really make this game great again. FE was truly one of a kind. Unique post-apocalyptic setting (not that unique anymore since FO76 T_T), Old-school MMORPG elements like long and immersive quest chains, earning reputation, making friends and enemies at leveling spots or PvP zone harvester spots, hunting serendipity mobs, the list goes on... Just amazing. Didn't really mean to write an entire review here but I just really can't wait to play again, thanks for the update!

    Of course the player base was HUGE, MASSIVE even. It rivaled other games like WoW. So many players that the servers couldn't handle the influx of players online and that there were queues to get into game at its height of popularity. (can you read the sarcasm?)

     

    There were queues because the server couldn't handle a few thousand players. Hell I was told by some whom played from the begining, there were times the servers couldn't handle a few hundred players.

     

    A few thousand players is not that many when you consider there are millions of gamers out there. FE while unique and loved by most that played it did not interest the majority of gamers overall. Which is OK because that made the game more special to the devoted players of FE. It is not a game that would ever be popular to the masses because it does not offer instant gratification and requires a considerable amount of time to play and achieve anything (eg: crafting, gathering).

     

    Those stating this do not hate FE as some imagine, but live in reality. You can love a game but realise its short comings.

    A kickstarter would be good for the game. It could provide enough funding for the studio to make some sort of timeline.

    Think either the community or the moderators should create a discord for updates and a general area where those who played can chat to those who haven't.

     

    They definitely have people available for testing. Who will test the game for free.

     

    There is or at least was a community discord for FE that became so toxic that a lot of players refused to use it and LO left it. You have the forums and FB for updates. Don't need anything else since in reality LO doesn't have much to share.

    Lets have 2 servers, Fresh Start and Old Gear. You can enjoy your old gear for about 3 days then you will be so bored and alone because 99.9% of the game population will be on the Fresh start server. Who knows could be all kinds of new things to do and see during the leveling process. maybe even new level cap and endgame content

    Ok so there will be about 30 or if you are lucky 40 players in total online. That is 99.9% of FE population before it shut down right? WOW!!! That makes it totally worth while having 2 servers.

     

    FE never had enough population to require 2 servers before it went offline, not even at its peak. It won't require 2 if it makes it back. It just isn't a game that is that popular with the majority of gamers.

    Fresh start would be nice and higer level cap. Because I remember when players grinded lvl 55 in a week or less, then all went boring to them. I say lvl 100 and maybe some new content in end game . Level 100 , because then we dont have to see so many alts running around xD

    It wasn't boring because they had many alts or because they could grind to 55 in a few days. It was boring because FEs end game was very, very lacking. Raising lvl cap 100 isn't going to stop people having alts. It would actually drive some players away. It would also mean an increase in alts because of people requiring many more to go into certain areas that are lvl capped (if the game stayed the same as before). You really didn't think of that did you?

    I understand, being a core member, of a game, I really do, im like that about Ultima Online. I feel, if people knew more, they would just play it. and i never want it to change, but i realized, many years ago... if this game stays the same? to one small niche. it will never be popular.
    Im saying, this game is great, but sadly... it doesnt appeal, to a large enough crowd, in it's previous form, to ever have a playable population. For this game, to ever be popular, to the point of daily play, and constant, around the clock things to do, and advance... pvp, etc. It's just gonna be a game, most lvl to 34, and leave.

    Even as a core member, u gotta realize, it needs more population. I feel, the re-release, will depend on u core members, making it good to all, yet, keeping it's perspective of an overall game. So all can enjoy.

    I agree. Keeping FE exactly the same but with better eye candy will not entice new players, considering the mass appeal of newer games out there. Reducing the content of FE will not bring in masses of players either. FE was unique and only ever had a small player base. Some will disagree but in comparison to other online games, FEs player base was always small. At its peak only a few thousand compared to hundreds of thousands in other games. It wasn't popular for a reason. It was never a game that gave instant gratification, which many gamers like.

     

    Wish LO luck in finding a balance in keeping the old but introducing the new. Not always easy to do.

     

    Merged.

    I've noticed Fallen Earth is starting to die down. Not many players at all. I've been through 2 clans, and have been level 55 for a long time now. I remember when I started playing the server was so overpopulated. Now it really isn't. I mean, my clan are always on. But once you hit level 55, upgrade all trade skills, and visit everywhere etc. There really isn't anything to do.

    Could it be because the game is shutdown and you are only dreaming that you have been online?

     

    What ever psychedelic drug you are using, could you please share it with the others that are waiting for a reboot so that they may have the illusion of being back in FE too.

    For those that believe something should be up for them to play now I ask what your experience in programming is?

     

    You seem to have such broad knowledge on how to fix FE that you must of worked on many, many games to know that in such a short period of time LO should have completed work on a couple of sectors. Just to give you something to do in your down time. Your knowledge of  Icarus must be astounding to know without a doubt how easy it will be for LO to port the game over to a new engine. You must of seen the current state of the coding and figured out exactly what must be done.

     

    Please in your wisdom show us the extent of your knowledge of things obviously none of us have ever considered. Tell us all how to fix the issues in technical terms to prove you really know anything (because of course we  all know those crying for things now, this very instance are clueless on this matter).

     

    Stop getting your panties into knots. Sit back and wait like good little children. FE will get back online 'IF' and 'WHEN' LO can solve the issues they have encountered and not before, no matter how many times you stamp your little feet.

    i know this post will probably get all sorts of comments ......... does it really matter if we have to restart from scratch ,ah prices will come down thats for sure plus other positives . 

    For some people yes it does matter, to the point if most of their items/collections are gone they feel there is no reason to start over as it took years to accumulate what they have. Some items where bought from marketplace so people want to know if the items they paid cash for will be transferred over. Which is fair enough to ask and want.

     

    There are positives and negatives for both sides of the 'start over' argument but ultimately we all have to wait and see what happens to FE in the future.

    Also, I made a 5th toon to prove that never going in pvp zones will result in that toon being underleveled at the end of Kaibab forest.

    If you do EVERY quest per zone (including the oddly placed PVE quests in pvp zones, go figure) before moving to the next zones, you will finish Kaibab forest with well over the required level to do quests in Deadfall.  If you skip all pvp zones, you will be underlevelled and can't do quests in Deadfall, so you're forced to waste away at Defense towns for hours to level up instead.  Fuuuuun /s.

     

    Well I have to disagree with this as I never went into PVP zones on first toon due to having no clue on how to PVP, but I did lvl well without defense towns. Never actually went to one until I was in Deadfall. Doing all the quests and crafting all the time got me to 55 without ever stepping into the PVP zones or spending hours in a defense town. Nor did I have commanders. I didn't even go into Dome to lvl until my 2nd toon was lvl50.

     

    I think people just tried to rush to 55 without truly exploring all FE had to offer the PVE player.

     

    The PVE rewards do suck though. Wish it had been addressed years ago...

    i don't have hope for a new release it will be just a messed up and mismanaged rerun 

    that everyone that spent years here will have to start over

    i spent 8 years and hundreds of dollars just to loose all progress don't think its worth starting over

     

    But if you don't come back (if that is ever a possibility) who will I compete with over who has the most toons? 😁

    well i log in togame a month later and its dead so what? only thing bring people back is something new.  Dracio u always gotta be on everyones comments but u never put any effort to helpthe game just back lash suggest something helpp it out anything. u as bad eric cloud in game. U part og the toxic to game.

    If you consider logical thinking as toxic and banter between like minded individuals as an issue perhaps single player games are better for you.

     

    If you post something on the forums you have to be prepared that others may have different opinions or ideas to your own.

     

    LO bought a game that is old, bugged, a complete mess, has a dying population. I'm always amazed they still keep the game running considering the fact it is costing them money to do so as the income derived from the game doesn't even cover costs, as LO has stated before.

     

    If you bother to check older posts of mine you will find many ideas put forth. In the old forums there were even more ideas. Eric is a good friend of mine and known to help players in need of assistance. If you have issues with Eric that has nothing to do with me but my guess would be you both had different ideas on a topic and your negative feelings have progressed from there. Perhaps you could try and speak to each other as adults, listening to each others points of view and respecting them. Even if you do not agree with someone you can still learn to get along. Name calling is rarely productive.

    A lot of the very nice players that have played FE or are still in FE (the very few there is) often only played FE because it was free. Many have stated if they had to pay to play they would never of done so. Many of these free players have contributed to FE marketplace through either subs or the occasional purchase over the years. Making people pay to play would decrease the already non existent player base even more and would stop others from even considering trying FE in the future.

     

    From a business prospective it would be detrimental to the income derived from FE. This would reduce player numbers considerably, thus reducing possible income even more. Making marketplace items non tradeable would effect the economy of the game and profits from the marketplace as there wouldn't be an incentive for those able to buy items in bulk to sell to other players in game. This has been a part of FE's economy for as long as I can remember.

     

    Having a stable game, engaging content, events, new items in the marketplace would do more than reducing the maps, making it pay to play and making all marketplace items non tradeable.

    let's see if you have something called intelligence after this argument:

    Croft is my second character, before I started with another character and I have not been interested at all in the pvp until the end of 2011 since my initial character has all the crafting (I think it takes time this, at least a year that I know) With this, the video that I show and knowing that it is not easy to learn pvp in this game it is clear to see the date that I started playing, being at least when the death toll books was the strongest of the game and everything was balanced (this is the game space that I think was the most addictive and the one that should be put) By the way, I laugh about your 20,000 hours of play because I do not remember that 1 was in the most splendid time of the game.

     

    I am left with an hour of the time that was a game to play 20K hours (if it were true that I doubt it) that you had played your game in a dead game

     

     

     This is link of video, not done by me btw, if not by people who acepted me in their team because i was good doing pvp:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smW4wwpLwr0

     

     

     

    after see video, you can FEEL what means pvp ( is not like today OBVIUSLY)

     

    It doesn't take a year to max all crafting on a character. Can be done in roughly a month or so if you are really organised. I have several max crafters and didn't spend much time doing them all. Leveling crafting is a great way to passively level your toon. But hey, only a person with experience in FE would know this.

    Thanks for the feedback. 🙂 Appreciate it. 

     

    Surprises me a little that there's toxicity left in a community for a 10-year-old game... although maybe the fact that some people have been around for so long contributes.

    You always get trolls regardless how small the community is and those that like to believe they are better than everyone and no rules apply to them.

     

    I'd say stay away from PVP unless you want to be killed constantly by those that love to cheat. Just play the PVE side and find yourself a decent group of like minded people to enjoy the game with. Only put money into FE if you are comfortable spending money with little return. The game isn't being updated, etc so all you will be getting is a few boosts and crafting queues.

     

    Most of all enjoy the game, take your time and don't worry so much about reaching 55 as fast as you can. End game content is still meh.

    and this is said by a person who thinks he is "expert" in the game when he began to play in 2014 when the game was already dead.......  if you think the game was not popular it's because you did not play it when it was popular.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    @ matscott :

    you know very well where the problem is, this is like a movie and we are already in the final credits. What you should do is put the movie back again so that people can sit and watch it. if it can be an improved version of the movie better, but the game needs more players and not graphics. Leaving two maps for a year would allow a lot of people to get into the game and maybe it was a solution to the lag and all the problems that occurred because the load of the map would be much smaller, think green! positivism!

    (trust someone who has played this game since 2011 and not people who played when the game was already dead.)

    Ever looked at your 'Joined date'? It is 2013. Which means by your logic you were not in FE when it was 'popular' either. As I've stated before, you cannot go by the join dates on the forums as they do not necessarily align with the correct starting date of a person playing FE.

                                                                                                                          aroa.jpg

     

    As I've said before, I've played longer than my join date, have over 20k hrs in FE (shameful I know) but am far from an expert. Just an avid gamer that happens to like FE.

     

    FE was never really popular. It never had 100k players. Its peak when it hit Steam was 1k players. That isn't popular. Only a fool would think otherwise...

     

    The older players that have been in FE since 2009 would tell me stories of having to queue for ages just to get into FE and if more than a few hundred players were online (if that) the servers would crash. But that was way back in the beginning. The player base in FE has always been on the small scale for an mmo, admittedly it is now at its worst as far as player numbers go.

    Why don't you go to the forums of a game you like, instead of hanging around trashposting this one. You're way past the line for moderation as it is. 

    Way past the line for moderation? So someone speaking their mind and a different ideal to those that constantly make sure their blinkers are on tight need to be moderated?

     

    FE was never a very popular game. Can't deny that fact. All good things must come to end. Another fact. Just because someone can see that a game that doesn't make enough money to even cover its costs, is nothing more than a money pit, regardless of how much they love the game, shows they actually have working synapses.

     

    Some are glad FEs lights are still on, others realise that things will never improve greatly. It doesn't make sense to invest in a game that would be lucky to get several hundred players (it would be a miracle at this point). Do as one of my friends once stated "enjoy it while it lasts, as nothing lasts forever" and remember to look back fondly upon the good times had when the lights eventually go out for good.

    I think most of the players left are glad the lights are still on and happy any company would take the sinking boat of FE and put any effort into it. But as to my previous concerns about GMs it was very disheartening to have you state once Matt certain people would never, ever be GMs only to find out they were. At least they are not now 🙂
