As I have been playing SWTOR for months on end, I figure it's a good time to switch things up for a little bit. The Repopulation is a game which I have covered here before, and have been interested in for a while. I did their Kickstarter early last year, so was able to get Alpha access. Recently, the NDA dropped so I am now free to talk about it.
The comparison with Star Wars Galaxies is most common, and pretty much on the money. I played SWG at launch, then came back later. I really enjoyed the open worlds, crafting, and building. That's what The Repopulation is all about too (plus PvP). The crafting is actually just insane. It makes every other system look like child's play.
So for the past couple weeks I've hit The Repopulation hard. I'll be playing catch up on blog posts, and will likely do a few videos too. The game doesn't look the best, but its depth so far makes up for it.
