Fallen Earth Players Host In-Game Crafter's Market

When you picture a post-apocalyptic wasteland in your mind, a Crafter's Market may not be the first thing that pops into your head. Regardless, a group of players has formed the Wasteland Crafter Co-Operative and will once again be hosting a Crafter's Market in New Flagstaff on October 2 at 5 p.m. EDT.

All players are invited to set up a stall to showcase their items, and there will also be a Grand Jousting Tournament and Gladiator Pit Fighting for those of you who would prefer a little combat mixed in with your crafts.

Invite Friends to Fallen Earth for Reward Points

We recently got the chance to sit down with Fallen Earth's Senior Game Designer Marie Croall to talk about the game's first anniversary and the launch of patch 1.7. One of the topics we discussed was the new Customer Rewards Program that was implemented with the new patch. The first phase of the program introduced Veteran Reward Points, which allows players to earn points for each month of their subscription that can be used to purchase in-game items.

The Fallen Earth team just announced the second phase of the Customer Rewards Program, and it lets players earn additional reward points by inviting friends to play the game! So now you can collect points simply by having a subscription and inviting friends into the wasteland. More details can be found in the FAQ.
