The reasons I am worried about the games: no sign of a trial post release, no open beta, very little footage on youtube, no advertisment, no decent trailers,no previews, no interviews to raise awareness, $15 sub (not bad in other games but an indie game needs something extra to get the people in and a slighly lower sub fee would do that). That being said I know I still want to try the game, but having listed those thing my decision to play will unfortunately be based on the launch.
You talk about your concerns for this small company, but you only have to look at how badly 2 of the Biggest licienced MMo's (Star Wars and The Matrix) failed miserably made by well known developing companies.
SOE did not make either, but bought both and completely destroyed em!
It shows that even well known developers with big pockets of cash can screw up big time on large liciences, manly down to greed and it all being about profit (not necessarly the devs fault).
If your unsure, just wait for more media to come out and for its release.
