If fantasy isn't the genre for you, and the idea of spending another day in high-tech shiny sci-fi doesn't appeal, then you're in luck. The team at Fallen Earth, LLC have thrown open the rusted-out doors and are now welcoming in any and all beta testers who would like to help them in this testing phase. Your job, should you choose to accept it? Jump on the Fallen Earth servers and go hunting for any last minute bugs so the devs can destroy them. This is assuming the sheer number of folks playing doesn't make their servers scream like a little girl and run away, mind you.

With a thrashed-out, nightmarish world of strange sights and complex game-play, Fallen Earth seems ready to fulfill the desires of those who have been waiting for all manner of twisted hell to break loose in an MMO. The client and keys are now available on FilePlanet for paid subscribers and non-subscribers alike. Once you've gotten all set up, run through the tutorial, and gotten your first taste of life in this strange new world, we'll see you in-game for some great big mutated bug hunting!

I think the fact that they have to go out of their way to get testers is a bad sign for them. Even bad MMO's have a selective open beta, rarely do they offer to give beta accounts to fileplanet freebie accounts, unless they need intensive stress testing..

Champions online is free and open to all. Its called 'Open Beta' and most if not all MMOs go thru it.

This just goes to show you that no matter what a developer does, that people will misconstrue it and complain about it.

If they didn't open it up to anyone people would complain that they are trying to hide something or that it isn't really a 'open' beta at all. Then even if they do open it up to anyone, someone comes along and says they did it because they are desperate for testers.

why is it everytime i try to download a game thru fileplanet it gives me a list of reasons why i may not be able to, none of which are true. I had gotten a beta key to citiesxl and never even got on thanks to them using fileplanet.

I wonder if i paid for their subscription the download would mysteriously work.

I'll just keep wondering..or not.

Most people know that 'Open' means no NDA. If I remember correctly, CO wasn't free to all FP users until late in the week. I also remember FE expanding its closed beta several times due to lack of participation. I'm not saying its a bad game, I'm saying hardly anyone outside of the MMO circle jerk knows about the game. Same goes for CO really.
