Fallen Earth Going Free-to-Play

[Jun 15, 2011, 11:15 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Post-apocalyptic MMORPG Fallen Earth is going free-to-play, reports Massively, where they have first word on the change, which does not yet have a scheduled launch date. They have all the details, and here's a quick summary: "There will essentially be four tiers of this new business model: completely free, plus the Silver, Gold, and VIP subscription levels. The subscriptions will offer reward points, much as the game does now, but with even more items to purchase with those points. Keep in mind that these may not be the official names of the subscription tiers on release."

It's available for download via Steam right now

I see it on Steam for $20 with a notice saying it requires a monthly fee. I was under the impression that "completely free", as stated in the Massively article, meant they were giving away the client for free--no? I'm slightly curious what the gameplay is like, but not curious enough to spend any money on it after reading some unfavorable reviews.
