Anyone else get the email about the next Planetside?

Dunno if it's real or not, seems abit weird to send an email so obviously hinting at the next Planetside and then the quests seemed really stupid. I mean it asks you to put them in order of importance and yet what if I want them all? I mean it says combat Targetting system...... what does that even mean? Does that mean they're making it into an RPG auto targeting game rather than an FPS?
I dunno what they want to get out of this as it wont give back reliable info and they havn't given me any info to answer these questions. I mean I want an open world game like Planetside but with BIGGER battles, a better art style so the graphics looks nice again and for the combat to be made upto date. On top of that I don't want the same bases copied and pasted over again and want a mix up of Islands like City islands. I want for them to finally put in proper sea battles.
However I fear if the email is real all we'll get is Battlefield Heroes : Planetsides gimmick is giant battles, so if it doesn't do that then what is the point?

Can't be real because they asked you to list them fro 1 - 15 but theres 16 there lol, no professional company would make such a stupid mistake....... oh wait.
I've gone through all the questions and most of them are useless but the one good one is at the end that asks you personally what you want to see and I asked for Planetside but with bigger battles and learnt from the mistakes of the past. So instead of all the same bases copied and pasted over and over, put city islands and stuff there. This time to have sea battles aswel. Also to take a different direction in art style from Planetside because lets be honest the story wasn't good, the factions always looked really generic and you couldn't get attached to anything. Would be much better to have full on different races like the Zerg, Protoss and Terran.
However ALOT of the questions were about paying for Items and Micro Transactions which makes me worried.
Took long enough! Won't see it for another few years most likely, as I assume this is to get some baseline info to help them along in the preproduction stage of development and make the big decisions about the game. But at least it's coming!

It's true. Hooray.
In addition, the original is slated to get better anti-hacking support and Vista support.
