Fallen Earth Announces Real-Time iPhone Application
November 6, 2009Players Interface to View Skills, Manage Crafting and Converse
FALLEN EARTH, LLC, and Icarus Studios Inc., developers of the self-titled massively multiplayer online game (MMO), announced today the development of a cross-platform iPhone application, which allows players to connect into the live game server and interact with the game remotely via their iPhone.
Through the new iPhone application, players will have constant access to Fallen Earth, which has been one of the most critically acclaimed releases this year. Through its interactive features, the application will allow Fallen Earth players to view their in-game character stats, mutations and trade skills as well as provide access to equipped and stored items. Players will also have the capacity to view maps for each of the three sectors in the 1,000 square kilometers of the game’s landscape.
“Fallen Earth fans will have the ability to interact with the game when away from their PCs in a way never before seen in an MMO,” said Dave Haydysch, Project Manager of Fallen Earth. “With the Fallen Earth iPhone app, players will be able to play many aspects of the game in real-time while on-the-go.”
Scheduled for release in Q1 of 2010, the application will feature extensive real-time management of several key in-game systems. Players will be able to manage their crafting queue, view recipes, craft items, buy and sell items at the Auction House as well as interact with friends, Clan members and other online players through multiple chat channels, mail and private messaging.

Fallen Earth – Days of the Dead | Ten Ton Hammer
Beginning October 23, the wastelands of Fallen Earth will be home to throngs of unwelcome Infected for more than a week in the zombie-killing spree referred to as “Days of the Dead.” To help combat these Infected, Fallen Earth LLC and Ten Ton Hammer are making thousands of trial keys available for 15 free days of Fallen Earthplay.During the Halloween extravaganza, players begin by visiting mission hubs to take reward-based repeatable missions from NPCs to destroy zombies (coordinates for these NPCs are listed in FAQ). The Bankers, a neutral faction in Fallen Earth, are also offering a special zombie-fighting weapon for killing 100 of the Infected. Players get their choice of a signature shotgun, a sawed-off shotgun or a cricket bat.
Players can also make scarecrows, made from pumpkins that are gathered from Cooking Merchants or in nearby pumpkin patches. Be on the lookout for the rare drop of the “Pumpkin of Extraordinary Merit,” which grants a five percent boost on many stats and a ten percent boost on health regeneration for an hour.

Days of the Dead FAQ | Fallen Earth
Days of the Dead FAQ | Fallen Earth
When does Days of the Dead start?Days of the Dead starts October 23 in game. All players and those who receive a free 15-day trial are eligible to participate.
Where do I get a trial key to participate?
Trial keys will be given out at www.mmorpg.com, www.tentonhammer.com and www.massively.com. Check individual web sites for schedules and quantity of keys. Keys are limited, so get them while you can!
What happens when my trial key expires?
Your trial key is good for 15 days. At the end of your trial period purchase the game and you will receive a product code. Add the purchased product code to your existing account (through www.fallenearth.com/user). No account or game information will be lost in the movement from a trial key to live service, so any items you’ve gained or missions you’ve completed will still be logged in your account when you sign into live service.
What is the event about?
About a century ago, an AI subroutine called TETRAX went a little crazy and started spewing out deranged clones. People call the clones by all sorts of names—rotters, diggers, zombies—but people are calling these new clones “Infected” because of the nanites they carry that are potentially damaging to LifeNet facilities and to clones. TETRAX managed to infect a number of LifeNet facilities throughout the province, causing them to create more of these Infected before it was shut down. The infected facilities were believed to be too damaged to be recovered, so the computers were shut off and the facilities buried… just in case.
Someone or something has dug up those facilities and turned them back on. Infected have been pouring out of the places ever since. Not only are these Infected a menace to any people they encounter, they are trying to reach other LifeNet facilities. TETRAX has contaminated the Infected with nanites that can contaminate any LifeNet computers that they come into contact with, allowing TETRAX to take control of them. It’s up to the people of the Grand Canyon province to stop this menace before the entire province is overrun with Infected!
Where do I start?
Players can get starting directions in-game from conversers at each of the mission hubs, but some of them can be tricky to find. Type /loc [coordinates] into the chat window. For example, using the first set of coordinates, your entry would be:
/loc 3911157 3255036
Use these coordinates to find a converser:

Mission hubs are located nearby some of the barter towns and neutral towns. They have NPCs that give players information about the holiday events. They also offer missions that give rewards to help players complete the missions and find the infected pods. These missions are repeatable so that players can acquire these items multiple times.
Where do I find my zombie-killing weapon?
The Bankers, a neutral faction, are also offering a special zombie-fighting weapon for killing 100 Infected. Players get their choice of a signature shotgun, a sawed-off shotgun, or a cricket bat. You can only accept this mission once. The Bankers are found at:
Sector One Locations: Embry Crossroads, Odenville, Watchtower
Sector Two Locations: Sunshine Corners, New Flagstaff
Sector Three Locations: Dieseltown, Trader’s FlatHow can I make scarecrows to attract zombies so I can kill them?
Pumpkins are needed to create scarecrows for one of the missions. You can buy pumpkins from Cooking Merchants or you can seek out one of the scattered pumpkin patches. Watch out for the rare drop of the “Pumpkin of Extraordinary Merit,” which grants a five percent increase to Strength, Endurance, Coordination, Dexterity, Perception and Willpower and a 10 percent increase to your health regeneration for one hour. This consumable Pumpkin can be used at any time and is not event-bound. It is also tradeable.
