Well I enjoed the first iteration of SWG - player cities, resource mining with huge extractors, etc.
I'm enjoying, for the most part, PlanetSide2.
I'm not even remotely interested in EQ-Next/Landmark
This game, however, seems interesting. I like zombies. I like "sandbox" games (though lets be honest that is an overused term and has no defined meaning anymore). I like player built structures and a world you can physically build or destroy.
I likely wont follow this game very closely BUT if it is truly F2P then I will give a go regardless of reviews.

Also you cant build a town/fortress in DayZ, nor be a farmer. I dont know how extensive DayZ crafting is either. What I do know is that I'm not interested in DayZ but this game seems like an awesome upcoming sandbox, with different ruleset servers.
Edit; PS. Obviously the wall of text is to inform people like you that it's different, so are you just trolling or unable to read? Pick one.
Smed never did anything to me. I have been on and off player for EQ and EQ2 for almost 10 years now.
Only because SWG fans got screwed by LA doesn't mean Smed is the devil. I am sure rest of the player base has no problem with Smed. Both EQ games got an excellent support and same will happen with EQN. So i have no problem playing another one of their MMO.
I'll gladly pay $20 for early access to this. I have been biding my time waiting for DayZ to be at an acceptable level of playability and I know that if SOE has had this game in development since Rust or the DayZ standalone game have been in development, SOE will be MILES ahead in terms of the game actually working somewhat the way it's supposed to. I played through WarZ/Infestation for months in a broken state until they got it "fixed," so I know I can make it through this.
The best thing I can think of about SOE making a game like this? The likelihood of cheaters being abundant drastically drops (IMO).
That sentence worries me. Is this going to be another secret world fail crafting system? The thought of gathering ore and out pops a semi automatic weapon makes me a little sad.
SOE are in a good spot at the moment, DayZ:SA progress is slow as ballz and rust is a little too rough round the edges for most. $20 early access on steam going to sell like hot cakes.

Well at least we know what "The Agency" MMO has turned into , a zombie MMO , hmm , o well they can at least recuperate some of the cash with the early access ( yes that was tongue in cheek ).
I think I would have preferred an agent themed MMO. I won't be fooled into giving them $20 for early access. I also wont hold my breath for it. All this charging for alpha , early access and betas is getting a bit much.

I like the idea behind this H1Z1, i don't know if i like the idea of the F2P bit though, SOE's monetisation methods often seem a bit overly P2W, only have to look at Planetside2 to see how that went, if you want to compete then you need to buy weapons, quite a few of them, and although it has a sub option, it doesn't really change the fact you still have to buy weapons, it just gives you faster XP, and thats something that may well end up in this new game, having said that though, Planetside 2 is an awesomely fun game. i don't think H1Z1 will be a WoW beater, but it may just be the end of Dayz .. yeah sorry couldnt resist it.
While I like the concept of the game, I am disappointed in the so-called "free to play" aspect. I just read an article that states that 25 percent of those that play these so-called f2p titles actually pay money. That means that 1 person pays to allow 3 people to play for free. There is something very wrong with that. So, this new SOE title is going to go the same route...another ding joint.
If this is supposed to be there "SWG" successor, it isn't going to work.
SWG was more than just gathering/crafting/trading, it was a RPG setting. A modern real world isn't going to draw former SWG players.
Now if they had gone with a real world that was devastated by an alien invasion that wiped out most of the population with an "alien" enemy and some futuristic crafting...ok.
All this charging for alpha , early access and betas is getting a bit much.
So you would prefer charging everyone a purchase price instead?
Well Landmark and this new zombie MMO are F2P are they not ? So if they wanted money other than from a cash shop then they should have chosen the monetary models more carefully. Maybe the freemium model or as you said charge for them B2P ? They could have even been subb only games. It is very misleading to charge money for what you quoted from my older post. Just look at the poor haps on the Landmark forum , saying such things as I am still glad to be part of the alpha testing dev team , working along side them etc etc Such suckers and just shows the new generation haven't a clue anymore. They aren't proper testers anyway , especially after paying $100. It's quite sad and hilarious at the same time.

What is the difference between:
Population being wiped out by "aliens".
And
Population being wiped out by "zombies".
Sci-fi . need I say more ? SWG was sci-fi.

What was not understood about my post? SWG was more than just a gathering/crafting/trading game, which is the only thing this game has similar to SWG...so calling it an SWG successor makes no sense.
With aliens it brings in sci-fi which could then make it more like SWG in that we could create futuristic items, transform modern earth into a more futuristic one to defend our planet with and even eventually take it into space and thus adding in even more SWG elements.

So you want Falling skies instead of The walking dead.

There you go, since you seemed to have missed it the first time. Even with the misspelling that I didn't notice before.
I didn't miss it the 1st time. Just don't think that will matter to the swg players. I don't think it's so much sci if or modern world they care about it's more sandbox features over theme park features they want and won't care what skin it's in.
Guess Smeds and soe chose to go with what's hot right now and that's zombies not aliens.
That sentence worries me. Is this going to be another secret world fail crafting system? The thought of gathering ore and out pops a semi automatic weapon makes me a little sad.
I had the same thought reading that, I'd think we'd have Jerry-rigged weapons in this type of environment TBH, not bases that need molds etc, IE an exact 1911.. Makes no sense.

Early acess for 20$
But it will eventually be F2P or what ?
Exactly. A game map size of U.S
Nobody said that and it is not happening, stop making stuff up.Well I enjoed the first iteration of SWG - player cities, resource mining with huge extractors, etc.

Actually, it sounds like the game that we all hoped Fallen Earth would be...
Er, remember Fallen Earth ? Looking at these screenshots of H1Z1 definitely reminded me of FE.

Smedley and SoE get more blind bashing than any other developer and its not even close.
Plus no intelligent person actually believes a game designed to have no box cost charging a small fee for early access is unethical.
If they do just tell them "DayZ is over there to the left".
"I made a 1911 the other day"
