Fallen Earth is a free-to-play MMO developed by Reloaded Productions (formerly by North Carolina-based Icarus Studios and Fallen Earth). The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland located around the American Grand Canyon. Fallen Earth's gameplay features FPS/RPG hybridization, first-person/third person views, hundreds of items, including improvised equipment and weapons, a variety of functional vehicles, a real-time, in-depth crafting system (which includes vehicles), various skills and abilities, factions and tactical PvP, all existing within 1000 square kilometers of usable terrain based on real-world topographical maps of the area.
The game was released on September 22, 2009 with pre-orders from Direct2Drive, Steam and the official website granting early access from September 9, 2009.
On June 15, 2011, it was announced that GamersFirst had purchased the intellectual property of the game and that the game would be going "free to play." On August 1, the transition was implemented.
On July 30, 2011 the Icarus accounts were merged with GamersFirst accounts, a process which had been scheduled for August 1. Players now log into the game using GamersFirst details rather than their old Icarus account details. At this point, the game was still subscription based; new GamersFirst players were automatically put into 14 day free trials. The game went "Free to Play" on 13 October 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or earth:
“I complacently accepted the social order in which I was brought up. I probably would have continued in my complacency if the happy necessity of self-support had not fallen to my lot; if self-support had not deepened and widened my contacts and my experience.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“He touched the soil, caressing its grains between his fingers: “I am this: this earth here, and I have it in my blood. Look at my color; it seems as though the earth faded onto me and onto you too. This country belongs to the black man and each time others tried to take it away from us, we mowed down injustice with our machetes”.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
