The Repopulation was a science-fiction sandbox MMORPG started by Above & Beyond Technologies. Kickstarted in 2012 with Star Wars Galaxies as its model, it entered early access in 2014 on HeroEngine. Idea Fabrik, the engine's owner, later took the game over.
There were no classes, just more than 75 skills, from combat and diplomacy to crafting and entertainment. You could fight in an RPG mode or a shooter-style action mode and switch at any time. Players built homes and cities with vendors and guards, crafting was detailed, and three-faction PvP was optional.
The game never left early access. On 13 January 2023 the servers were switched off by TGS Tech, the contractor maintaining it, which could neither make it viable nor agree terms with Idea Fabrik. There is no official way to play it now.
