Hat sich damit schon jemand näher beschäftigt? Wird wohl endlich mal wieder ein Sandbox-MMO und klingt nach dem ersten durchlesen ganz interessant.
Es wird drei PvP Fraktionen geben, nicht nur Spielerstädte, sondern sogar Spieler-Nationen, eine Vielfallt an Fähigkeiten, davon auch viele nicht-Kampfbezogene. Für mich liest es sich wie SWG 2 ohne Star Wars Lizenz.
Derzeit ists wohl noch im Alphastadium, vielleicht wirds Ende 2013 was.
Game Overview
The Repopulation is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. The action takes place on the planet Rhyldan, with the only known remaining human population fighting for their very existence. The indigenous life forms did not meet their colonization efforts with open arms. Worse yet, humans have managed to splinter themselves into warring factions.
It is a sandbox oriented MMORPG with an eye on innovation. Rather than forcing players down preset paths they are instead allowed to walk the path which they enjoy the most. With a variety of combat oriented and non-combat activities to pursue, we believe we’ve created a game that can stand the test of time.

•Most of the equipable items in The Repopulation are cosmetic shells which set the category of armor or weapon in that slot. The bulk of their stats come from their five fitting slots.

•Generated special abilities system for bosses will force groups or raids to adjust on the fly when fighting bosses, rather than simply looking up spoiler information on the internet.

•Vehicles can serve in combat roles.
