I saw this, too.  It seems like most of the content on mmorpg.com for this title is a year or older.  It also says that the final game was released in 2009.  Can someone with background knowledge of the game explain?

Is this a title to be excited about or are the developers pushing a car that won't start? I'm willing to take the open-beta for a spin if it's worth the bother.
