I am thinking about getting the Repopulation for my next MMO, but I would like to know is it any good? Anyone out there playing it?

    Looking forward to this one as well.  From my understanding, it seems pretty good, but they need to do a lot of polishing as well as do some significant work on combat before launch.

    A lot of Polish? Like how much Polish are we talking about here? And Combat still needs work? Well going thing I am more of a crafter type, but still not liking that.

    its still in early access (alpha), i bought it on steam sale, but it has a long way to go imo.

    If you are looking for something to learn and you will need the time regarding crafting depth lol, then pick it up now and have some good idea of whats what when in future it launches. As there will be a wipe of characters at that time.

    If you played swg and crafted in that you will now know what to expect and even more so. Not to mention that hey its already got depth in crafting but its going even deeper I hear...

    It seems if this is going to be a future title I wish to sink time into when its around for the masses then picking it up early is going to be a saving grace. Of course its early access so take that into consideration but plenty to focus on even now :)

    If you are a thinker and like reward for the effort then pick it up.

    If you are a instant gratification mmo player then don't bother.

    That's my thought also.  It isn't coming out for some time yet, so I'm in no rush.  Once it gets closer, I might get it earlier than release to get used to everything, so that I hit the ground running.

    see this is my point . I like crafting in the different MMOs, that have a good crafting setup. I played on UO and in SWG, and when I heard about this game, well I was thinking why not. I really have to think about it, cause even if getting in early with a leg up on everyone else, I hate the lose it all in a server wipe. lol

    It's turning out into a very promissing game with a big living and breathing world to enjoy, but at the same time in many ways it still feels very much under construction (which it is). So if you just want to enjoy, I'd suggest waiting for now (unless you actually want to support them).

    I agree with this with the addition that the GMs and Devs (both in game and on the forums) are active and are listening while implementing changes based on player feedback.

    I'm happy playing the game, getting to know the ropes while I genuinely feel I am contributing to its development with criticism and feedback which Devs have responded to.

    As mentioned, though, the game is not finished and I (personally) don't think it will be released this year, although that's their target. There will also be full server wipes prior to game release meaning all progress you make will be lost. That said, for $15* and even in an advanced Alpha state, it has been money well spent for me.

    *Obtaining Early Access also purchases a one-day headstart when the game is launched too iirc.

     

    The short answer to your thread title though, is yes from me.

    Sorry didn't address the population question. If you roll on US East server, I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised just how active it is.

    It is very good and even awesome if you are into complex crafting and sandbox feeling. One of the rare games in early access that have a game to offer and hours of fun (however it is still in alpha stage).

    No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.

    Could you be more specific? Certain areas of the world closed? Placeholder graphics? Unstable? etc. etc.

    I have followed this game for a long time. I'm a scifi nut and I absolutely love sandbox games. My most loved MMORPGs are Anarchy Online and EVE Online. But I'm still on the fence about buying into early access.

    Its still in testing so yes it still needs work but its getting better all the time.

     

    if you want to help test and look for bugs then yup pick it up.. if you want to play a finished game then its best to wait until its finished.

    Remember there will be a wipe for release as well so anything done in testing will be lost.

    You can pick up the game for only 20 euros (dollar?). For that you get an actual game you can play right now, with a lot of features. In my humble opinion, the game in its current state is well worth the 20 euros, even with the knowledge the game will release as a free to play game in less than 6 months.

    OP you mention crafting is your main thing in MMO's. TheRepopulation has the closest thing to the much-appraised crafting system from Star Wars Galaxies currently on the MMO market.

    Here is a youtube video giving a little introduction to the game with the guy mentioning the good, the bad and the ugly

    Good game but lousy communinty. At least on the East Coast server.  Prudish and self absorbed.

    Good game, but a "work in progress"...... it won't be ready for quite awhile.

    I played for a bit. It is still very rough, they just redid the tutorial area which I spent like 5 hours in and it is a very welcome change, hopefully a sign of things to come. However there isn't that much to do in the game world proper, mostly just grinding, farming, and crafting.

     

    Also ditto on the other guy who said the community sucks. Wow, they are terrible. Most early access communities, especially with small player bases like this, tend to be very helpful and supportive. I politely asked for some basic tips on where to go and I got outright hostility. Quickest way to turn me off from playing.

    Wait for the launch, all characters will be wiped anyways, so all progress you make now will be lost.

    I agree, that was my experience also.  I tried to get some help a few times in the global chat but they all seemed a little too preoccupied with touting themselves, to offer much assistance. In fact I can't even recall a response.

    As for the OP asking if it is a good game?   A good game for who?  You? Me?  If you want to know if it is good for you, then better state a little bit about yourself first.  

    I have already said what I think about it.   But no point in repeating it, as you could have a totally different perspective.  Which I why I feel asking people in general "Is this a good game? " is usually a bad idea.

    Actually OP, its not...Its an actual pain to play. Horrid graphics, bugs everywhere...In all actuality, its not worth your actual time...

    If you know what to expect from a game in alpha state you can pick it up now. Join a nation, enjoy the mature community and secure your role in the future. 
    If lack of polish or severe bugs bother you then I suggest you should wait till at least game is in beta. 
    I never had any problems in the EU community but you have to find a group of people to play with in these sort of games because they aren't solo friendly at all. And that's a positive point in my book.
