The Repopulation: A Sci Fi MMO RPG


What is it?

quote:

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.

They also have stuff like this that they're making with their money:

Basically it looks like another sci-fi MMO. Will it do better than its peers in an already saturated market? Well, we have things like Wildstar so it'll probably do better than that. That's not exactly a high bar. Still, it's not out yet and

Okay but what about player housing so I can do stuff that's legal between two consenting adults or whatever?

quote:

The Repopulation will offer 3 housing options for players to choose from: instanced housing, persistent world housing, and player city housing. Instanced plots will be available for the OWON and FPR factions along with an option for players who are not aligned with either. The factions will not share instanced housing neighborhoods. Each instance will have small to large plots available for players to place homes. These instances will create small neighborhood communities within the instance.

Goon PVE guild. Still forming, updates pending.

PVP centric guild, will be working with (and sometimes AGAINST! NYAHAHAHAHAH!) SCT; basically if you enjoy griefing the gently caress out of people you should contact Kimsemus who is handling this end of things.

:frogsiren: NEW GOON GUILD :frogsiren:

Goon Squad has been created as a Rogue nation on the East server. You will need to press "n" to view your nation tab and leave your current nation. After 5 minutes, send Rehab Submarine a tell and I'll invite you to our Nation.

Note: To send a tell, you need to do /tell Rehab Submarine, This is some message. Requires a comma in order to do it, which has thrown a few of us through loops.

When you set up chat rooms you can move your position and the direction you are facing in the chat room so people can hear you better. Or you can turn and whisper to your friend so no one else can hear it.

There will be a mandatory meeting in voice chat tomorrow evening at 6PM Pacific Time. If you do not attend you will be blacklisted from the guild and all activites. Make sure you are prepared beforehand for at least three hours of discussion, instructions, and plans from your leaders. Opsec important. Leaks will be found and removed with prejudice.

There will also be a splinter PVP goon guild called Bullying For Money (BFM for short) but I think that can stay in the overall SCT forums in a different section since they'll be kinda related. Having related but separate guilds will keep the drama out maybe that has happened in other games. We just need someone to manage SCT (the PVE portion) and BFM (the PVP portion).

Maybe this is the true successor to SWG we've been waiting for. My only concerns:
- The F2P business model isn't working well with Archeage, with rampant hacking and botting.
- The engine/graphics look severely outdated. There are lots of indie sandbox games coming out around about now, this game won't survive if it can't offer a polished experienced.
