Newmissions,ranks,NPCs,andrestrictedKnowledgesbecomeavailableasyou gain favor with a faction. You gain Faction Points with your faction and its allies by completing missions for them, but that also loses you points with your enemies and archenemy faction.

There is no way to gain favor with everyone equally. Alliances allow you to changeyourfactionbyworkingyourwayaroundthewheel. Intheearlierstages of the game, switching factions is not hard, but the longer you are partofafaction,themoredifficultitbecomestochange.

WEAPONSThere are three basic types of weapons: melee, pistols, and rifles (see Combatforfulldetails).Youaremorelikelytoencountermakeshiftitems(suchasapistolfashionedfromapaintballgun)untilyoudeveloptheSkillsneeded to scavenge or craft items. Players not interested in crafting will be able to purchase upgraded weapons through Merchants or other players. Weapons wear out over time and require regular maintenance by using WeaponryorBallisticsRepairKits.

In general, melee weapons do massive amounts of damage at close range, while rifles are great for precise, long-range combat. Characters special-ized solely with one weapon type will have a tough time during certain en-counters: rifles penalize your defenses in close-quarters combat, and melee weapons are worthless at range. Meanwhile, pistols are something of a bal-ance between the extremes. They’re versatile and can be used at short and long ranges, but they don’t do nearly as much damage as the best weapons in the melee and rifle classes.

AmmuNITIONLikealotofmanufacturedresourcesintheGrandCanyonarea,ammunitioncan be hard to come by. Note that each type of ranged weapon has its own type of ammo.

ARmORTwenty different armor slots allow you to protect yourself from head to toe. Initially, the armor items in these categories reflect either the remnants of old-world technology or things that survivors have cobbled together from thematerials at hand.You’ll see items likemotorcycle jackets andKevlarright alongside scrap-metal plating and sandworm hides.

CombatFallen Earth features many open PvP areas, so it’s essential to be prepared. The game uses the accuracy of First-Person Shooter (FPS) combat with the damage tally and character advancement of a Role-PlayingGame (RPG),whichmeans that it combines a shooter-style aiming reticlewith attackerand defender statistics in order to determine the results of combat.

SPECIAL AbILITIESAll characters have Special Abilities that augment the basic combat system. Forexample,acharacterwithahighPistolSkillcan learnthePistolWhipAbilitytoknockdownanenemyduringafight.

dEAThWhen your character’s Health is reduced to zero, you are incapacitated for up to fiveminutes.During this time, a teammatemay resuscitate youbyusing a Mutation Ability or medical item; otherwise, you automatically res-urrect in the nearest LifeNet pod. A trip to the LifeNet pod is available for anyonewhodoesn’twanttowaitoutthefullfiveminutes.

When you resurrect, you suffer penalties to your XP or stats. The more often you die within a short span of time, the greater these penalties become. In no case does a dead character leave a lootable corpse behind, so there’s no stealing a player’s gear, mount, or vehicle.

Melee weapons do massive amounts of damage at close range, while rifles are great for precise, long-range combat.

Pistols are versatile and can be used at short and long ranges, but they don’t do as much damage as the best weapons in either the melee or rifle class.

Emotes & Slash Commands. Emotes change your character’s visual expres-sion of their emotions. Slash commands are another way of selecting actions you wish your character to perform. Most emotes and slash commands can belocatedbyclickingtheplussign(+)atthebeginningoftheChatLine.

You can also type /ignore add name and then someone’s name (e.g., /ig-nore add name AnnoyingPlayer), if you wish to forbid a character from com-municating with you anymore, or /unstuck if you manage to get trapped during the course of your adventures. (Note that the /unstuck command actually kills you,which allows LifeNet to reconstitute your body at thenearest available cloning facility.)

Grouping. Form teams by inviting other nearby players or using the Social Interface (: a name on the Online Players List). The team leader determines the loot rules that will be used by the team. If you want to form a cluster of groups for major activities, you can convert the team into a raid.

Trading & Selling. You can trade chips or barter goods with nearby players by using the various options in the Interface Window. You can also travel to barter towns to put goods up for sale at the auction house. Each auction costs a surcharge on the goods sold, based on the value of the goods and how long the auction is.

Mail. Messages, items, and chips can be delivered to other players using the Mail System. Mailboxes, represented by white envelopes on the Mini Map, are foundinmostsettlementsthroughouttheGrandCanyonProvince.Clickyourmailbox to access mail, remove items, or send messages to your friends.

End User License Agreement

THIS USER AGREEMENT AND LICENSE (this “Agreement”) DESCRIBES THE TERMS BY WHICH Fallen Earth LLC. (“FALLEN EARTH”) OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO AN ACCOUNT (THE “ACCOUNT”) TO PLAY THE FALLEN EARTH™ ONLINE POST APOCALYPTIC ROLE PLAYING COMPUTER GAME (THE “GAME”). BY PRESSING THE “I AGREE” BUTTON OR OTHERWISE INSTALLING OR PLAYING THE GAME, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY PRESSING THE “I DECLINE” BUTTON, YOU DECLINE OUR OFFER, IN WHICH CASE YOU MAY RETURN THE GAME TO YOUR RETAILER FOR A REFUND CONSISTENT WITH YOUR RETAILER’S RETURN POLICY. If you have any questions regarding these terms and conditions, please contact customer service at support@fallenearth.com.A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT CAN BE FOUND ON THIS DISK UNDER THE DOCUMENT NAME “Fallen Earth EULA.html”.1. Accounts are available only to adults or, in their discretion, their minor children seventeen (17) years or younger. If you are a minor, your parent(s) or guardian(s) must complete the registration process, in which case they will take full responsibility for all obligations under this Agreement. By clicking the “I Agree” button and providing us with a credit card number, you represent that you are an adult and are either accepting this Agreement on behalf of yourself or your child. Except as pro-vided herein, you may not transfer or share your Account with anyone, except that if you are a parent or guardian, you may permit one child seventeen (17) years or younger to use the Account instead of you (in which case you may not use that Account). You are liable for all activities conducted through the Account, and parents or guardians are liable for the activities of their child. Corporations and other legal entities are not eligible to obtain Accounts.2. To play the Game, you must (a) purchase the Fallen Earth game DVD-ROM (the “DVD-ROM”), which includes software required for the Game (the “Software”), (b) have a fully paid Account, and (c) have an Internet connection (which we do not provide) to access your Account. In addition to any fees described herein, you are responsible for paying all applicable taxes (including those we are not required to collect) and for all hardware, software, service and other costs you incur to access your Account. Neither this Agreement nor your Account entitles you to any subsequent releases or new versions of the Software, nor to any expansion packs or similar ancillary products. You understand that we may update or otherwise enhance the Software at any time and in doing so incur no obliga-tion to furnish such updates to you pursuant to this Agreement.3. We may amend this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion. Amendments shall be commu-nicated to you at the time you log into your Account. If you do not agree to be bound by any future changes, you agree to discontinue use of the Game and terminate your account. If you use the Game after we have posted a change to this Agreement, you agree to be bound by all of the changes.4. You represent and warrant that you have completed, or that you will promptly complete, all in-formation in the new Account registration form provided by us (“Account Creation”) correctly and completely. You must select a Username and Password during the registration process. You are solely responsible in all respects for: (a) all use of the Game made using your Username and Pass-word; and (b) maintaining the confidentiality of your Username and Password. Only one individual may access the Game at the same time using the same Username and Password. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your email address, Username or Password or any other breach of security regarding the Game of which you are aware. Fallen Earth may refuse to grant you a character name that impersonates someone else, is protected by trademark or other proprietary right law, is vulgar or otherwise offensive, or for other reasons as determined by Fallen Earth. In

the event that any of your Account Information changes in the future, you agree to promptly update such information. We never ask you for your password by telephone or email, and you should not disclose it this way if someone asks you to do so. There may be an additional charge to reissue lost passwords. Although we may offer a feature that allows you to “save” or “remember” your password on your hard drive, please note that third parties may be able to access your computer and thus your Account and you are responsible for their actions.5. We describe our fees and billing procedures at http://www.fallenearth.com/pricing, which are incorporated herein by reference. All fees are prepaid and non-refundable, and are stated and must be made in U.S. Dollars. Upon your acceptance of these terms, we will automatically charge your credit card the Account fee plus any applicable taxes we are required to collect, and you authorize us to do so. Thereafter, on the applicable anniversary, we will charge your credit card the then-current renewal rate plus any applicable taxes we are required to collect, and you authorize us to do so. If we are unable to process your credit card at a renewal period, your Account may be immediately terminated.6. This Agreement (including your Software license and your Account) will terminate immediately and without notice if you breach this Agreement or infringe any third party intellectual property rights, or if we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us, or upon gameplay, chat or any player activity whatsoever which is, in our sole discretion, inappropriate and/or in violation of the Fallen Earth™ Code of Conduct, which are posted at http://www.fallenearth.com/codeofconduct and are incorporated herein by reference. If this Agreement is terminated under these circumstances, you will lose access to your Account for the balance of any prepaid period without any refund. We may terminate this Agreement if we decide, in our sole discretion, to discontinue offering the Game, in which case we may provide you with a prorated refund of any prepaid amounts.7. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we hereby grant to you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Software solely in connection with playing the Game via an authorized and fully-paid Account.
