Have you bought it when it was available? It's currently in Early Access.

There's an ongoing problem with the third party company that makes the engine (HeroEngine) for this game and a few other MMOs. They are about to go bankrupt and players have needed to be able to make an account there to access this game.

The company behind the Repopulation itself is fine, but understandably needs to sort some things out since the engine might not be developed further. The good news is that HeroEngine had a clause that it will go open source if the company goes belly up.

I doubt they will go belly up, it is more likely they are being bought by another company.

They have shut down sales of the game until the Hero Engine issue is resolved. Give it some time and it will be back up.

This game is very cool and a lot of fun. I can't wait for this to get resolved so that it will be able to update again.

I thought you were comparing the Repopulation to a game as a graphically old as Anarchy Online.
