The hype level doesn't mean much in respect to a game quality and success. I've seen many game here top rated for months being big disappointement after launch. Beside, its actually at the fifteen position and just came down recently. Which is pretty good for an indie, considering the big players in beta at the moment.
I see no prophetic power, just a lot of negativity.

Anyone who has spent a decent amount of time on this site knows the hype level can change in one direction or another in a matter of days as people pay attention to different games.
Also, who are you to state exactly why the hype has dropped some for this game? Have you interviewed everyone on the website? You should learn not to make blanket assumptions. Hype can drop because people become more excited about a different game (permanently or temporarily) as well. Camelot Unchained is pretty high ion the hype list, and they aren't even funded yet, not to mention being 2+ years from a release date if they make the game.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.
This is why this game will not be an Epic fail. Like Remy said Sandbox - make your own fun. In SWG some of my greatest fun times was when I would just sit for hours buffing people in front of the starport. Doing nothing but sitting and talking to my customers. Was amazing and would love to do it again if I could, I miss that.
A well created sandbox will trump any Themepark anyday for keeping people in a game. Will it have high numbers, doubt it, but it will be a fun game that certain people like myself can get lost in.
this game looks crap , I expected more .
Don't even care if the game is good , it would have to be the most amazing game ever created to look that bad .
This. That made me laugh out loudlol, I love people like this. They see an MMO in development (Alpha no less) and think it should look like Mass Effect 3 on full graphics... Thanks for the laugh.

Is it just me or does that make no sense what so ever ?
Some people value pretty over functional and fun.
Then you are smoking what OP was smokin and you both need to stop.
And to further back the original claim that this game will fail, look at the recent F2P announcement.
No way in hell could this game merit paying a sub. None. Zero. The people making this game understand that, and have since day one. Yet they try and convince potential players it was a 'choice'. It wasn't.
You can try and debate that all you want, to no avail.
This game will sputter along for a few months, then will go the way Gods and Heroes did. A slow, painful death.......
The game can't compete on any level to other F2P games. No content, customer service will be almost non existant, the ultra small dev team will be bogged down fixing bugs and other issues and so on.

Well designed MMORPGs can thrive with small dev teams. All the early ones did. It's about giving the players tools, not churning out content. That's why almost all modern MMOs fail to reach success levels of the early MMOs.
Whoa wait what!? You are blaming the Engine for lack of customization?!? That has absolutely NOTHING to do with the engine. The engine gives the tools, it doesn't do it for you. It doesn't give you skeleton framework or any of that. I can tell you now that you really do not understand what you are talking about.....
Customer service, I really think people understand the dev team is small.... but I truely believe these guys are dedicated, and I doubt customer service is going to be a Massive issue... besides, as people pick up they game they can bring on the CSR team. Give them a break.
Besides other games that have come out with multiplayer have been run and managed by small teams... Look at one of the more popular games... Minecraft. No it isn't an MMO.. but it is supported on all platforms, it IS multiplayer, and has many many users.
I think perhaps at some point you should stop worrying about what The Repopulation team is doing, and I don't know, maybe say HEY Good Job on trying.. because in the end it doesn't matter whether they succeed or fail. The Point is they tried to put out something beyond the norm.
I was being a bit sarcastic and countering the OPs statement.
I do think the game will do well.

If your going to troll you should at least do your homework. There was no "recent F2P announcement". This game has been free to play from the get go. That was clearly written on the Kickstarter a year ago.

You're overcharging.
Yes, Feb. or March of last year (when I first found it out on a public forum post) is a terribly recent announcement. And to suddenly announce it out of the blue, early last year, before doing a Kickstarter and to totally fail keeping it under wraps by being completely honest and up front on the website and even on Kickstarter. Such a travesty... It's a terribly business model, this honesty and interaction thing. /sarcasm
Know what makes me giggle? All these doom and gloom posts. It's like people are terrified that we're going to do something unique and awesome so they must continuously assert that we can't.
Atrocitus is pretty much the only major butthurt Repop troll on this forum.. That's not really that bad. Could be much worse
Keep up the great work devs!

You need to /ignore the OP Tanner. This thread started as un-informed trolling, which is like 4th rate neophyte trolling. I mean if you're going to try and argue against a game at least become somewhat knowledgeable about it.
And truthfully, all that launches nowadays are epic fails, so this game should get a commensurate share of the market.
