Where is it?  No one knows, not even the people who are designing it, Micro Forte.  I remember when they 1st talked about the game, had such hi potential for an MMO, now it seems to almost be vaporware with no updates.  The Microforte.com site has been upgraded and has a bunch of job postings.  I wonder if they lost most of their staff and are now trying to build up again.  I wonder who supports them because I don't know how you can go for 6 years developing a game, 2 of the last years no update, and still pay employees.  In either case this game still could be revived with a revamped engine and maybe some backing from Microsft for $$.  I think it should be pushed into overdrive and released no later the 2nd half 2007.  For more information about the game search for it on gamespot.

Well as we all know we can only go so high before we need
something bigger and better. This my personal analysis of hardware we
will need want going for the next few years.

In 2007

Expect to have a single core CPU, multi-core would help if playing one games
and running other application at the same time. for RAM I would say games
would require 1Gig and recommend 2G or more. I would also recommend a
minimum of an nvidia or ATi with 256M and DirectX 9.0c compliant. Another
item would be a 7200 RPM Hard drive at 100gig for a few games and MP3's :-)

In 2008

Here I would see us hitting the limits. RAM would be a necessity as well
as speed. 4 Gig of RAM would be my recommendation running Windows Vista
x64 64bit edition. this will assist with working with RAM 4G and
greater. I would recommend getting a multi-core CPU (2 cores or better)
as by this time it will be mainstream and if game developer already have
patches for multi-core now they should be more frequent if not standard by
then. For video card I would also recommend 512MB total video ram and one
fast GPU from nvidia or ATi or multi GPU supporting full DirectX 10. On
Disk Drive I would think we would be up to 100G solid State Hard drives Flash,
this would be ideal for those games that need the time to load. If not I
would say something with 10,000rpm and 16mb cache would be ideal.
