Hello everyone,

For players who may have missed our updates on social media and updates on our Steam Forums, we want to provide a full recap of what has been happening behind the scenes over the past few weeks and share the latest progress on restoring our servers.

On February 2nd, all three of our world wide data centers went dark and all our servers went offline without notice. We were informed by our primary network hosting provider they had encountered a serious issue requiring an unspecified amount of days to fix. This forced Fallen Earth and GamersFirst offline. Unfortunately, we were not provided with an ETA at the time, but we immediately began working with our provider to resolve the issue.

After ongoing discussions, we were initially told services would be restored by Friday, February 7th. However, as delays continued, and deadlines were missed, we made the very difficult decision to terminate all services and implement an entirely new hosting solution to regain control over our infrastructure and ensure long-term stability.

This process has involved quickly securing all of our existing servers, acquiring new servers to meet player demand, and kicking off multiple network colocation and transit contracts around the world. Once we secured new servers, our team began working on restoring services.

As of right now, here is what we have accomplished for Fallen Earth, APB Reloaded and GamersFirst:

• 2/21 (Friday): Network circuits were scheduled for provisioning and activation.
  
• 2/24 (Monday): Hosting cabinets were finalized and handed over for setup.
  
• Server Racking Begins: We moved and racked all the necessary hardware for both NA and EU data centers.

All servers in North America have been set up, and we are currently waiting for one final part before going live.

In Europe, hardware has been moved to Amsterdam, racked, and plugged in. We are now waiting on circuit activation. Our CEO is currently in Amsterdam, tirelessly overseeing everything to ensure a smooth transition. Our team is actively working on-site in both locations to complete the setup as quickly as possible.

We truly appreciate the patience and support from our dedicated players. This transition has been a massive undertaking, and we are doing everything possible to ensure that APB Reloaded and Fallen Earth return stronger than before.

We are posting regular updates on our Discord, and we welcome everyone to join us there for the latest news and discussions: discord.gg/littleorbit


We will continue providing updates via Steam, Discord, and social media as we approach the final stages of this process.

Thank you for being patient with us and we'll see you back in-game soon!

Clones, your immediate attention is required.

The first contact with a large pack of underdwellers known as "Whom" appearing on the outskirts of the Grand Canyon has been confirmed. Just like the same time in the previous year, we expect them to be closely followed by the sasquatch-rated mutant "Grunch." The ever-diligent patrols work around the clock to reduce their numbers, but the truth is, we have a holiday crisis on our hands. Agent Cindy Loom has arrived with an unyielding holiday spirit more information on the potential sightings of the Grunch.

From 21rst December to 4th January, receive your tasks from her at the following locations:

• Deadfall (5527405 5105450)
  
• Kaibab Forest (6524573 5214506)
  
• Northfields (4482171 5508380)
  
• Plateau (4680480 4135025)

Bring her the evidence that Grunch will no longer steal the holiday season in Grand Canyon, andyou will be rewarded for your efforts.

It's the season.

Happy holidays!

As of now, not much about thEse structures is known. Due to this, the hiGh alert status is for the followinG locations:

Plateau (4239016, 3233429)
Northfields (4306854, 5330277)
Kaibab Forest (6596278, 5796841)
Deadfall (5738817, 5384857)
Alpha County (6363888, 4050492)
Outpost (6353411, 3619836)

An unvErified anonymous source claimed that these Growths somehow contain... eggs... that need to be harvested at the earliest convenience. ConsiderinG their demand for "more egg" throughout the conversation and an occasional squeak of what we assume was an eggsaggerated eggcitement, we'd like to remain skeptic.

Proceed egg your own risk if you run into one of the growths or any individuals requesting- MORE EGG!

***

Let the egg hunt begin (?)

As you may or may not have already picked up on, the new season is emerging in Wasteland. This Easter, there are strange sightings of formations containing abnormal, egg-like structures of an unknown origin. Thanks to our residential code doctor, Knits, these structures have been secured and are safer to handle if encountered.

Our coordinator Emily remains adamant that you should be on the lookout for an unknown individual that seems to be highly interested in the content of these mysterious formations. She also took a liking to a garment collection we've never heard of that just happened to find its way to her headquarters. She says customizable pants are all the rage this season. Could this be related to the recent events? Proceed at your own (curiosity) risk...

Well, Ritual says there's only one way to find out. Where's your sense of adventure, clones? The odds are 50/50 that in two weeks, we will be marking this peculiar occurrence as yet another wonder in the bleak reality of Wasteland. If you like your chances, don't let us stop you.

What lies behind the strange warning to the inhabitants of Wasteland? Get crackin' and find out!

Happy Easter and happy hunting!

Hi all,

Today is a very bittersweet day.

In the coming weeks prior to September 22nd, we will be launching the first all new event in honor of the 10 year anniversary for Fallen Earth. We hope that players will enjoy what we have planned, because this will now be their last chance to play the current game with their friends.

Effective 10/2 (or there about based on when the event goes live), we will be taking the Fallen Earth servers offline.

Unfortunately after weeks of monitoring things and getting players feedback, we have determined the current state of Fallen Earth just isn't sustainable in its current form.

You guys have been very tolerant, but the player experience is terrible right now. It's laggy and buggy. Servers crash quite often, and stacking is still disabled due to exploits. We don't blame the player base for the low concurrency numbers. You need a better game to play.

For clarity, we are still committed to the new version of the game that we have been working on. However we are still very early into development, so there isn't a timeline that can be provided yet.

We want to personally thank everyone for their support over the last 17 months. Fallen Earth is still one of our CEO's favorite projects. We look forward to giving it the proper attention it deserves.

Sincerely,
Little Orbit

The holidays are officially here!

Since the Fall, computer glitches and leap years have created controversy over the actual date of the New Year. For decades now, people in all areas of the Grand Canyon Province have used different dates, leading to much confusion. Now, the Archivist Coalition, with the help of LifeNet, has finally determined the actual date of the New Year. In the process of their research, the Coalition has also uncovered a great deal of information about various holidays that had been celebrated in the past. In honor of the establishment of the true date, the Coalition is sponsoring “First Night” a festival that combines many of the holidays past.

There might not be any snow in the Wasteland, but citizens from all over the Grand Canyon Province can join together, build some Dirtmen, and wait for the arrival of S.A.N.T.A (the Seasonal Arctic Network of Toy-based Altruism). They’ve been keeping track of who's naughty and nice. The nice get gifts and the naughty get hunted down. Hope you were nice! There will be plenty more celebrating where that came from, as well as holiday missions and goodies. Enjoy party crackers, fruitcake, and festive top hats from gift boxes, or trade the unopened boxes in for a chance to win the ultra-rare white top hat.
