A Brief Update from the Apocalypse.

If you take that title and add MMO to the general thought of the message, you should get one game in mind — Fallen Earth. Yup, I started to play it again, after only lasting a day back in beta. I’d say that it’s come quite a ways since launch.
If you’re curious as to why I got into it, the free trial is to blame. Tried it, really enjoyed it, bought it. Now I’m sitting here typing this as I wait for some crafting to finish so I can make my first motorcycle (I’m still quite the newbie in game, even after nearly two weeks of play). I’ll have more of this in the future, I hope. (maybe even revive the blog a bit with it)
In other news, the latest State of the Game address for Champions Online looks promising — it seems they might be listening after all. Saying pretty words is pretty empty, however, and the whole community is (I’m sure) waiting to see if they actually back up that talk. I think this could be a real make or break moment for Cryptic — they’ve just launched their second MMO (Star Trek Online, of course) and need to rekindle faith in their community — one that isn’t just for CO. Here’s to Cryptic pulling it together and regaining some trust!
