Well guys like many i've become tired and dismayed with the state of the industry,with the recent SWTOR my initial reaction was 150 million,huh ?

With Vanguard is it only a matter of time before SOE invest in another pile of trash and kill a tarnished gem with there track record very likely as they killed the best Mo that many think ever existed.Will Dawntide fill the Sandbox gap or ever be released will Archeage live up to it's pedigree and will we see it before 2013?

But as i surfed as i have on this site for many a moon lo and behold i came across an obscurely titled new Mo,well here we go again was my intial thought some Korean F2P crap as most are these days.

But strip me naked and call me Susan i arrived at a very polished site with so much info i was engrossed,there was a vid  an insight into the lore and  the clincher a very ambitious space MO Hybrid/Sandbox that the devs have spent 3 years on and are ramping up for full Alpha testing,With too many features to shake a stick at this should have former SWG-pre NGE players positively wetting them selves with anticipation !!

So do your self a favour and check out The Repopulation furthermore the Devs are constanly on the forums and these guys were one of the first  Indies to use the Hero engine,yes the one Bioware seemingly forgot they were useing!!

This link is for the overall features page it's quite a read.

Looks good, hope they pull it off.

Yup i remeber stumbling on this awhile back then forgot about it.

I'll bookmarks this one thanks...

Hmm...definitely worth keeping tabs on the game.

Sounds promising. Are they making a medieval theme mmorpg with swords and axes as well? :P

Cool to see things moving along for them.

This is looking good, has many good features many seek! Thanks for the link :)

Thanks for taking interest in our project, if you have any questions we are happy to answer them on the forums and we also have a forum here on mmorpg as well that we check in every once and awhile (that is fairly new so there really isn't anything there yet).

Thanks for posting this!  Althought I'm sad to have to wait for it, I'm stoked that it even exists.

I'm listening to "The Sandbox" interview podcast from October.  It is very informative (as is the website).

The game is influenced by SWG, UO, EQ, MUD games, etc.  It will feature non-combat and social professions as well!  Lot's of good news here!

Your reaction to swtor was 'huh' and you expect people to respect that?  Sure, you could appeal to the haters, but this just comes off as short sighted towards the community.  As they say, you have one chance to make a first impression. *plonk*

YYAAAWWWNN!

There ain't diddly squat going on in this industry...nothing worth looking at, anyway.

Take it how you like but i've posted about SWTOR and commented about the Beta did you get the reference 150 million as in what the heck did they do with the money?,I have never flamed it just very disappointed with what to me is  a waste of the hero engine,which i have tried a very early Alpha which had more to offer than SWTOR.

And it was to be taken in jest and not the whole basis for my post which was to link to The Repopulation because quite frankly there has been enough posts and squabbling regarding SWTOR to sink a bloody battleship.

So if u like SWTOR fine and dandy if it evolves i may partake,but for now i'll sit it out and from the queues i think i made the right choice there.

Your reaction to SWTOR was better than 'huh' and you expect people to respect that? The game isn't bad, but it's mediocre. I don't know you, but your first impression on me isn't impress-ive.

I think perhaps the 'huh' could be explained like a hollywood blockbuster movie that they spend a ton of $$$ on for all those explosions and shiny effects and it might be a good ride, but at the end it was just a bullet point in what you did over the summer. Now you go watch a movie that costed significantly less and the plot and story was something that moved you and perhaps something you reflected on longer.  For $150m they could of probably done something very different and revolutionary, but they simply decided to play it safe and make something everyone is familiar with (WoW style gameplay) and what will more than likely make back the investment in development and advertisement.

Thank you could not have put it better myself,well maybe Huh? 

I wonder if this could take off like Skyrim,sort of like just use Huh as a statement 

I could have made a better SWTOR game,but our Hero engine Dev took an arrow to the knee 

Thanks i didnt know about this one, been keeping my eye on wizardry online, 40k online and wod online. ill add to the list

well if these are the guys who will be able to pull off the "themebox" hybrid that i wish someone would make, they'll have my bucks for sure.

i'll certainly keep checking in on the repop.
