It's pretty much going the same way as Greed Monger:
Hyped on Kickstarter >>> Promised Beta and Release within a year/a few months >>> Trying to cash in a second time after kickstarter ($150 Alpha access) >>> After 2 years game is sill in Alpha.

It's an ambitious but unrealistic Project that will soon be forgotten.
then it might put some truth behind such a bad comparison, I play The Repopulation Alpha, Greedmonger is an idea, not a real playable game( with game mechanics videos and mass players online), The Repopulation is a real game that is being played by hundreds. Also 2 years is nothing, typical MMO production cycle is 3-6 years. Bethesda started the TESO in 2007 http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/107319/ZeniMax_Online_Studios_Licenses_Simutronics_HeroEngine_For_New_MMO.php

YOu know, I read about the mechanics recently. And all of it is just a combination of aspects taken straight out of older SciFi mmos. And together with a very old engine, this game reminds me of the RPG Maker for Playstation 1, where you get most basic 2d scrolling textures and build your own RPG based on your previous experiences.
Do you really think that looks like Playstation One? Are you being sarcastic or just trolling along?
