After earlier issues with the alpha servers in December 2015, The Repopulation has been offline since. A new post has been written on the official site with some very good news for players and fans of the game. The Repopulation is moving to the Unreal engine which will require rewriting the base code from scratch hence a significant delay in the release of the game. However, backers and players will gain access to Fragmented, a survival title based in the same game universe as The Repopulation.
Testing of Fragmented will begin in February and is an action-oriented "trimmed down" version of the main game. For those interested in more details, there is FAQ related to both the move to the Unreal engine and Fragmented itself.
How Does Fragmented Differ From The Repopulation? For starters it is not an MMO. It is an online game, where users will be able to play on official or custom servers. It also will not feature any missions or inquiry system. It will feature both PvE and PvP content, with different game modes to allow for PvE Only, PvP Only, Permadeath, or Accrued Advancement.
Where The Repopulation was RPG first, with simulated shooter in Action Mode, Fragmented is a First/Third Person Survival Shooter with RPG elements.
See both on The Repopulation site.
