Patch day is an exciting time to be playing an MMO, assuming you can look past the various instabilities, server crashes, and inevitable bugs that come with a major update. Even then, there's still the sense of doing something new and different in a familiar game, however touch-and-go the new content might be. <a href="http://www.fallenearth.com"><em>Fallen Earth</em></a> is not too far from their next major patch day, but if you can't wait for the patch to go live, there's a new <a href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/80702">developer diary</a> and <a href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/80705">Q&amp;A</a> from Dev Team Lead <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Marie-Croall/">Marie Croall</a> and Live Team Lead <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Ian-Lemke/">Ian Lemke</a>.<br />

The patch's major focus was a thorough revamp of the area around the starter towns, and between those towns and the central cities. It might seem odd to add such a large patch to improve the first few levels of the game, but from the developer's point of view, it's those levels that really first get a player hooked on the game, so they wanted to make it as memorable as possible. There's also some information on Deadfall Point, a new encounter area in Sector Three, offering the higher-level players something new to experience.
