The After seems to be coming back alive again at http://www.netemp-online.com/after/index.htm if anyone is wondering and was interested in that game last year.

They have confirmed the use of the Big World engine, and the graphics look sweet.  On top of that, they are posting more music soon as well as other media, and their trailer from E3 2002 is still up and running.

Their forums are pretty sparse right now but been trying to get more people to visit them, as well as their IRC chat room on the irc.stratics.com server in the room #theafter.  Forums are at http://www.netemp-online.com/forums

Also they are planning to launch a service called NEO in December sometime that is a big MMOG portal.  Looks pretty neat and definitely wanna try it out whenever it's finished.

I've already put my beta app in.  Hopefully can find more like minded souls to check out this game and put theirs in as well, as well as make the community active.  Its pretty lonely in the chat room these days.  :(

Go check it out!
