The Community Manager over at Realtime Worlds' upcoming MMORPG All; Points BUlletin (APB) has sent over a brand new update on the game's progress throughout the month of September, including implemented and not implemented fan suggestions.

Greetings All,

Firstly let me thank everyone who has so far registered their interest in Realtime Worlds and APB: All Points Bulletin. It’s great to see so much interest at this stage and hope we can grow that interest over the coming months. Anyone who still hasn’t registered and would like to receive news direct to their email can sign up at: http://www.realtimeworlds.com/index.php?id=399&pid=3

September Update:

September has seen the APB project moving forward, with progress made on various parts of the project, so this month’s update will cover this progress, along with what to expect from the team in October.

In the middle of September we moved into the final phase of internal alpha testing with regular play tests involving 100+ employees enjoying the various elements of APB currently available. The aims of this phase are to tidy up the current experiences whilst we prepare to move out of alpha, in the future phases we will begin the tentative process of allowing others into the game. Initially this will be a very core, select number of trusted friends of employees, but does mark the start of what can be considered the ‘Closed’ Beta stage of APB. Whilst any dates for future phases depend on the progress made, we will keep you updated in our future monthly updates.

cant wait for this, is gonna be sweeeeeeet

That's all stuff we already knew :\

Rather vague description of the game.  What is it?  Some kind of shooter?  It would be nice, if when posting info on these off the wall games, a brief description of what the game is, is included.

I cant wait for this game, this game is going to be awsome.

I was sooooo happy when this showed up in my inbox the other day!

Many people browse forums/game sites at work.

Many compamies block Facebook.

Using Facebook as a 'major community tool' = bad, bad idea!

It's only one tool in a toolbox of available ways to reach the gaming community, and once people know about a facebook profile with competitions etc, then can go home and look it up for themselves.

I can't wait for this game to be released it looks like it has some great new ideas, and potential;

On another note, no real 'new' information has been released about this game, I am getting tad tired of finding the same old information on a variety of websites. Even the 20 minute video of DJ at the 09 Develop conference regurgitated the same old stuff, with a 3 minute trailer of the game which can be found with a simple search of google, the APB website too.

The last update (Sept, 08) that got sent to MMORPG.com said a forum would be released on the APB.com website soon for discussion on the website. Alas, no forum, no discussion except for on third party sites such as here.

Although, they have started doing those podcasts with that guy who thinks he is funny, but actually isnt. Yet, no real information about the gameplay of the game, I got more from the MMORPG.com updates than what is available at the games own website.

For a game that has been in development for so many years, its suprising they have released so little information about the game, not really keeping people interested in the game with the spoonfed information that is available possibly may be a poor choice (more so that using Facebook as a marketing tool).
