Fallen Earth, LLC announces closed beta testing is now underway for Fallen Earth, their eponymous post-apocalyptic MMORPG. They are accepting applications from those interested in the beta, though the website for some reason still says the signups are for the alpha test. Word is: "With the move to closed beta, players will have the opportunity to piece together aspects of the storyline, play freely through all three sectors, and gain a better understanding of how the game will look and feel at launch. Closed beta testing also allows the development team to better observe overall game play, perform system stress tests, and ultimately perfect the Fallen Earth game experience." They currently expect the game to go live in the first half of this year, and say an exact launch date is forthcoming.
