Even though most Fallen Earth fans knew these features were coming, it's still great to see them in writing. In a patch note preview post in the forums yesterday, the Fallen Earth team announced that their much-anticipated Construction tradeskill and gambling taverns will be entering the game this Monday, December 14th.
Construction will bring the ability for players to build camps in the wasteland, complete with their own vaults, merchant NPCs, mailboxes and more. The new gambling system will introduce slot machines, Blackjack tables and more to taverns throughout the Grand Canyon Province. In addition to these major features, the First Night preparations will be added, including special quests and rewards for the winter event celebrations. Pages of bug fixes also accompany this patch, so head on over to the forums to check out the preview of this Monday's patch notes and check out some extensive developer diaries and video on the update over at IGN for more information.

Cool!
They should include some poker tables in the game and start charging money for using them but allowing players to get money as well.
seriously, this MMO seems like something really immersive instead of a theme park MMO.

Its a breath of fresh air for mmo gamers that are into these types of mmo's. I am glad that indy companys are taking risks in new mmo projects, instead of the same ole same ole fantasy settings.

Sorry to 'double post', but I'm really having an oddly difficult time trying to discover whether or not there's a trial available for FE.
Nobody seems to want to mention anything about it, either way (y or n).
Can anybody point me in direction of a trial signup/process please?

We had trials available a few months ago, but they're gone now: http://www.massively.com/2009/10/23/massivelys-fallen-earth-trial-key-giveaway-and-in-game-events/
The Escapist had a few trials more recently, so they may still have some left: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/contests/register/fallenearthtrialkey
If these don't work, I'm hoping they offer trial promotions again soon.

Wow that was fast - many thanks Shawn.
It worked just fine (they must still have keys as I got one just then).
I now have a 15 day Fallen Earth trial account.
They really need to make it easier to find as I'm sure I'm not the only one curious to check it out.
Thanks again =)

Urgh the installer took 2 days to download, and I'm on an extremely fast connection.
That wasn't fun :S
Still, now I'm finally able to check it out.

i like any sort of sandbox approach a game offers, but how will they prevent urban sprawl. SWG has some excellent examples of sprawl out of control.
