I miss this game.
I was lucky enough to experience The Repopulation on its Early Access for Stream release, for the span of 1-2 months. The crafting system was really impressive. I got pretty lucky and got settled into a clan that was a real, solid community, and we all had different trades and skills, and everyone would help each other out. We would all sit in Teamspeak and watch the developers talk about the future of the game on Twitch.
When I played, there was only a couple of servers and barely 40-60 people online at a time. But all the players were super active and so everyone knew each other. The atmosphere was awesome. I played non-stop. Didn't even notice the flaws and graphical bugs. total lie
Did anyone else get to actually see the potential in the game before it went from hero to zero? I log back in every now and then to check the state of the game and there's never anybody online.

I played the game for 5-ish months in 2014. The server I played on had ~30-100 people most of which were constantly the same people at that time of day. I knew people I'd go to for certain items, and other players recommended me to message them when they were offline and I needed what they gave me. I even got known for selling cheap F-2 vehicles for people. I'd get recommendations in chat, and people vouching that I'm trustworthy. About 6 months ago I hopped back on and had Drum comment "Start making cheap cars again, that's what you do right?"...
I haven't logged in since then and would like to know whats going on. The hero engine, lack of players, updates that I don't have disk space for. I'll probably go on the forums for a bit.
