Welcome to Fallen Earth-Mart, how may Icarus help you?
It always amazes us just how resilient the economy is. Drop a few nukes, unleash a plague, dig up a tomb of zombies -- no matter how you end the world, the survivors will always emerge to find a merchant who's set up shop.
In the spirit of post-apocalyptic commercialism, Icarus Studios has stocked the Fallen Earth store with a number of new items this week. Now available are the Scavenger t-shirt (which -- obviously -- boosts your scavenging skill), the Fallen Earth ATV and Badland Rider mounts, and a Clone Psychoactive Shot that increases your XP rate for an hour.
For players who have stocked up on reward points, the in-game vendors will be featuring a buffed-up array of goodies come Monday, October 25th. Vendors' inventories will include increased vault storage space, the Weak Nitrous Booster, LifeNet Collar Hacks, and harvesting tool buffs.
Does this all mean that Icarus is gradually preparing Fallen Earth to go to a free-to-play/microtransaction model, or is the company simply seeking additional revenue streams? In any case, the anemic store and vendors are now looking mighty beefy and potentially attractive for players looking for a leg up.
