This game got my attention mostly because it had no elves in it! That is a big plus! And second I'm getting tired of the "conventional" fantasy mmorpgs. The genre need some new fresh blood in different scenery!

A mobile is a mobile, and most are there to be killed . If the gameplay sucks it doesn't matter what you call a mobile cash cow it just won't be fun.

This should win over a lot of Fallout fans or fans of post-apoc settings in general since the competition for this is *slim* among online RPGs
2. FPS combat:
Again something rare among MMoRPGs. Those games that had it so far pretty much failed because it was either implemented badly or the game was lacking in other vital areas. This feature is one of my personal favorites.
3. lack of good competition:
Many who wait for this are simply tired of fantasy settings and/or dumb grindfests which make up the current majority of MMoRPGs with only few notable exceptions.
4. Sandbox:
Those games have become very rare in favor of linear grind games so people are hoping for FE to deliver.
5. PVP War:
While restricted to zones the PVP will be more about capturing towns and outposts rather than just plain killing each other, again a personal favorite, hope it turns out as nicely as described.
6. Some more stuff: Mounted combat (this alone should make it a winner imho), zombies, gore, lack of class restrictions, deformable terrain
There's more but for that you might want to browse the official forums.
Ummm 4 out of 6 were in Tabula Rasa as well and = Floptanza.
I hope FE is a great game but I have my reservations.

1) kinda. If by post apocolyptic, you mean... small.
2) No. It was combat with guns, but my guns refused to shoot what I was aiming at. That's not an FPS. My bullets do not go whipping off to the side in an FPS because they decided I really had to shoot that mob my cursor was over for half a second rather than the actual threat.
3) Can't argue that.
4) HHAHAHAAHAHA TR has the least sandbox-esque environment ever. Seriously, if I could figure out a single way to change the environment in TR, I'd be shocked. I think WoW might be more of a sandbox than TR.
5) TR has no PvP to speak of
6) TR has no extras, except perhaps the single most epically pointless crafting system ever thought of by mortal man. Seriously, if the crafting system got any worse, it would spontaniously delete your operating system.
So overall, TR has maybe... 1 or 2 of those features, tops.
In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.
How did this [product] not appear on my radar? There I was bitching about the state of the MMORPG industry after another long sabbatical, and FE appeared inconspicuously on my radar under 'Games Under Development'.
From reading the synopsis of the game in this thread, I'm starting to sense a peculiar feeling: an odd, warm, fuzzy feeling enveloping me. Now, either I've just pissed myself, or I have a flicker of interest that is starting to flame.
Every feature listed in the synopsis receives a great, big 'tick' from me.
Time to head on over to the website and find out more.

This game has been under a lot of people's radar, but almost all of them have the same reaction you did. A lot of people have been waiting for something to fill the sandbox/sci-fi mmo gap that opened when SWG went down the toilet. Good crafting, skill based, non-linear, non-fantasy and not overly simplistic.
Plus the devs actually listen to and interact with their potential customers. What a concept.
It seems that the small independent game developers are the only ones putting out anything that is not cookie cutter/linear/fantasy/wowish crap.
There are literally 40 people in my office that are going to buy this game when it comes out.
Because Gamma World was my first paper and pencil RPG and since then post holocaust has been my favorite. Also, you can only play Fallout 1 and 2 so many time before you wish you had someone live to talk to.

This is one of the very few games and game developers to really blow me away. The only thing I don't really care for is the FPS action of the game, but I should be able to get over that. I really like what I have seen so far though and hope it delivers on just a bit of what it promises.

A question about the zombies in FE, what makes them any different from the zombies that exist in WoW, Vanguard and such?
Ummm 4 out of 6 were in Tabula Rasa as well and = Floptanza.

/agreed
i was hyped about TR and all the things i thought would be cool
however when i got into beta i admit i had a lto of fun for what..oh the...first ten levels
then they nerfed exp farming with my shotgun so i thought "awe man now i have to play the game instead of running and hitting everything
then about 3 days befoer it went live (after i had not touched the game for a few weeks) i decided that it was over hyoed and a complete waste of time
and i hope FE and be my MMO (along with War) and it looks great and promising

sounds awesome, just wish it wasn't fps. I must be one of the few people that don't mind button mashing.
Well they are still tweaking the combat system, and it is not necessarily going to be twitch based, crap.
