TLDR: check your spam folder if you signed up for beta
Just a heads up. I had a beta invite sitting in my gmail spam folder since 4/10. I got another email today about the "Tradeskill Extravaganza" this weekend (19th-21st) which did not get spammed so that prompted me to go searching. Downloading the beta client now and pretty synced.

An interview was posted today about the game engine. It's pretty neat if you're into that sort of thing.
http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=32245&storypage=1
Page 1 is mostly just general MMO talk with handling the game, Page 2 is a tiny bit of the code and development of the engine, and Page 3 is about the artstyle, like rendering and draw distance and how they plan on making it available to as many machines as possible, be it old or new.

TotalBiscuit has some videos up you can see the UI pretty well.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeUbXJZPkd0
However, they've stated that they are going to have really easy customization with the UI. Whether or not you can replace them with your own assets.. no idea yet, but they want to give that freedom for it so you can set it how you want.

That's a pretty cool article and those videos have been posted already. The UI is fully moddable like WOW. Apparently people are doing it already in beta.

Am i missing something?
The video you just posted reminds me of running through durotar as a level 5. I thought I went to their site and saw space flight and combat, am I wrong?
For some reason that video instantly made me lose interest in the game. I don't feel another linear MMO where you run around on terrain and have gated progression is "the next thing". The game may be amazing and a better "WoW" than WoW currently is but that really isn't saying much since they have a dolphin expert as head of class design now.
Really had an interest in this as I saw a ton of people drooling for this release and now, not sure why the pools of drool. maybe someone can "TL;DR" me on that?

If it was more purple would that make it more space barrens and less regular barrens?
There's only a certain number of plausible terrain archetypes.

no no, I get it, I guess I was expecting that it would be more like WoWtor. Like a combination of WoW and Spacecombat that isn't as...dated(?) as Eve.
The game takes place on a single planet, The Nexus, while it also has different zones on space stations, the moon (I think) and other space-type places. There is a zone where gravity is less so you jump hire and fall slower. You can find a PAX east video of it.

thought I saw a pic on their site that showed space combat, but it was only a brief look at their site.
Was likely wrong but then that honestly begs the question of why this game over other games of the same genre? Perhaps not over but alongside instead?
I mean I really don't want to bag on a game before it even releases but...
WoW Style graphics
Touting WoW devs on staff
History of WoW-esque trait games being lauded by the press only to shit on chest
Kinda why I asked if people could give me a TLDR why everyone seems to be brewing on this one. Like I understand Arche-age hype, the world is a completely open world with free flowing PVP and largescale enviornments and a vast sailable ocean complete with water battles. What's the hype for this game based on?
EDIT: Read the responses. I guess it isn't for me. Sounds interesting, but not THAT interesting for me, not yet.

If you're looking for something radically different then WoW you'll probably want to follow another game (not sure which one, the other projects with tangible info out have fail written all over). This is taking WoW and making it better, hopefully liberally taking the good parts of the other games that WoW didnt scoop up yet (like the dodging and stuff they obviously have).
Someone following it closer correct me please, but the biggest innovation is the warplot thingie right? Do we know if you just invade another warplot or if the put both yours and the opposing guild warplot adjacent?
