Ive been following for four years, or whenever it was first rumored. The first release is like a giant test for viability of the mmo, and to get all the mechanics squared away. Right now the game area is big, like a valley, but its suggested that it will encompass a state or two in the mmo, with rival groups, or allied groups, raids. I can just imagine finding a rival group, getting 30+ peeps together, attracting a horde to their defenses, and then attacking in the panic. Soo much potential.
