@spoletta Thanks for the info! If I were to buy it now, how often are the tests? You mentioned a test is ending soon, so should I wait for the next one? Will it be in a few months?

Hey all,

I have been feeling that MMO itch, and have been wading through the garbage in hopes of finding a not dead sandbox MMO. I heard about Fractured and thought "yeah, it looks perfect but will probably never release or be dead after a few weeks." Unfortunately, that's the outcome I've come to expect from sandbox MMOs, but I would love to be wrong! So here are some questions:

• How is the population in Alpha?
• Is it worth buying right now?
• Realistically, how is development and the future looking? (Hopefully better than Sui Generis, RIP)

For reference, the most recent sandboxes that I've played are Mortal Online at Alpha and for a couple years (dead now), Salem the Crafting MMO for a while (was dead when I played), and Albion Online at Alpha (turned into zerg theme park). After giving up on the genre, I played GW2 for a few hundred hours and then burned out on the theme park-ness. I've been debating playing FFXIV because it keeps getting recommended, but like everything else out right now it looks so... 2010. So please, please give me any reason to think this game is worth it haha!

Thanks!
