Excellent! glad to hear about this, been watching this one for along time!
I am so good, I backstabbed your face!
Wow, in February? Didn't expect that... This might mean one of two things:
1. They have run out of funds and need to release the game.
or, which I hope is true,
2. They have understood that hype is best done just before the game is released (lessons from WAR, AoC, DF etc) and has a product that is just about ready to release.
Still, making a publishing deal just 2 months beffore the game is supposed to be released is a bit alarming.
They have more than enough money to continue developing the game if they needed to.
Boy I hope to hear something about a NA Server
Great news! Can't wait!
Finally!
i'm not one for sandbox games but this one looks pretty good. can't wait to hear about a NA server.
Nice one! had my eye on this for a while. So open beta in January?

This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up the new ultra high caffeine soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session.
Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait.. WAAIIIIIT!!
I'am not sure which one i'am more surprised to hear..
That this game is actually releasing in the near future.. Or that the game is being released EU version first over NA?? lol
Either way as long as the EU version is NOT IP locked i'll be a happy camper.. I been waiting on this game forever.. If they are actually planning on releasing it this year though they should start pumping up the hype machine because this games hype died years ago.. Most considered it vaporware lol.
Currently Playing:
Rift + Starcraft II + Gears Of War 3 Beta
Since I saw the recent beta footage that shows this game no longer has FPS style combat then I am less and less bothered. It really does look like Tabula Rasa more and more. Not a bad thing as that game was excellent but I was looking for a sci-fi FPS sandbox and this game is not that !
4th of february, 2010 to be precise
though i must admit, it's very daring for them to release this game with it's current Beta State
because i am sure most of you have watched the video and that is not anywhere near Beta ( although it's CB )
So What Now?
EU first? Please no IP block!! Though I wonder when there will be an NA release date announced.
because atm no way any sane publisher would risk it.
It..Burns..
It still has the same style of targeting they stated it would have. In that video the program they used to capture it didn't show the reticule.

4th feb 2011 to be more acurate.
