GamersFirst has officially acquired the IP to Fallen Earth and plan to transition the game in to a hybrid Free2Play/ongoing membership model. From now on, the company will provide all publishing services, backend development and technical operations while Croall’s team will continue their work on the upcoming Alpha County expansion.
Once transitioned to Free2Play, Fallen Earth will provide free players completely unrestricted permanent access to every zone and instance in the game. Several types of services, items and conveniences will continue being sold in the store, and subscriptions will be replaced by a tiered (Fallen Earth Gold)membership system where each membership will include reward points that can be used to obtain store items for free on a monthly basis. Current subscribers who maintain their subscriptions through the estimated five month transition period will collect rewards when the game completes the transition. Such Veteran Rewards will include lifetime upgrades to a premium tier membership for the price of an existing subscription, as well as veteran-only items, the value of which will be determined by the number of months the player subscribed between now and the completion of the transition(Fallen Earth Chips).
